AGENDA ITEM
City Council Meeting

TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: James Takehara, Electric Utility Director
DATE: January 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Approval of Third Annual Wildfire Mitigation Plan for 2022 FILE NO: E-090-522-290

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution serving as the third annual Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council has adopted the City’s initial Wildfire Mitigation Plan (“WMP”), accepted a report from an independent third party who analyzed the WMP for its completeness in meeting state laws, and adopted the second revised WMP by Resolutions CC-19-76, CC-20-36, and CC-21-09, respectively. The purpose of WMP is to prevent overhead electric utility assets from causing a catastrophic wildfire.

State law requires the City Council to annually review the WMP and update as needed and to perform a comprehensive review after three years. Staff has conducted the third and final annual review of the initial WMP. Next year, staff is required to perform a comprehensive review of the WMP.

Staff finds no substantive updates are needed to the WMP at this time and recommends no changes to the WMP content. The accompanying WMP Performance Report for 2021 captures reportable events that occurred from January to December, 2021. There were no fire ignitions caused by City electric assets and one wire down event. The portion of the City’s grid that experienced the wire down event is protected by fast-acting devices approved by Cal Fire in high fire threat areas. Additional tree trimming and other treatments are scheduled in 2022 around this event location.
4 The attached WMP is marked version 1.2 and is labeled as the Third Annual WMP. The content of this proposed version is the same as the last version of the WMP, except for refreshing the version number and dates where appropriate.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

There is no financial impact to adopting this status update on the WMP.

A. POLICY STATEMENT
The City of Shasta Lake (“City”) Electric Department’s overarching goal is to provide safe, reliable, and environmentally-friendly energy at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound business practices. In order to meet this goal, the City, through its Electric Department, constructs, maintains, and operates its electrical lines and equipment in a manner that minimizes the risk of catastrophic wildfire posed by its electrical lines and equipment.

B. PURPOSE OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan (“WMP” or “Plan”) describes in detail the range of activities that the Electric Department is taking to mitigate the threat of power-line ignited wildfires, including its various programs, policies, and procedures. This Plan is subject to direct supervision by the City of Shasta Lake City Council and is implemented by the City Manager. This Plan complies with the requirements of Public Utilities Code section 8387 for publicly owned electric utilities to prepare a wildfire mitigation plan by January 1, 2020, and annually thereafter.

The policies described in this Plan describe the City’s policies and preparedness in mitigating risks associated with power-line ignited wildfires. The Plan compliments other City planning documents, such as the City of Shasta Lake Hazard Mitigation Plan and other emergency planning documents administered by other departments within the City. The programs and strategies included in the WMP are evolving and are subject to change. As new technologies, practices and networks develop, and other environmental influences or risks are identified, changes to address them may be incorporated into the future iterations of the WMP which is, in effect, a living document.

C. ORGANIZATION OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan included the following elements:
• Objectives of the Plan;
• Roles and responsibilities for carrying out the Plan; • Identification of key wildfire risks and risk drivers; • Description of Wildfire Prevention Strategies;
• Metrics for measuring the performance of the Plan and identifying areas for improvement;
• Community outreach and education.
11 II. OBJECTIVES OF THE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN
A. MINIMIZING SOURCES OF IGNITION
The primary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to minimize the probability that the City’s transmission and distribution system may be an original or contributing source for the ignition of a fire. The City has evaluated the prudent and cost-effective improvements to its physical assets, operations, and training that can help to meet this objective, and has implemented those changes consistent with this evaluation.

B. RESILIANCY OF THE ELECTRIC GRID
The secondary goal of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to improve the resiliency of the electric grid.

As part of the development of this Plan, the City’s Electric Department is assessing new industry practices and technologies that will reduce the likelihood of a disruption in service and improve the restoration of service.

C. MINIMIZING UNNECESSARY OR INEFFECTIVE ACTIONS
The final goal for this Wildfire Mitigation Plan is to measure the effectiveness of specific wildfire mitigation strategies. Where a particular action, program, or protocol is determined to be unnecessary or ineffective, the City will assess whether a modification or replacement is merited.

This Plan will also help determine if more cost-effective measures would produce the same or better results.
12 III. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The City Manager acts as the Public Information Officer (PIO) for general communication with the media and public and during emergency situations. The City Manager may delegate this role.

The Finance Director oversees customer-facing functions, including communications with customers regarding power outages, receiving and routing reports of potentially faulty City equipment, receiving and routing reports of potentially dangerous conditions, etc. The Finance Director administers the contract with the third-party after-hours call center service, which is activated outside normal business hours, holidays, and weekends. The operators at the afterhours call center are responsible for receiving and processing call details and forwarding to the appropriate on-call City personnel for further action.

The Electric Utility Director has overall functional management of the Electric Department and provides day-to-day oversight of the department. The Assistant Electric Director and Electric Operations Manager provide division oversight. The Electric Director reports to the City Manager.

The Assistant Electric Director oversees the design and engineering tasks associated with the distribution system, new service interconnections, engineering standards, SCADA communications, Advanced Metering Infrastructure communications and design, among other duties. The Assistant Electric Director assumes operational authority of the department in the absence of the Electric Director.

The Electric Operations Manager oversees the daily electric utility operations, including:
construction, maintenance, vegetation management, and other daily duties. The Electric Operations Manager oversees all field personnel and reports to the Electric Utility Director.

Electric Department staff have the following responsibilities regarding fire prevention, response and investigation:
• Conduct work in a manner that will minimize potential fire dangers. • Take all reasonable and practicable actions to prevent and suppress fires resulting from City electric facilities.
• Coordinate with federal, state, and local fire management personnel to ensure that appropriate preventative measures are in place.
• Immediately report fires, pursuant to specified procedures. • Take corrective action when observing or having been notified that fire protection measures have not been properly installed or maintained. • Ensure compliance with relevant federal, state, and industry standard requirements. • Ensure that wildfire data is appropriately collected. • Maintain adequate training programs for all relevant employees.

B. COORDINATION WITH OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS
14 In addition to the electric utility, the City owns and operates a water utility and waste water utility, which are administered by their respective department staff and whose distribution infrastructure are administered by the City’s Public Works department.

The Water Utility provides retail service to approximately 3,900 customers within the City’s boundaries and to the Shasta Dam Visitor Center that is operated by the US Bureau of Reclamation. The City’s “Fishermans Point Water Treatment Plant” (WTP) is the single source of all potable water supply within the City of Shasta Lake. This includes all water service to all homes, businesses, and industrial customers; all fire hydrants within City boundaries, and all water used to meet fire flow requirements pursuant to applicable laws and building codes. The WTP relies upon electric service from the City’s Electric Department to function properly.

The City owns and operates a Waste Water Utility, including a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) and 4 sewage lift stations (Pump Stations). The Waste Water Utility staff operates the WWTP. The WWTP and all Pump Stations rely on electric service from the City’s Electric Department to function properly.

The City’s Public Works Department is responsible for operating and maintaining the water distribution system and sewage collection system, including all pump stations.

The WTP, WWTP, and 3 of 4 Pump Stations are each equipped with a diesel-powered backup generator that is designed to maintain each critical facility’s vital functions during short-duration power outages. These units and the supporting infrastructure are not designed for prolonged power outages.

Recent events highlight the importance of City electric service to the water and wastewater facilities. The City suffered from city-wide power outage events on July 26, 2018 (Carr Fire) and on February 13, 2019 (winter storms), both events declared emergencies by the President of the United States.
• Carr Fire: Loss of electric service for 23-hours significantly impacted the WTP ability to produce water for the City’s distribution system. Treated water supply in the City’s main distribution storage tank fell to approximately 5 feet, which could supply the City’s needs for approximately 3-7 hours. Had the outage continued, and had water supplies been depleted, all water services, including fire hydrants and building fire flows, would be inoperable exposing the community to substantial and diverse safety risks. • February Winter Storms: Loss of electric service for 6-hours at a sewage pump station caused a temporary storage basin to fill. Raw sewage levels rose to approximately 1 foot from storage capacity before electric service had been restored allowing the pumps to operate to safely evacuate waste material. Had the power outage continued, and sewage levels continued to rise, raw sewage would have potentially spilled into local creeks and waterways that connect to critical wildlife habitat.

When electric operations could, or are known to impact the water utility, waste water utility, or public works, City utilities staffs will coordinate to mitigate, or where practical, eliminate impact to utility service continually. Electric Department staff collaborates proactively to notify City 15 water, wastewater, and public works staff of planned outages and communicate as quickly as practical during energy power outages that impact one or multiple enterprises. This emergency notification will be extended to on-duty operator(s) or supervisor(s).

C. COORDINATION WITH COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE

PROVIDERS
During emergency operations, City staff updates the customer-facing information websites or social media for power outage information, affected areas, and restoration updates.

D. STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
As a local governmental agency,1 the City has planning, communication, and coordination obligations pursuant to the California Office of Emergency Services’ Standardized Emergency Management System (“SEMS”) Regulations,2 adopted in accordance with Government Code section 8607. The SEMS Regulations specify roles, responsibilities, and structures of communications at five different levels: field response, local government, operational area, regional, and state.3 Pursuant to this structure, the City regularly coordinates and communicates with the relevant safety agencies as well as other relevant local and state agencies.

Under the SEMS structure, a significant amount of preparation is done through advanced planning at the county level, including the coordination of effort of public, private, and nonprofit organizations. Shasta County serves as the Operational Area and is guided by the Emergency 1 As defined in Cal. Gov. Code § 8680.2.
2 19 CCR § 2407.
3 Cal. Gov. Code § 2403(b):
(1) “Field response level” commands emergency response personnel and resources to carry out tactical decisions and activities in direct response to an incident or threat. (2) “Local government level” manages and coordinates the overall emergency response and recovery activities within their jurisdiction.
(3) “Operational area level” manages and/or coordinates information, resources, and priorities among local governments within the operational area and serves as the coordination and communication link between the local government level and the regional level. (4) “Regional level” manages and coordinates information and resources among operational areas within the mutual aid region designated pursuant to Government Code §8600 and between the operational areas and the state level. This level along with the state level coordinates overall state agency support for emergency response activities. (5) “State level” manages state resources in response to the emergency needs of the other levels, manages and coordinates mutual aid among the mutual aid regions and between the regional level and state level, and serves as the coordination and communication link with the federal disaster response system.
16 Management Council that is made up of the County Sherriff, Fire Warden, Chair of the Board of Supervisors, and senior leadership positions from the County.

The Shasta County Sherriff’s Office of Emergency Services (OES):
• Coordinates with Federal, State, and local agencies to prepare, respond, and recover from emergencies and natural disasters.
• Is responsible for maintaining and updating the County Emergency Operation Plan (EOP), which is an all hazards plan for Shasta County.
• Has a direct link to the CA Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal-OES) during disasters or any other critical incidents and can work with Cal-OES to obtain a Presidential emergency proclamation.
• Maintains the county Emergency Operation Center (EOC), which can be activated to address major incidents to carry out the functions of the EOP. • Serves as a point of contact for the City of Shasta Lake, and other local agencies, to CalOES.

The City is a member of the California Utility Emergency Association, which plays a key role in ensuring communications between utilities during emergencies. The City also participate in the Western Energy Institute’s Western Region Mutual Assistance Agreement, which is a mutual assistance agreement covering utilities across a number of western states. 17 IV. WILDFIRE RISKS AND DRIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH DESIGN,

CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE
A. PARTICULAR RISKS AND RISK DRIVERS ASSOCIATED WITH

TOPOGRAPHIC AND CLIMATOLOGICAL RISK FACTORS
The City of Shasta Lake has several attributes that pose higher risk factors for wildfire. City of Shasta Lake and its surrounding areas:

1. Are classified as “Wildland Urban Interface,” or “WUI,” which is defined as “an area where human made structures and infrastructure are in or adjacent to areas prone to wildfire4.” Approximately 5.15 square miles and 3.20 square miles are defined as Wildland Urban Intermix and Interface, respectively, for a total of 8.35 square miles with a WUI designation, out of a total area of 10.83 square miles (77.1%).

2. Contains variable terrain.

3. Is near Shasta Lake (the lake itself), which can contribute to strong north winds, although this is not common.

The area is home to several species of oak trees, including White Oaks, and species of pine trees, particularly Gray Pines. Both White Oaks and Gray Pines are susceptible to failure during strong wind events. Both varieties can grow to reach approximately 100-ft in height at maturity introducing challenges for vegetation management, as these types of trees can be well outside the powerline right-of-way but still be within striking distance in the event these trees fall.

Drought can contribute to several WMP issues. Any drought year has the potential to create a prolonged “fire season.” Multi-year droughts, such as the drought experience in the mid-2000s, can weaken all tree and vegetation species making them more susceptible to insect infestation and breakage, and more prone to fire ignition.

The City faces some restrictions and influence that challenge the City’s ability to manage vegetation effectively near overhead electric assets. Some City electric assets reside on Federal lands, where right-of-way width reduces to minimal levels and are narrower than the City’s standard trimming practices. The most restrictive Federal mandate appears to prioritize how the powerline clearing looks, aesthetically, from the surface of Shasta Lake (the lake itself), discouraging wide clearances around powerlines for their undesirable appearance. Other Federal restrictions prohibit the use of herbicides, a vegetation management treatment that is extremely effective at long term fuels suppression and management inside powerline rights-ofways. Local opinion and policy pressures seek to protect native trees from any trimming and/or removal, including White Oaks and Gray Pines, which are native to the area.

Generally, when the above factors of environment, topology, climate, and external policy become factors in wildfires, risks are driven by: foreign objects contacting high-voltage electrical 4 https://www.usfa.fema.gov/wui/
18 equipment (e.g., animal contact, vegetation, mylar balloons, vehicles); equipment failure; or wire to wire contact. Other risks are driven by deliberate actions of others (e.g., vandalism), or actions by City personnel.

B. ENTERPRISEWIDE SAFETY RISKS
Electric Department operations, engineering, and field personnel were consulted in conducting a risk assessment analysis for wildfires that could potentially involve City overhead electric equipment. The risk analysis focused on potential causes and consequences of catastrophic wildfire involving City electric equipment.

2. CONSEQUENCES OF A WILDFIRE INVOLVING CITY ELECTRIC UTILITY EQUIPMENT:
• Serious injury or death
• Disruption of public/utility services
• Damage to property and infrastructure
• Legal and regulatory compliance
• Public trust
• Financial
• Environmental

3. FIRE RISK DRIVERS
Electric utility equipment design, engineering, and safety protocols are closely regulated under health and safety under national, regional, and local safety standards. Considering the commonality across legal and regulatory structures that govern electric utility operations, the risk drivers of wildfire ignition by electric utility assets share strong similarities across organizations, including City of Shasta Lake. Staff evaluated utility operations, based on broad past industry 19 experience and operational experiences within the City and the following grouping of risk drivers are present.

1. Contact from objects

2. Equipment failure

3. Wire to wire contact

4. Other
Contact from Objects: City of Shasta Lake utilizes bare wire conductors for its transmission and distribution lines, which is a common practice for all utilities. Per City Council policy, the Electric Department builds and maintains mandatory clearances between the powerlines and stationary objects, including ground clearance, nearby structures, vegetation, and other powerline assets. Other types of objects (e.g., animals) can move into powerline assets, contacting lines, which can cause sparks, arcs, reliability issues, and safety issues. The City utilizes protection equipment that ultimately limit the time under which an object is in contact with an energized line (e.g., reclosers, fuses) which in turn limits the amount of energy that is flowed into that foreign object. These projection devices operate in very small fractions of a second, but even momentary contact with high voltage electrical equipment may be sufficient time and energy to result in sparks, arcs, or other form of fire ignition.

Vehicles contacting poles and anchors can cause a wide range of issues with electric utility equipment. Vehicle crashes can damage or destroy power poles. The shock of a vehicle-pole collision can shake all overhead equipment, creating additional weight-loading stress on crossarms, insulators, fasteners, etc., which can cause other utility fixtures to fail. Shaking can also cause powerlines phase-to-phase contacts. All of these possibilities can cause sparks, arcs, and wire down events, which can introduce a fire ignition source on nearby objects and vegetation.

Equipment Failure: All human-made objects can fail prior to the end of the equipment’s expected useful life. Structural failures; including breakage of poles, crossarms, hardware, etc.; can contribute to wildfire ignition through sparks, arc, or downed wires coming into contact with nearby vegetation or objects in or near the powerline right of way. Malfunctioning equipment may also contribute to wildfire ignition, particularly if protection equipment fails to operate as intended.

Wire to Wire Contact: Powerlines that come into contact with other energized lines can create fire ignition sources through sparks or arcs. Wire to wire contact can occur during strong weather events (e.g., wind gusts cause wires to slap together) or when poles shake (e.g., when poles or anchors are crashed into by vehicles).

Other: There are several direct and indirect modes under which the City’s electric assets can contribute to wildfire. The City could fall victim to a deliberate act of terrorism or vandalism that could cause damage to City electrical equipment leading to sparks, arcs, or downed wires, which can contribute to wildfire.

Electric department utilizes certified electrical line workers to carry out the daily operations of the City’s electric grid, including switching, construction, and maintenance activities. The City utilizes 20 experience tree management crews certified to work in close proximity of energized lines for vegetation management activities. Field personnel may contribute to wildfire ignition by virtue of working in the field, particularly if vehicles or equipment near vegetation where electric assets traverse open country. To manage this risk, City personnel are trained and are equipped with basic fire suppression tools. On high wind days, additional City personnel with wildland firefighting training and/or Firefighter 1 certifications accompany electric crews in the field for additional fire suppression expertise and capability.

4. OUTCOMES OF WILDFIRE RISKS
Any of the above risks have the potential to contribute to a catastrophic wildfire. Recent incidents around the State have demonstrated that such risks and outcomes could have the following adverse consequences:
• Loss of life and/or significant injury.
• Significant and widespread damage to public, private, and infrastructure property. • Long duration outages, or unreliable electric service. • Substantial expenditure of firefighting resources.
• Litigation and regulatory consequences.
• Damage to the City’s creditworthiness and/or ability to purchase insurance. • Loss of public trust.
• Bankruptcy.

5. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City operates with a work force of approximately 50 FTE, 10 of which are in the Electric Department. As a small organization, there is regular and frequent interaction and coordination amongst employees, including across departments. Electric Department employees are directly tasked with constructing and maintaining City electric assets and vegetation management in accordance with all applicable laws and regulation. All employees in the Animal Control Department are certified as wildland firefighters or higher, with training provided by the Shasta Lake Fire Protection District. The SLFPD Fire Chief regularly attends City department head meetings administered by the City Manager. Additional fire protection resources are provided under a Wildland Fire Protection Agreement executed by the City, SLFPD, and Cal Fire, with contract costs covered by the Electric Department.

Staff interactions focus on wildfire mitigation strategies and tactics. The objective of these ongoing coordinated efforts are to prioritize staff and financial resources to reduce the risk of wildfire ignition and to maximize wildfire suppression response should an ignition occur.

C. CHANGES TO CPUC FIRE THREAT MAP
21 The City does not recommend any changes to the CPUC statewide Fire Threat Map, adopted January 19, 2018, at this time. Future changes in the City’s knowledge or recommendations going forward will be communicated as required by statute. 22 V. WILDFIRE PREVENTATIVE STRATEGIES
A. HIGH FIRE THREAT DISTRICT
Personnel from the City’s Electric Department directly participated in the development of the California Public Utilities Commission’ s (CPUC) Fire-Threat Map,5 which designates a High-Fire Threat District. In the map development process, City staff worked with local fire officials to identify the areas of the City’s electric service territory that are at an elevated or extreme risk of power line ignited wildfire. The Electric Department has incorporated the High Fire Threat District into its construction, inspection, maintenance, repair, and clearance practices.

B. WEATHER MONITORING
The Electric Department monitors current and forecasted weather data from a variety of sources including:
• United States National Weather Service;
• United States Forest Service Wildland Fire Assessment System; • National Fire Danger Rating System;
• National Interagency Fire Center – Predictive Services for Northern and Southern California;
• Local weather data sources;
• Internal knowledge of local conditions; and
• Electric Department weather station at the City Corporation Yard.

Each work day, the Electric Operations Manager, or designee, shall review at least one weather data source and assign one of two operating conditions based on the relevant weather data and knowledge of local conditions, with the normal operation condition applied by default unless otherwise noted. Any Electric Department staff may review weather conditions for the applicable work day.
(1) Normal: During normal conditions, no changes are made to operations or work policy. (2) Extreme: During extreme fire-risk conditions, including Red Flag Warning (RFW) as declared by the National Weather Service, the Electric Department may delay routine work on energized primary lines (12.47 kV) as determined by the Electric Operations Manager or designee. The Electric Department may perform necessary work to preserve facilities or property and may preposition fire suppression personnel to sites with elevated risk of wildfire ignition. Extreme weather is defined as: weather phenomena that are at the extremes of the historical distribution and are rare for a particular place and/or time and/or RFW conditions.
5 Adopted by CPUC Decision 17-12-024.
23 The general procedure Electric Department staff shall follow for each work day designated “Extreme” is as follows. The Electric Utility Director may revise this procedure from time to time.

1. The Electric Operations Manager, or designee, shall assess weather conditions. If the workday is forecasted as a “Red Flag Warning” or similarly designated by a bona fide weather forecasting agency, the work day shall be designated as an “Extreme” weather event.

2. The Electric Operations Manager shall determine if any modifications of work assignments shall apply to Electric Department field personnel, including tree trimming crews directly managed by the Electric Department. Modifications may include but are not limited to: deferring routine work, standing down into emergency operations status (i.e., crews only respond to known electric-related events), reassign staff to patrol electric grid assets, etc.

3. The Electric Operations Manager shall provide further instructions to the Electric Leadworker, or designee, with instructions on any applicable work modifications that would apply during the extreme weather event.

4. The Electric Leadworker, or designee, shall inform all Electric Department field personnel of the “Extreme” weather designation and applicable work modifications in the day’s tailboard briefing. The tailboard briefing shall specify the scope of duties for all electric field personnel, general procedure in the event of wildfire or similar emergency, and additional safety protocols that are activated for the workday (such as equipping all vehicles with 5-gallon water packs).

5. All Electric Department employees present at the tailboard meeting shall sign to demonstrate their attendance and to acknowledge their understanding of the contents of the tailboard meeting.

6. The Electric Leadworker shall brief any additional City personnel who may be assigned to accompany Electric Department field personnel for the purpose of providing additional fire suppression capabilities. For example, Animal Control personnel are certified Wildland Firefighters and one vehicle may be equipped with a 125 gallon pumped fire suppression apparatus. The briefing may be included as part of the daily tailboard meeting, if the additional personnel are present, or at the job site. The briefing shall, at a minimum, include a description of the roles and responsibilities of electric vs. non-electric personnel, and safety procedures related to the deployment of firefighting equipment around electric assets.

C. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
The City’s electric facilities are designed and constructed to meet or exceed the relevant federal, state, or industry standard. The Electric Department treats CPUC General Order (GO) 95 as a guideline for minimum design and construction standards for overhead electrical facilities.

The Electric Department meets or exceeds guidelines in GO 95 and monitors and follows as appropriate the National Electric Safety Code. The Electric Department updates its construction standards from time to time.
24 D. VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
The Electric Department maintains a comprehensive Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) to establish and implement the standards for clearing vegetation around powerline assets, which meets or exceeds the statues and guidelines identified below, and updates the VMP from time to time as practices and technology evolve.

The City meets or exceeds the minimum industry standard vegetation management practices.

The Electric Department meets: (1) Public Resources Code section 4292; (2) Public Resources Code section 4293; (3) GO 95 Rule 35; and (4) the GO 95 Appendix E Guidelines to Rule 35.

These standards require significantly increased clearances in the High Fire Threat District. The time-of-trim guidelines do not establish a mandatory standard, but instead provide useful guidance to utilities. The Electric Department will use specific knowledge of growing conditions and tree species to determine the appropriate time of trim clearance in each circumstance.

E. INSPECTIONS
The Electric Department maintains a comprehensive Asset Inspection Plan (AIP) to establish and implement the standards for inspection and maintenance of City-owned powerline assets, which meets or exceeds the statues and guidelines identified below, and updates the AIP from time to time as practices and technology evolve.

The City meets or exceeds the minimum inspection guidelines provided in CPUC GO 165 and CPUC GO 95, Rule 18. Additionally, Electric Department staff use their knowledge of the specific environmental and geographical conditions to determine when areas outside of the High Fire Threat District require more frequent inspections.

If Electric Department staff discovers a facility in need of repair that is owned by an entity other than the City, Electric Department staff will issue a notice to repair to the facility owner to facilitate any necessary repairs.

F. WORKFORCE TRAINING
The Electric Department has implemented work rules and complementary training programs for its workforce to help reduce the likelihood of an ignition. All field staff will be: trained in the content of the WMP; trained in proper use and storage of fire extinguishers; required during prejob briefings to discuss: potential(s) for ignition, environmental conditions (current and forecasted weather that coincides with the duration of work for the day); and to identify the closest fire extinguisher.

Any ignition will be reported to the Electric Director for follow-up.

G. RECLOSER POLICY
25 For this first iteration of the WMP, the City will disable automatic reclosing functions on all substation and field reclosers from May 1 through November 30, or as otherwise determined necessary by the Electric Director.

H. DEENERGIZATION
The City will continue its long-standing practice to deenergize its electric system when directed to by personnel from fire, law enforcement, or other emergency responding agencies. The City generally will not proactively deenergize its electric system during high fire threat periods based on the following:
• The City’s electric service territory is approximately 11 square miles, with local fire response located centrally within this area;
• De-energizing the City’s electric system could put the community at higher risk to wildfire due to its potential impact to the City’s water supply, including all water supplied to City fire hydrants, potential for increased call volume and subsequent impact to law enforcement and fire agencies, and changes in human activity during power outages that could increase the opportunity for fire;
• The City has fully deployed Advanced Metering Infrastructure and SCADA systems on its electric infrastructure which enables staff to monitor, assess, and act upon system events remotely in real-time;
• The City plans to gather real-time information from field personnel patrolling areas with higher fire risk and may preposition fire suppression assets with electric field crews

1. IMPACTS TO PUBLIC SAFETY
Proactively deenergizing the City’s electric grid is expected to impact Law Enforcement and Fire Response agencies differently. Such outages are not expected to have a significant impact to local Law Enforcement as the local resources may draw from the larger resource pool of the Shasta County Sherriff’s Office, which also serves as the Shasta County Emergency Operation Center (EOC). Local buildings are equipped with backup generators that have performed reliably in recent unplanned power outage events. Law Enforcement officials do not expect prolonged and geographically extensive power outages to impact their communications, availability of personnel, equipment usage, or response time to call volume.

Widespread (i.e., city-wide, region-wide) and prolonged (i.e., PSPS events lasting 2-7 days) power outages are expected to have significant adverse impact to local Fire Response operations. Fire representatives note that the City of Shasta Lake has a disproportionately large population of people who rely on life-sustaining, electricity-dependent medical equipment and note that calls for services received under normal circumstances regularly include people from this population. During past power outage events, call volume increases markedly for Fire personnel and commits local resources to provide medical aid. Once on scene, Fire Response personnel cannot leave a patient in medical need unless relieved by other qualified personnel.

Such increases in medical-related service calls served by Fire Response personnel will compete 26 for resources with fire-related service calls, suggesting that proactive power shutoffs will significantly and adversely diminish local Fire Response capabilities to combat wildfires should one start during a proactive power shutoff (recall that 90% of wildfires are caused by ignition sources other than powerline issues).

2. CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION PROTOCOLS
In the event of a planned outage (i.e., knowledge of the outage at least 24-hours in advance), the City shall contact impacted customers by phone, email, or in person to inform affected customers, if known, the projected start and end time of the outage. In the event of an unplanned outage or an outage event that impacts a broad set of customers, the City shall notify customers via social media and website communication platforms to provide updates on impacted areas, number of customers impacted, and restoration times, if known. 27 VI. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PUBLIC AWARENESS
The City of Shasta Lake is a publicly owned electric utility and maintains extensive relationships across all organizations in the community, including public safety agencies that lead emergency response efforts within the City. City management maintains constant contact with local law enforcement and fire agencies, including the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) and the Shasta Lake Fire Protection District (SLFPD). SCSO provides law enforcement services to the City by a contract arrangement, and the City provides a Sheriff substation that is centrally located within the City. The Sheriff substation commander reports directly to the City Manager. The City regularly collaborates with SLFPD through various forums, including a newly formed “Community Emergency Preparedness” committee, and the City recently agreed to help fund a new full-time SLFPD Fire Prevention Officer who reports directly to the Fire Chief and will be responsible for all fire prevention, fire safety, and education activities in the SLFPD boundaries. The SLFPD Fire Prevention Officer’s primary duties include enforcement of state and local fire prevention regulations, coordinate with the City building official and code enforcement staff for fire code enforcement activities, and conduct fire prevention inspections, among other duties.

The public has the opportunity to engage the elected governing body of the City of Shasta Lake at each City Council meeting. All City Council meetings are publicly agendized and regularly scheduled meetings are televised and local television and available via the City’s website. All members of the public have an opportunity to address the City Council during public comment periods.

The City is active in the community offering support to a number of local non-profit organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, and a number of community events, such as:

Boomtown Festival, Veterans’ Day Parade, and the Big Idea Science Bowl held at Shasta Dam.

The City staffs booths to engage the public in discussions on energy, water, wastewater, public safety, wildfire prevention and preparedness, and the City’s overall efforts to promote public safety.

VII. RESTORATION OF SERVICE
Power restoration generally follows the same protocol regardless of cause, but exact steps and order of restoring service depends on specific details of the outage event. Restoration of service begins with manual patrols of the affected portions of the system before any circuits are reenergized. Suspect equipment or distribution assets that cannot be patrolled will remain deenergized. System performance, outage intelligence, and system abnormalities will be monitored via the City’s SCADA system and its AMI system. 28 VIII. EVALUATING OF THE PLAN
A. METRICS AND ASSUMPTIONS FOR MEASURING PLAN PERFORMANCE The City will track two metrics to measure the performance of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan: (1) number of fire ignitions; and (2) transmission and primary distribution wires down within the service territory.

METRIC 1: FIRE IGNITIONS
For purposes of this metric, a fire ignition is defined as follows:
• City electric facility was associated with the fire;
• The fire was self-propagating and of a material other than electrical and/or communication facilities;
• The resulting fire traveled greater than one linear meter from the ignition point; and • City has knowledge that the fire occurred.

In future WMPs, the City will provide the number of fires that occurred that were less than 10 acres in size. Any fires greater than 10 acres will be individually described.

METRIC 2: WIRES DOWN
The second metric is the number of distribution and transmission wires downed within the City’s electric service territory. For purposes of this metric, a wires down event includes any instance where an electric transmission (i.e., 115,000 volt) or primary distribution conductor (i.e., 12,000 volt) falls to the ground or on to a foreign object. The City will divide the wires down metric between wires down inside and outside of the High Fire Threat area (i.e., Tiers 2 and 3 vs. Tier 1, respectively).

The City will not normalize this metric by excluding unusual events, such as severe storms.

Instead, the City will supplement this metric with a qualitative description of any such unusual events.

B. IMPACT OF METRICS ON PLAN
The City anticipates that there will be relatively limited data gathered through these metrics, particularly in the initial years. Therefore, it will be difficult to drawn meaningful conclusions based on this data. The City will evaluate modifying these metrics or adding additional metrics in future years.
29 C. MONITORING AND AUDITING THE PLAN
This Wildfire Mitigation Plan is subject to review by the City of Shasta Lake City Council. Electric department staff will present this Plan to the City Council on an annual basis. Additionally, a qualified independent evaluator will present a report on this Plan to the City Council.

D. IDENTIFYING AND CORRECTING DEFICIENCIES IN THE PLAN
Staff will have the role of evaluating current practices and procedures and recommending changes or enhancement to improve the Wildfire Mitigation Plan. If for unforeseen circumstances, regulatory changes, new technologies, or any other reason, any deficiencies of this WMP will be presented to the City Council in the form of an updated WMP at least on an annual basis.

The Electric Utility Director, or designee, will be responsible for presenting corrections of any deficiencies, if any, to the City Council for consideration.

E. MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSPECTIONS,
The City utilizes General orders 95 and 165 (GO95 and GO165, respectively) as its guide to inspect its system. Field staff routinely patrol the service territory and correct deficiencies as they are encountered. The City tracks deficiencies that are repaired upon discovery within its maintenance software, “Partner,” consistent with the guidelines of GO95 and GO165.

Deficiencies that cannot be repaired immediately are assigned into one of two possible categories:, “attention needed” or 2 ”immediate attention needed,” with the discovery and remedy tracked in Partner.
30 IX. INDEPENDENT EVALUATOR
Public Utilities Code section 8387(c) requires the City to contract with a qualified independent evaluator with experience in assessing the safe operation of electrical infrastructure to review and assess the comprehensiveness of this Wildfire Mitigation Plan. The independent evaluator must issue a report that is posted to the City’s website. This report must also be presented to the City Council at a public meeting.

The City will utilize a process consistent with the City’s purchasing policies. Consideration will be given to the evaluator’s relevant industry experience, similar work for other municipally owned utilities or special districts, expertise and experience in line construction and maintenance, responsiveness, and familiarity with relevant California statutes, regulations, and operational guidelines.

The City will seek an independent evaluator following the approval of the initial Wildfire Mitigation Plan, or as a time determined by the City Council, after independent evaluators become available. Staff anticipates retaining an evaluator and having the evaluator’s findings available prior to the second iteration of the City’s WMP. 31 ASSEST INSPECTION
PLAN
32 Overview
The City of Shasta Lake voluntarily follows the guidelines for inspection of electric facilities set forth by the CPUC in General Order 165. The exception to this General Order is that the City of Shasta Lake does not report directly to the CPUC.

The City Council for the City of Shasta Lake is the governing body for the Electric Department.

Inspection Intervals
The City of Shasta Lake does two patrols annually of the 115KV transmission lines.

The patrols are to inspect the line and make sure vegetation management goals are being met. The 12KV distribution lines are patrolled once a year to inspect line and make sure vegetation management goals are being met. All detailed and intrusive inspections on the 12KV and 115KV lines are done more frequent than the recommended requirement, but at no specific interval. These inspections are documented in our Distribution Inspection Software (Partner).

Maintenance Documentation
The Electric Department uses a maintenance monitoring system, Distribution Inspection Software (Partner). Using Partner, the City logs the condition of its transmission and distribution equipment. Updates can be logged by City personnel while in the field. Partner allows supporting information, such as photos or other attachments, to be attached to individual assets. All operations personnel can access this information in real time while connected to the data network.

Partner allows the department to assign work to field personnel from the application user interface. When work is completed a reinspection occurs documenting what repairs/replacement of equipment was performed.

As of 2019, all intrusive pole inspections are done by an IML pole tester. This gives the department much more detailed information on the integrity of the pole and the degradation of the pole is logged.

The firethreat map is to be used to establish approximate boundaries and Utilities should use their own expertise and judgment to determine if local conditions require them to adjust the boundaries of the map.

Note: This General Order does not apply to cathodic protection systems associated with natural gas facilities.

Note: For the purpose of implementing the patrol and detailed inspection intervals in Table 1 above, the term “year” is defined as 12 consecutive calendar months starting the first full calendar month after an inspection is performed, plus or minus two full calendar months, not to exceed the end of the calendar year in which the next inspection is due. 37 VEGETATION

MANAGEMENT
PLAN
38 Vegetation Management
To deliver your electricity safely and reliably, the City of Shasta Lake follows a regular schedule for inspecting and trimming more than 60 miles of distribution lines and 15 miles of transmission lines in our service area. Throughout the year, the City will clear vegetation away from power lines, poles and transformers to reduce the chance of power outages. An annual tree trimming contract with contractors takes care of routine trimming and electric crews/contractors take care of emergency/dangerous trees. It is important to note that the City of Shasta Lake does not provide tree trimming services for electrical service connected to your home. Should trees near your service line require trimming, you or your tree trimming service may call the City to de-energize the lines before the project begins. There is no charge for this service.

Inspections
To maintain a reliable system, the City of Shasta Lake crews inspect all lines for vegetation issues at least once a year. This entails driving/walking the entire system and noting any issues to address such as lack of clearance or dead trees that pose a risk to the electric lines.

Tree Pruning
To maintain the reliability of the electrical system, the City generally needs 12 feet of space between tree canopies and overhead distribution power lines. But for fast-growing trees such as mulberry or eucalyptus, the City may need as much as 20 feet of clearance to prevent power outages. For transmission lines the City tries to keep the vegetation directly below to a minimum, and keep all trees cleared back a minimum of 20 feet.

Directional pruning
The City removes only branches that conflict with power lines. The City uses a technique called directional pruning to redirect a tree’s growth away from the lines. This technique is recommended by the International Society of Arboriculture, the American National Standards Institute and the National Arbor Day Foundation.

The City will remove entire branches where they attach to the main trunk of the tree. This technique helps protect the tree from disease and insects.

Sometimes the situation requires pruning only one side of the tree, pruning one side more than the other, or pruning just the middle of the tree. These variations are known as side pruning or “V pruning.” Trees may appear unbalanced at first, but a healthy tree will cope with the changes, and its appearance will soften over time.

Tree removal
The City cannot use direction pruning on some trees, such as redwoods or palms, because they grow straight up from a so-called central leader. When these trees are planted under power lines, the City must cut back the crown or remove the tree.

The City will remove trees to protect your property from potential hazards and to prevent tree-related power outages.

If the City has a need to remove a tree on your property because of a potentially hazardous situation, the City will contact you ahead of time. The City will not charge you for the removal. 39 Vines
Vines growing on utility poles pose a danger to line workers and the public. If the vines grow into the high voltage wires, they can conduct electricity to the ground. They also pose a climbing hazard for any line worker performing maintenance on electric, phone or cable lines. The City will remove vines from poles during each routine treetrimming cycle. You can help by keeping vines from growing near poles.

Ground-level Equipment
The City asks that you avoid planting any kind of vegetation within 8 feet of our green metal boxes that contain padmounted equipment. Please don’t let any invasive plants grow over the top of the equipment, which can prevent us from opening the door. For the safety of our line workers, the City will need to remove any vegetation that poses a hazard. Keeping the space around this equipment clear has the added benefit of allowing the City of Shasta Lake Electric crews to restore power to you and your neighbors more quickly during an outage.

Herbicide Management
General
The full width of the established right of way should be treated with selective herbicide spraying to control woody‐type “trees” and “brush”. All vines on poles, guy wires and overhead stub poles should be treated on entire circuit. All equipment, herbicides, personnel, and materials necessary to perform the work shall be supplied by the contractor.

Contractor employees involved in the application of herbicides and/or adjuvants must have all federal, state and local licenses, certificates and permits that are required by law. A licensed commercial pesticide applicator (MS) shall always be present on the job. In the event the property owners object to herbicide treatment of undesirable tree or brush species, the work shall be postponed for that area. Such problems shall be reported to City of Shasta Lake immediately. Contractors shall be responsible for any off right of way and/or chemical drift type damages. Contractors are fully responsible for proper disposal of all chemicals and containers. Contractors shall be responsible for locating sensitive and/or restricted non‐vegetative right of way areas where herbicides, as specified on the manufacturer’s label, should not be applied. All herbicide mixtures and formulations will be applied according to label directions and/or to manufacturers’ recommendations. Under no circumstances shall herbicides be applied at rates exceeding label recommendations. Herbicides to be used shall be selected only from those labeled specifically for use on utility rights of ways.

Wetlands
Only a wetland approved herbicide may be used when spraying within 20’ of a stream, river, pond, lake, or wetlands area. Under no circumstances shall any herbicide (wetlands approved or otherwise) be sprayed directly over water where no vegetation exists. Contractor shall not clean equipment, tanks, hoses, or other materials related to herbicide applications in streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, or wetland areas.

Documentation
Contractor shall provide City of Shasta Lake herbicide reports of all applications. Reports shall contain the following information: the location of herbicide application, the date applied, the amount applied, the name of each herbicide being applied and the name of the certified applicator. 40 Transmission Rights of Way and Integrated Vegetation Management
Vegetation Management of Transmission Rights-of-Way
The City of Shasta Lake Electric Department utilizes a program of Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) to manage vegetation on transmission rights-of-ways. Properly maintained right-of-way’s (ROW) are essential for the safety of the public and our workers. The long-term goal of our vegetation management program is to provide for public safety, worker safety, and environmental safety while providing for reliable service.

Integrated Vegetation Management
The first step to creating a low growing plant community is to clear rights-of-way of tall growing and incompatible plant species. This is typically accomplished either mechanically or manually. Cutting or mowing alone is ineffective because it encourages the biological response of re-sprouting. After clearing, right-of-way’s are monitored for resprouting and reinvasion by incompatible vegetation. Once this occurs, the right-of-way will be enhanced through various methods to provide the desired outcome of a low growing plant community. Many factors are considered before an appropriate method is chosen and implemented.

The Wire Zone Border Zone
The Wire Zone consists of low-growing shrub and grass communities directly under the transmission wires plus approximately 15’ on both sides. The Border Zone, which is the portion of the right-of-way that extends from 10’ outside of the wire to the edge of the ROW, is managed for taller shrubs, and brush plant community. This is the transition zone between the low-growing vegetation and taller. 41 Laws and Regulations
The City of Shasta Lake Electric Department is a California-based utility that follows the guidelines set forth by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The City of Shasta Lake Electric Department will obtain a reasonable amount of clearance beyond the minimum requirements to allow for several years’ worth of growth, potential wind sway and other environmental factors. Distance obtained from the line after a pruning cycle may be more than 20 feet for fast growing species such as a mulberry or eucalyptus trees along distribution lines and for high voltage transmission lines 4 years or 40 feet of clearance is required.

There are rules and regulations designed to ensure public safety and electric service reliability. Major regulations covering vegetation management include:
• Public Resource Code 4292: Firebreak Clearing
Utilities are required to maintain firebreaks around poles located in wild land areas during fire season that have certain equipment with the potential to emit sparks when operating properly. • Public Resource Code 4293: State Responsibility
Utilities are required to maintain clearance between vegetation and high voltage power lines during fire season in wild land areas to prevent wild fires. Also requires removal of dead, diseased or dying trees that could fall into power lines. • General Order 95: Utility Vegetation Management Requirements Utilities are required to maintain clearance between vegetation and high voltage power lines at all times in all areas for public safety and electric system reliability.
42 • North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) Standard FAC-003-1: Transmission Vegetation Management Standard
FAC-003-1 is a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) mandated standard, enforced by NERC which requires utilities to take preventative action to reduce widespread outages caused by vegetation conflicts on critical electric transmission lines over 60,000 volts. Utilities must have a formal vegetation management program that meets specific standards and maintains required clearances between vegetation and transmission electric facilities at all times in all conditions.

Public Resource Code, Section 4292: Power Line Hazard Reduction Except as otherwise provided in Section 4296, any person that owns, controls, operates, or maintains any electrical transmission or distribution line upon any mountainous land, or forest-covered land, brush-covered land, or grasscovered land shall, during such times and in such areas as are determined to be necessary by the director or the agency which has primary responsibility for fire protection of such areas, maintain around and adjacent to any pole or tower which supports a switch, fuse, transformer, lightning arrester, line junction, or dead end or corner pole, a firebreak which consists of a clearing of not less than 10 feet in each direction from the outer circumference of such pole or tower. This section does not, however, apply to any line which is used exclusively as telephone, telegraph, telephone or telegraph messenger call, fire or alarm line, or other line which is classed as a communication circuit by the Public Utilities Commission. The director or the agency which has primary fire protection responsibility for the protection of such areas may permit exceptions from the requirements of this section which are based upon the specific circumstances involved.

Section 1254 - Minimum Clearance Provisions
The firebreak clearances required by PRC 4292 are applicable within an imaginary cylindrical space surrounding each pole or tower on which a switch, fuse, transformer or lightning arrester is attached and surrounding each deadend or corner pole, unless such pole or tower is exempt from minimum clearance requirements by provisions of 14, CCR, 1255 or PRC 4296. The radius of the cylindroid is 3.1 m (10 feet) measured horizontally from the outer circumference of the specified pole or tower with height equal to the distance from the intersection of the imaginary vertical exterior surface of the cylindroid with the ground to an intersection with a horizontal plane passing through the highest point at which a conductor is attached to such pole or tower. Flammable vegetation and materials located wholly or partially within the firebreak space shall be treated as follows:
• (a) At ground level - remove flammable materials, including but not limited to, ground litter, duff and dead or desiccated vegetation that will propagate fire, and;
• (b) From 0 - 2.4 m (0-8 feet) above ground level remove flammable trash, debris or other materials, grass, herbaceous and brush vegetation. All limbs and foliage of living trees shall be removed up to a height of 2.4 m (8 feet).
• (c) From 2.4 m (8 feet) to horizontal plane of highest point of conductor attachment remove dead, diseased or dying limbs and foliage from living sound trees and any dead, diseased or dying trees in their entirety.

Figure 1: Graphical representation of Section 1254 showing the minimum clearances required around a utility pole. 43 Public Resource Code, Section 4293: Line Clearance Guidelines Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4294 to 4296, inclusive, any person that owns, controls, operates, or maintains any electrical transmission or distribution line upon any mountainous land, or in forest-covered land, brushcovered land, or grass-covered land shall, during such times and in such areas as are determined to be necessary by the director or the agency which has primary responsibility for the fire protection of such areas, maintain a clearance of the respective distances which are specified in this section in all directions between all vegetation and all conductors which are carrying electric current:
• (a) For any line which is operating at 2,400 or more volts, but less than 72,000 volts, four feet. • (b) For any line which is operating at 72,000 or more volts, but less than 110,000 volts, six feet. • (c) For any line which is operating at 110,000 or more volts, 10 feet.

In every case, such distance shall be sufficiently great to furnish the required clearance at any position of the wire, or conductor when the adjacent air temperature is 120 degrees Fahrenheit, or less. Dead trees, old decadent or rotten trees, trees weakened by decay or disease and trees or portions thereof that are leaning toward the line which may contact the line from the side or may fall on the line shall be felled, cut, or pruned so as to remove such hazard. The director or the agency which has primary responsibility for the fire protection of such areas may permit exceptions from the requirements of this section which are based upon the specific circumstances involved.

General Order 95, Rule 35: Tree Pruning
Where overhead wires pass through trees, safety and reliability of service demand that tree pruning be done in order that the wires may clear branches and foliage by a reasonable distance. The minimum clearances established in 44 Table 1, Case 13, measured between line conductors and vegetation under normal conditions, shall be maintained. (Also see Appendix E for tree pruning guidelines.)
When a utility has actual knowledge, obtained either through normal operating practices or notification to the utility, dead, rotten and diseased trees or portions thereof, that overhang or lean toward and may fall into a span, should be removed.

Communication and electric supply circuits, energized at 750 volts or less, including their service drops, should be kept clear of limbs and foliage, in new construction and when circuits are reconstructed or repaired, whenever practicable. When a utility has actual knowledge, obtained either through normal operating practices or notification to the utility, that any circuit energized at 750 volts or less shows strain or evidences abrasion form tree contact, the condition shall be corrected by slacking or rearranging the line, pruning the tree or placing mechanical protection or the conductor(s).

EXCEPTIONS:

1. Rule 35 requirements do not apply to conductors, or aerial cable that complies with Rule 57.4-C, energized at less than 60,000 volts, where pruning or removal is not practicable, and the conductor is separated from the tree with suitable materials or devices to avoid conductor damage by abrasion and grounding of the circuit through the tree.

2. Rule 35 requirements do not apply where the utility has made a "good faith" effort to obtain permission to prune or remove vegetation but permission was refused or unobtainable. A "good faith" effort shall consist of current documentation of a minimum of an attempted personal contact and a written communication, including documentation of mailing or delivery. However, this does not preclude other action or actions from demonstrating "good faith". If permission to prune or remove vegetation is unobtainable and requirements of exception 2 are met, the utility is not compelled to comply with the requirements of exception 1.

3. The Commission recognizes that unusual circumstances beyond the control of the utility may result in nonconformance with the rules. In such cases, the utility may be directed by the Commission to take prompt remedial action to come into conformance, whether or not the nonconformance gives rise to penalties or is alleged to fall within permitted exceptions or phase-in requirements.

Note: Revised November 6,1992, by Resolution No. SU-15, September 20, 1996, by Decision No. 96-09- 097 and January 29, 1997, by Decision No. 97-01-044.

4. Mature trees whose trunks and major limbs are located more than six inches, but less than 18 inches, from primary distribution conductors are exempt from the 19-inch minimum clearance requirement under this rule.

The trunks and limbs to which this exemption applies shall only be those of sufficient strength and rigidity to prevent the trunk or limb from encroaching upon the six-inch minimum clearance under reasonable, foreseeable local wind and weather conditions. The utility shall bear the risk of determining whether this exemption applies, and the Commission shall have the final authority to determine whether the exemption applies in any specific instance, and to order hat corrective action be taken in accordance with this rule, if it determines that the exemption does not apply.

Note: Added October 22, 1997, by Decision No. 97-10-056.

Appendix E
The following are guidelines to Rule 35.

The radial clearances shown below are minimum clearances that should be established, at time of pruning, between the vegetation and the energized conductors and associated live parts where practicable.

Vegetation management practices may make it advantageous to obtain greater clearances than those listed below:

A. Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 2,400 or more volts, but less than 72,000 volts 4 feet B. Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 72,000 or more volts, but less than 110,000 volts 6 feet 45 C. Radial clearances for any conductor of a line operating at 110,000 or more volts, but less than 300,000 volts 10 feet

46 SHASTA LAKE ELECTRIC UTILITY TREE

PLANTING GUIDELINES FOR NEW

DEVELOPMENT
• OVERHEAD ELECTRIC LINES
New trees less than 20 feet from overhead high voltage lines (12000 Volts) should be selected to have a height of 25 feet or less when fully grown. Ground separation distances may need to be increased for trees of larger canopy to maintain 10 feet of safe clearance from limbs at all times.

TREE SELECTOR WEBSITE: http://selectree.calpoly.edu
• UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC LINES
Adequate room to operate electrical equipment is important to the reliability of the electric service and for the linemen to work safely. The linemen use long 8 foot fiberglass sticks to operate the equipment live when trouble is found or when system maintenance is required.

Planting near Pad Mounted Transformers
-10 feet of clearance is needed on transformer front
-3 feet on back and sides
47 NOTE: Pad mounted switches (PME/PMH style etc.) require 10 feet on both front and back to operate. Underground utility high voltage electric boxes/vaults should be located 10 feet from trees to avoid root damage and provide appropriate access. 48 WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN

Performance Report
City of Shasta Lake | 2021
January 19, 2022
Purpose & Motivation
The purpose of this document is to summarize the City’s performance under its Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP). Under Section VIII.A of the WMP, approved on February 16, 2021 by City Council Resolution CC-21-09, the City measures its performance under its WMP using the following metrics:

Metric #1: Number of fire ignitions, as defined in the WMP, with an individual description for each fire greater than 10 acres, if any, and Metric #2: Number of primary distribution and transmission wires downed within the City’s electric service territory.

Reporting Period
This WMP Performance Report describes reportable events from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

Performance Report Summary
During the Reporting Period, the City had the following reportable events:

FIRE IGNITIONS Number of Occurrences
10 acres or greater 0
Less than 10 acres 0
TOTAL FIRE IGNITIONS 0
WIRES DOWNED Number of Occurrences
Tier 1 Area 0
Tier 2 Area 1
Tier 3 Area 0
TOTAL WIRES DOWNED 1
50 Metric #1: Fire Ignitions
Part A: Fires Greater than 10 Acres in Size
There were zero Fire Ignitions that resulted in a fire greater than 10 acres during the Reporting Period.

Part B: Number of Fires Less than 10 Acres in Size
There were zero Fire Ignition that resulted in fires less than 10 acres in size during the Reporting Period.

Supplemental Information:

Description
3/26/21 Cedar St. 2 1 Primary 33 107 High winds caused a branch to break off a tree that is over 50 feet away from the City’s powerlines. When the branch broke, it hinged into the City’s primary voltage powerline causing the crossarm to fail and resulted in a wire down event.

Supplemental Information:

This portion of the City’s grid is protected by the “current limiting, non-expulsion fuses,” which were deployed as fire mitigation measures. These are Cal Fire approved for use in areas of elevated fire risk and are fast-acting devices that reduce fire ignition potential in two ways: they stop electricity flow much faster than traditional fusing equipment and they do so without the potential of sparks. The tree that caused this outage is scheduled for additional trimming and treatment this year. 52 53

From: Will Bond, City Engineer/Public Works Director
Date: January 11, 2022
Subject: 2020-2021 SSMP Performance Review/ Audit
This memorandum summarizes the performance of the City of Shasta Lake’s Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP) for the time period between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021. The SSMP requires an external audit every 5 years, which last occurred in 2020. The purpose of the SSMP is to provide a written framework for the management, operation, and maintenance programs executed by the City, with the ultimate goal of maintaining the level of service of the sewer collection system while minimizing sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). This review is completed as part of the required bi-annual audit process described in Section X of the City’s SSMP. This process helps the SSMP document to evolve over time to address identified deficiencies in the management, operation and maintenance of the sewer collection system. This memorandum summarizes and or/provides the following information:

1. SSO history, describing the number and nature of SSOs over the past two years (see attachment 2).

2. Summary of progress made implementing SSMP elements which have a plan and schedule for full implementation.

3. Summary of the effectiveness of the implemented SSMP elements based on SSMP biannual audit checklist.

4. Summary of proposed SSMP modifications (i.e. new programs, new performance indicators, etc.) not tied to poor performance, but tied to a desire to change or increase the scope of management, operations, and maintenance activities.

1. SSO History
SSOs are categorized by the State of California as follows:

SSO Category 1 – Spills that reach a surface water.

SSO Category 2 – Spills that do not reach a surface water and are greater than or equal to 1,000 gallons.

SSO Category 3 – Spills that do not reach a surface water and are less than 1,000 gallons.

The City experienced five (5) SSOs in the collection system during the period between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021. A summary follows; Detailed spill reports are included in Attachment 2. 65 2. SSMP Element Implementation Progress

3. Proposed SSMP Modifications
Based upon the results of this internal SSMP audit, only modifications of Element II (Organization) within the SSMP are required at this time.

However, the SSMP is required to undergo an external overview audit every five years. In 2019, this external overview audit was completed by Causey Consulting (associated with the City’s insurance group (SCORE) and several modifications were recommended. These changes were made and adopted in August of 2020. The next internal audit will be in 2024 and the next external overview audit will be completed in 2025.

Conclusion
The City of Shasta Lake is currently in compliance with all of the SSMP requirements as described in subsection D.13 of the GWDR.

Each individual SSO report contains the data related to one specific location where sewage discharged from the sanitary sewer system due to a failure (e.g., sewer pipe blockage or pump failure). A single failure within a sanitary sewer system can result in multiple sewage discharge locations and, thus, multiple SSO reports. For example, a lift station power failure can result in sewage being discharged from numerous manholes. In this example, a SSO report would be submitted for each manhole that discharged sewage with all reports sharing the same failure or cause data.

It is important to review SSO reports in detail to determine if individual sewage discharge locations share a common underlying failure or cause when assessing the performance of Enrollees and their sanitary sewer systems through SSO events. This is because it is the failures that are the ultimate problem which the Enrollees should be making all reasonable efforts to prevent.

The search results below present summary data for all sewage discharge locations, as submitted through individual SSO reports, which meet the search criteria selected. To determine if SSO reports relate to a common failure within the sanitary sewer system, the SSO reports should be reviewed in detail by selecting the specific “agency” or “collection sys” name from the table below.

The “agency”, or Enrollee, listed on a SSO report is responsible for the sewage discharge described and should be contacted directly for questions related to that incident.

The current report was generated with real-time data entered by Enrollees.

Dear Ms. Coates
I would like to be reappointed to serve for another 4 year term as a Planning Commissioner for the City of Shasta Lake.

I was initially appointed to fill the term remaining, due to a vacancy on the Board, beginning in February 2017 ending in 2018. At the end of that term, I was appointed to a 4 year term. During my four year tenure, I served as Chairman of the Board and attended my first Planning Commissioner’s seminar in Sacramento just prior to the outbreak of Covid 19.

Being a Commissioner is a continuous learning experience as the laws and regulations present never-ending change. During my term of office, our Commission reviewed the remaining segments of the General Plan in depth and we just completed the last portion. The entire proposal will now be sent with our reviewals on to the City Council, which in turn will be submitting the GP to the public for review and comments. This is a major project and so important to the development of our city as its guidelines are for the next 20 years.

During this same time, the Commission was presented with numerous permits and approval of new developments - both residential and commercial, as well as, reviewing existing property adjustments to best serve the needs of our citizens.

I am still involved in the community at large serving as the President on the Shasta Lake Historical Society Board, Parliamentarian for the Shasta Lake Garden Project, a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, a member of St.Michael Catholic Church Guild and volunteer to the Shasta Damboree committee and others.

I am seeking to serve another term as Planning Commissioner because I love our city, the people in it and I am sincerely interested in its development. I do not take this responsibility lightly and believe my compassion, historical knowledge and commitment to service will continue to serve the Planning Commission well.

Thank you,
Darlene V. Brown

Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor and City Council Members,
I would like to start off by speaking about the wonderful experience I have had while residing in the seat of Planning Commissioner for the past year.

Being a voice of the people and a vessel to help bring change in the building our community has been a promising and rewarding opportunity.

My involvement in Shasta Lake City is close to my heart, as I am a member of this community and I would like to continue this journey with the city into the future.

This letter serves as a express of intent to continue to fill the seat for the duration of the new terms. I greatly appreciate your consideration of me for this position.

Thank you for your time and attention,
Tena Eisenbeisz
Planning Commissioner

I would like to serve for another term on the Shasta Lake Planning Commission. I have enjoyed my time on the Planning Commission. I have learned quite a bit about the function and importance of the Planning Commission in the function of city government. I am excited to continue to be a part of growth and development of the city. I look forward to helping in any way I can in the position of Planning Commissioner.

Hi Toni,
It was great to speak to you and I am thrilled there is still an opportunity to participate on the advisory commission!
I moved to Shasta Lake City from Manteca in November. After retiring from a high stress position at Livermore National Security Lab for nearly 30 years. I am really loving my new community. Shasta Lake has wonderful people and I have been able to become involved with the Damboree as the treasurer and the Garden Project as the communications secretary. My passion is Parks and Paths, I want to be a part in making this community even more beautiful than it already is and more opportunities for people and dogs of all ages to get out and enjoy the city.

I look forward to meeting you and Whitney in person and working with you all in the future.

Thanks,
Jennifer Greenwood

Web Address www.cityofshastalake.org
A. History
The population in the City of Shasta Lake area increased from about 100 people in 1938 to about 2,600 people in 1945 due to the construction of Shasta Dam.

The City of Shasta Lake water system was, in essence, created in 1945 by the establishment of the Shasta Dam Public Utility District (SDAPUD) that was organized to serve the unincorporated communities of Central Valley, Project City, and Pine Grove. The initial water system improvements were financed by private loans and bonds in 1947 and by the purchase agreement with Central Valley Water Company to lease purchase their existing distribution facilities. A long-term (40 years) water contract was signed in 1948 with the USBR. In 1954, the United States Bureau of Reclamation replaced the 10-inch spiral steel line constructed in 1947 with 9,470 feet of 16-inch and 4,830 feet of 14-inch steel line. This also included increasing pump capacity and storage at the Reclamation Dam facilities. At the same time, a 6-inch line was also extended to serve the area then known as Buckeye County Water District (City of Redding).

In 1966 SDAPUD constructed a 2.0 MGD filtration plant approximately one mile northwest of Central Valley, just above the Toyon Government Camp. Capacity improvements to this plant occurred over the next 24 years until 1990 when the new treatment plant at Fisherman’s Point replaced the old facility. In 1978, the SDAPUD annexed the Summit City PUD, and acquired its

1.0 MGD water filtration plant, transmission, and distribution facilities. Additional improvements to the distribution and storage facilities were implemented by the SDAPUD until 1993 when the City of Shasta Lake was created and acquired control of the water system.

B. Location and Facilities
The City of Shasta Lake’s water supply is surface water conveyed from Shasta Lake. The diversion point is at the face of Shasta Dam, where there are two intakes at elevation 754 and 960 feet above sea level. The coordinates are (T33N, R5W, 15). Raw water is pumped from the Dam to the City’s Water Treatment Facilities via the USBR Raw Water Pumping Station located at the base of Shasta Dam.

The distribution system contains approximately 79 miles of pipelines. The system consists of steel, cast iron, asbestos cement, and polyvinyl chloride piping. Most of the steel piping is pre-1960 vintage with a large portion of smaller diameter mains (less than 5-inch in diameter) being installed prior to 1950. There are approximately 42,240 feet of undersized steel pipe over 50 years old that are in need of replacement.

In 2017, the City completed follow-up hydraulic modeling involving the withdrawal of additional water from Shasta Dam to support the City’s request for approval of the MCM and ACID long-term transfer agreements. This modeling work proved, under every withdrawal scenario, that the City’s withdrawal of water at the current intake locations within Shasta Dam had no effect on the Shasta Lake CWP or Sacramento River temperatures and that USBR’s 2007/2008 modeling effort was in error by orders of 117
magnitude. On August 21, 2017, these results were sent to USBR, along with a request for full approval of the existing long-term water transfer agreement between the City and MCM and between the City and ACID.

In 2019, USBR issued a Finding of No Significant Impact in response to the City’s request; however, despite this environmental finding and the City’s request for longterm approval of the transfer, the City was granted only short-term approval of the ACID transfer agreement. This approval will expire in October 2023. As a result of this approval, the City purchased and used 1,500 AF in 2020. The City is currently in the process of negotiating approval through 2045 with the USBR.

USBR has not approved the MCM transfer agreement to date.

8. Proposed changes or additions to facilities and operations for the next 5 years.

There are no expected future water supply projects and programs to increase water supply at this time. The 2016-2026 Water Master Plan update, which is available for viewing at https://www.cityofshastalake.org/DocumentCenter/View/1299/2016-2026- Water-Master-Plan?bidId=, identifies recommended capital improvement projects.

Other additions may be constructed due to development, but nothing is currently planned.

C. Topography and Soils

1. Topography of the district and its impact on water operations and management The City of Shasta Lake lies within the upper Churn Creek and Stillwater Creek watersheds that slope to the south from the hilly ridge forming the southern containment of Shasta Lake (W.A. Gelonek & Affiliates, Inc., 1981). The City lies at the northerly end of California’s Sacramento Valley and boarders Interstate 5 and the Union Pacific Railroad. Developed areas are gently rolling with numerous small creeks tributary to the two major waterways. The southern portion of the City tends to be flatter; the northern boundary becomes hilly with steep slopes and generally undeveloped land (W.A. Gelonek & Affiliates, Inc., 1981).

Elevations in the City range from a high of 1,280 feet above sea level at the northern boundary to a low of about 670 feet at the southern boundary. The majority of the developed community lies between 800 and 900 feet.

Due to the topography within the city limits, the water system includes 10 pressure zones fed by gravity storage tanks, with pressure reducing valves to regulate pressures.

Pressures range from 12 psi at the highest elevation to 135 psi at the lowest elevation.

INVENTORY OF WATER RESOURCES
A. Surface Water Supply

1. Surface water supplies in acre feet, imported and originating within the service area, by month (Table 1)
See Attachment M, Water Inventory Tables, Table 1

2. Amount of water delivered to the district by each of the district sources for the last 10 years
See Attachment M, Water Inventory Tables, Table 8
122
B. Groundwater Supply

1. Groundwater extracted by the district and delivered, by month (Table 2) – See Attachment M, Water Inventory Tables, Table 8

2. Groundwater basin(s) that underlies the service area Name Size (Square Miles) Usable Capacity (AF) Safe Yield (AF/Y) None
The City is located outside of the Redding ground-water basin, which contains the main water-bearing geologic units in the northern Sacramento Valley.

The geology underlying the City is characterized mainly by dense, relatively unfractured metavolcanic rock (Copley greenstone). Wells completed in the Copley greenstone generally have very low yields (less than 10 gpm). Less dense, probably more highly fractured black shale, the Kennett formation underlies the northeastern corner of the City. Wells of record completed in the Kennett formation within the City have similar or slightly higher yields than those completed in the Copley greenstone.

Chico formation rocks underlie the extreme south portion of the City. The Chico formation generally has poor water quality, and wells completed in this area of the City generally have low yields. A small area of Red Bluff formation occurs in the southeastern corner of the City.

Most wells of record within the City have very low yields (less than 10 gpm). The highest yielding wells in the vicinity of the City are those of the Mountain Gate Community Services District (CSD). The Mountain Gate CSD has two wells that average about 200 gpm each. The Mountain Gate CSD wells are completed in highly fractured Kennett formation, and are down gradient of a drainage area 1,200 acres that supplies recharge to the formation.

The area with the best potential ground-water yield within the City’s sphere of influence is the northeastern corner. This area appears to have a similar geologic setting to that of the Mountain Gate CSD well area. The Kennett formation has been mapped in that area, and there appears to be at least two fracture zones running through the area. Geologic conditions may not match exactly those of the Mountain Gate area, however, and it cannot be stated with certainty that yields similar to those at Mountain Gate can be obtained.

3. Map of district-operated wells and managed groundwater recharge areas N/A, no district-operated wells.

4. Description of conjunctive use of surface and groundwater N/A, no conjunctive use.

5. Groundwater Management Plan
Not applicable. The City is a member of the Redding Area Water Council, which is a collaboration of public and private agencies that are interested in our water resources and their plan and managed use. This collaborative has prepared a countywide water resource master plan, which looked at the groundwater resources within the Redding basin and Shasta County. The City of Shasta Lake is not located over a groundwater 123
basin, does not use groundwater, and has no role in groundwater management. The countywide water resource master plan proposes possible conjunctive use of groundwater for the City of Shasta Lake. This would mean diverting ACID water out of Shasta Lake for our City while we pumped groundwater out of a future well, near the canal, into the ACID canal.

CONTRACTORS
A. BMP Compliance Methodology
BMP forms for 2020 have been completed and submitted. A copy of the submitted forms is included in Attachment N.

The City’s 15-year baseline (1997-2010) is 267 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). The City met the 2020 target (215 gpcd) in the year 2020 (186 gpcd).

B. Foundational BMPs

1. Operations Programs

1.1 Operations Practices
A.1) Conservation Coordinator: As of 2014, the City has a designated Water Conservation Coordinator (Tony Thomasy, [email protected]) that supervises BMP implementation, evaluates effectiveness, and communicates program goals to the community.

A.2) Water waste prevention: The City Municipal Code contains the Water Waste Prevention Ordinance (15.10.160), which is available for viewing at https://www.municode.com/library/ca/shasta_lake/codes/code_of_ordinances.

This Water Waste Prevention Ordinance is in place at all times and is not dependent upon a water shortage for implementation.

A.3) Wholesale agency assistance programs: N/A.

1.2 Water Loss Control: The City has completed and submitted results of the AWWA water audits and loss control. The entire City is metered which allows the City to routinely calculate water losses. When a complaint is lodged regarding a potential water leak, the City takes swift action to identify and repair the given leak as warranted.

1.3 Metering with Commodity Rates for All New Connections and Retrofit of Existing Connections: All connections in the City are metered. Refer to Retail Conservation Pricing.

1.4 Retail Conservation Pricing: The City has an increasing-tier water rate schedule, see Attachment D. These metered water rates consist of a monthly rate based on meter size, a rate per 100 cubic feet (CF) based on usage, and drought surcharges for Stages 1 through 5. The drought surcharge for Stage 6 shall be the same as Stage 5.

2. Education Programs

2.1 Public Information Programs: The City implemented public education and outreach through the provision of flyers/brochures to customers, as well as providing bill inserts promoting water conservation, providing information on the City website, conducting a "Water Awareness Week," and providing tours of the WTP and WWTP.

2.2 School Education Programs: The City implemented an active school education program in 2014, which includes provision of education materials, instructional assistance, and classroom presentations. In May 2016, the City presented on drought and water conservation to 129 students at Mountain Lakes Middle School. In 2016 through 2019, 127
students at Grand Oaks Elementary School watched a video “10 tips for saving water in the home” during lunch break. Additionally, 400 water conservation coloring books are distributed to children during an annual holiday party organized by the City.

C. Programmatic BMPs

3. Residential
A.1) Residential assistance program: The City manages a comprehensive energy efficiency incentive program for residential and commercial customers focusing on peak load reduction and energy conservation. The City’s Water Efficiency Rebate and Conservation website, which is available for viewing at https://cityofshastalake.org/870/Efficiency-and-Rebates, has a link to the rebate programs and provides water conservation tips.

A.2) Landscape water survey: Water customers can schedule an appointment for free water audits, leak detection, and landscape surveys.

A.3) High-efficiency clothes washers (HECWs): The City offers a washer rebate of $100 per installation if the high efficiency washing machine meets requirements (Energy Star Modified Energy Factor 2.0 or greater, and Water Factor of 6.0 or less) and the hot water is supplied by an electric water heater.

A.4) WaterSense Specification (WSS) toilets: The City offers a toilet rebate of $100 per installation if the high performance low-flush toilet is a WaterSense labeled model replacing a standard toilet.

A.5) WaterSense Specifications for residential development: The City is in the process of updating the City Municipal Code to incorporate state specifications.

4. Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII): Refer to residential assistance program.

For commercial customers, rebates are available for upgraded lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, and, in cases where an analysis is performed, rebates can be offered for additional equipment that reduces energy use and/or demand.

5. Landscape: The City offers an automatic irrigation controller rebate of $100 per installation if replacing a manually controlled model.

D. Provide a 5-Year Budget for Expenditures and Staff Effort for BMPs

1. Amount actually spent during current year.

The City has a budget line item for water conservation totaling $15,000 per fiscal year.

The City also has a budgeted line item for $1,000 each for public education and school education. This amount is not further allocated but can be used for any water conservation or education activities related to the BMPs. The staff hours are not officially allocated but represent a minimum effort typically expended on all water conservation or education efforts related to the BMPs.

No water shall be served to two or more parcels of property separately owned through a common service pipe or water meter.

Each applicant for a water service connection shall be notified that a single meter may serve only one residence, or one residential building, or one commercial or one industrial building. However, residential or commercial building groups, the individual buildings of which cannot be owned separately, and which are located on parcels which cannot be divided into smaller portions, may be served from the same single meter.

If the use to which the building is intended indicates that a meter larger than a five-eighths-inch meter will be needed, it will be the responsibility of the city manager to determine the size of meter needed, and to inform the applicant that he or she will be required to install such a specified meter. Building plans, as approved by the Shasta County building department, must be submitted by the applicant for determination of meter size required.
(Amended during 1998 codification; prior code § 9.04.030)

13.12.040 - Meter—Attachment conditions.

The city's water department may attach a meter to any service, or service pipe, at any time it shall be deemed expedient to do so, and render corrected bills from the date of installation of such meter according to the meter rates set forth in this title. After the meter is so attached, any damage to such meter resulting from malice, carelessness or neglect of the customer, or any member of his or her family or anyone employed by him or her, and any damage which may result from hot water or steam from a 138

boiler or otherwise, shall be paid for by the consumer to the city on presentation of a bill therefor; and in case such bill is not paid, the water shall be shut off from the premises without further notice, and shall not be turned on until all charges are paid.

It is unlawful to interfere with or remove a water meter from any service where it has been attached, without first notifying and receiving permission from the meter and service clerk of the city. Such permission shall be granted only for the purpose of tests, replacements, repairs to the meter or service pipe, readjustment of service, or similar emergency.
(Amended during 1998 codification; prior code § 9.04.040)

13.12.050 - Meter—Use required when—Bypassing prohibited.

All city water used on any premises where a meter is installed must pass through the meter, except as provided in case of private fire services. No bypass or connection between the meter and the main shall be made or maintained.

Consumers will be held responsible and charged for all water passing through their meters. (Amended during 1998 codification; prior code § 9.04.050)

13.12.060 - Meter—Inaccurate registration—Customer charges.

If a meter fails to register during any period, or is known to register inaccurately, the consumer shall be charged with an average daily consumption as a season, as shown by the meter when in use and registering accurately. (Amended during 1998 codification; prior code § 13.12.060)

13.12.070 - Meter—Testing by city— Adjustment of charges.

Any consumer may demand that the meter through which water is being furnished be examined and tested by the city, for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not it is registering correctly the amount of water which is being delivered through it. Such demand shall be made in writing to the city. The written demand shall be accompanied by a deposit in an amount determined by the current chargeout rate for one-half hour of city staff time. Upon receipt of such demand, it shall be the duty of the city to cause the meter to be examined and tested for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not it is registering correctly the water being delivered through it. If, on such examination and test, the meter shall be found to register over three percent more water than actually passes through it, another meter will be substituted therefor, the deposit fee shall be repaid to the person making the application, and the water bill for the current period adjusted in such a manner as the city manager may deem fair and just. If the meter is found to register not over three percent fast, the deposit shall be forfeited to the city and the water bills paid as rendered.

A.

B.

The city is required by laws of the state of California, the California Administrative Code, Title 17, Chapter V, Sections 7583 through 7622 inclusive, and by the Shasta County health department to enforce regulations to safeguard its drinking water supply by preventing backflow into the water system. If a property served water by the city has a well or other source of water supply, it must provide a state-approved reduced pressure principle (RPP) device on the property side of the city water meter service. The RPP device must be tested and certified by a certified backflow device tester at least once each year for backflow leaks. If leakage is found, a new RPP device shall be installed immediately. The California Department of Public Health sanitary engineering personnel, the Shasta County health department personnel and the city's personnel may also inspect the RPP device at various times each year, and if found to be defective, the property owner will be notified to make repairs at once.

Pass-Through Rates:

The city will also pass-through any wholesale water rate increases imposed on the City by its wholesalers starting in FY 2017. The pass-through for FY 2017 is currently estimated to be $0.01/hundred cubic feet (hcf) and the rates shown in the Consumption Charges table above includes the pass-through for FY 2017. However, the table above does not include wholesaler pass-throughs for FY 2018-2021 since wholesaler water costs are not known at this time. Assuming 5% wholesaler cost increases each year, the pass-through would range from $0.03/hcf in FY 2018 to $0.08/hcf in FY 2021. The exact pass-through charge for FY 2018 (and subsequent FYs) will be calculated based on actual wholesale purchased water costs imposed on the city. The pass-through calculation is the difference in wholesale water purchase costs for each FY divided by the estimated water use for that FY.

distribution system as a whole and offers a particular benefit to adjacent property owners:

The city shall install the extension.

Thirty (30%) percent of the construction cost will be attributed to any adjacent properties specially benefited by the extension. This portion will be distributed to the specially benefited adjacent properties based on each property's linear foot frontage as it relates to the total footage of the extension.

Payment from the specially benefited properties will be due when the property connects to the water system and will be paid along with the then existing fees and charges required of all new meters.

In the event a property owner can demonstrate that the owner's property was benefited less than the share of costs attributed to the property, the city council may reduce the share of costs to the appropriate amount.

The front foot charge for a main extension shall be in effect for a period of twenty (20) years from the date of execution of the contract, if the extension is installed by the applicant. This provision shall apply to all water mains installed under contracts executed on or after the effective date of the ordinance codified in Chapters 12.04, 12.08 and Title 13 of this code.

The front foot charge shall not be applied more than once to any premises. Except for unusual conditions, premises already served at the date of installation of the extension will be excluded in determining the front foot charge.

If a main extension is installed by an applicant, the front foot charge will be determined by dividing the charge for the extension by the front footage of all premises which lie along and may be served directly from the extension.
(Amended during 1998 codification; prior code § 9.16.060)

13.12.360 - Front foot charges—Refund conditions.

Editor's note— Ord. No. 21-286 , adopted Jan. 19, 2021, repealed the former Art. V, §§ 13.12.370—13.12.400, and enacted a new Art. V as set out herein. The former Art. V pertained to cross-connection control, and derived from the 1998 codification; and the prior code § 9.20.010—9.20.030.

13.12.370 - Authority, purposes and incorporation of California Title 17 regulations.

Title 17, Chapter V, Section 7583-7622, inclusive, of the California Administrative Code, entitled "Regulations Relating to Cross-Connections," sets forth rules and regulations governing crossconnections. Said regulations are incorporated by reference and made a part of this code insofar as they are applicable to the protection of the public water supply.

Title 17, Section 7583, states, among other things, "The water purveyor has primary responsibility to prevent water from unapproved sources, or any other substance, from entering the public water supply system." The City of Shasta Lake, hereinafter "city," is a water purveyor within the meaning of Title 17.

In order to provide for an orderly and adequate means of protection of the public water supply from backflow, the requirements set forth in this chapter are reasonable and necessary. The city adopts these requirements for the protection of the public water supply from backflow. New water service connections shall be installed, and existing water service connections shall be modified to conform to these requirements.
(Ord. No. 21-286 , 1-19-2021)

13.12.380 - Responsibility.

The city manager shall be responsible for the protection of the public potable water supply from contamination or pollution due to the backflow or back-siphonage of contaminants or pollutants through the water service connection; the water department superintendent shall be responsible for the city's adherence, where possible, to Regulations Relating to Cross-Connections, as contained in the California Administrative Code, Title 17; Public Health, Chapter 5; Sanitation (Environmental), Subchapter 1; Engineering (Sanitary), Group 4, Drinking Water Supplies; the backflow prevention program coordinator is responsible for implementing all aspects of the crossconnection control and backflow prevention program.

13.12.390 - Definitions.
151
For the purposes of this chapter, the words set out in this section shall have the following meanings:
"Air gap" means the unobstructed vertical distance through the free atmosphere between the lowest opening from any pipe or faucet supplying water to a tank, plumbing fixture, or other device and the flood-level rim of said vessel. An approved air gap shall be at least double the diameter of the supply pipe, and in no case less than one inch.
"Approved" means accepted by the city's certified backflow prevention program coordinator meeting an applicable specification stated or cited in this chapter. The city will adhere to the list of approved backflow prevention assemblies provided by USC Foundation for Cross Connection Control. "Auxiliary water supply" means any water supply on or available to the premises other than the purveyor's approved public potable water supply. These auxiliary waters may include water from another purveyor's public potable water supply or any natural source(s) such as a well, spring, river, stream, harbor, etc., or "used waters" or "industrial fluids." These waters may be polluted or contaminated, or they may be objectionable and constitute an unacceptable water source over which the water purveyor does not have sanitary control. Any well will be considered as an auxiliary water supply unless abandoned to city standards. "Backflow" means the flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances under pressure into the distributing pipes or a potable water supply system from any source or sources other than its intended source. "Back-siphonage" means the flow of water or other liquids, mixtures or substances into the distributing pipes of a potable water supply system from any source other than its intended source, caused by the sudden reduction of pressure in the potable water supply system.
"Backflow preventer" means a device or means designed to prevent backflow or back-siphonage. "Certified tester" means a tester accepted by the city backflow prevention program coordinator as meeting applicable requirements stated or cited in this chapter. "Contamination" means an impairment of the quality of the potable water by sewage, industrial fluids or waste liquids, compounds or other materials to a degree which creates an actual hazard to the public health through poisoning or through the spread of disease.
"Cross-connection" means any physical connection or arrangement of piping or fixtures between two otherwise separate piping systems, one of which contains potable and the other non-potable water or industrial fluids of questionable safety, through which, or because of which, backflow or back-siphonage may occur into the potable water system. A water service connection between a public potable water distribution system and a customer's water distribution system which is cross-connected to a contaminated fixture, industrial fluid system, or with a potentially contaminated supply or auxiliary water system constitutes one type of cross-connection. Other types of cross-connections include connectors such as swing connections, removable sections, four-way plug valves, spools, dummy sections of pipe, swivel or charge-over devices, sliding multiport type, solid connections, etc. "Cross-connections, controlled." Controlled cross-connections means a connection between a potable water system and a non-potable water system with an approved backflow-prevention device properly installed that will continuously afford the protection commensurate with the degree of hazard. 152

3. 4.

5. 6.

1. "Cross-connection control by containment" means the installation of an approved backflow-prevention device at the water service connection to any customer's premises where it is physically and economically infeasible to find and permanently eliminate or control all actual or potential cross-connections within the customer's water system; or it means the installation of an approved backflow-prevention device on the service line leading to and supplying a portion of a customer's water system where there are actual or potential cross-connections which cannot be effectively eliminated or controlled at the point of cross-connection. "Customer" means any person or organization who receives water from the city water distribution system. "Double check-valve assembly" means an assembly of two independently operating approved check valves with tightly closing shutoff valves on each side of the check valves, plus properly located test cocks for the testing of each check valve. The entire assembly shall meet the design and performance specifications and approval of a recognized and city-approved testing agency for backflow-prevention devices. To be approved, these devices must be readily accessible for in-line maintenance and testing and installed to city standards. "Fire systems" means a fire-fighting system with a direct connection to the public potable water system that should be protected in a manner commensurate with the hazard. Fire protection systems may be classified as follows:

Class I. Direct connections from domestic water mains only; no pumps or reservoir, no physical connection from other water supplies; no antifreeze or other additives of any kind; and all sprinkler drains discharging to atmosphere, dry wells, or other safe outlets; Class II. Same as Class I, except that booster pumps may be installed in the connection from the street mains. This type of installation is not allowed by the city; Class III. Direct connection from public water supply main plus one or more of the following: Elevated storage tanks; fire pumps taking suction from above ground covered reservoirs or tanks; or pressure tanks. All storage facilities are filled or connected to public water only; the water in the tanks to be maintained in a potable condition;
Class IV. Directly supplied from public mains similar to Class I and II, connections for fire pumper truck or with an auxiliary water supply on or available to the premises; Class V. Directly supplied from public mains and interconnected with auxiliary supplies, such as pumps taking suction from reservoirs exposed to contamination or from rivers and ponds; driven wells; mills or other industrial water systems; or systems where anti-freeze or other additives are used;
Class VI. Combined industrial and fire protection systems supplied from the public water mains only, with or without gravity-storage or pump-suction tanks.
"Hazard, Degree of." Degree of hazard means the elevation of the potential risk to public health and the adverse effect of the hazard upon the potable water system as:

Hazard—Health. Any condition, device, or practice in the water supply system and its operation which could create, or in the judgment of the backflow prevention program coordinator may create a danger to the health and well-being of the water consumer. An example of a health hazard is a 153

2. 3.

4. structural defect, including cross-connections, in a water supply system.

Hazard—Plumbing. A plumbing type cross-connection in a consumer's potable water system that has not been properly protected by a vacuum breaker, air-gap separation, or backflow-prevention device.

Unprotected plumbing type cross-connections are considered to be a health hazard.

Hazard—Pollution. An actual or potential threat to the physical properties of the water system or to the potability of the public or the consumer's potable water system but which would constitute a nuisance or be aesthetically objectionable or could cause damage to the system or its appurtenances, but would not be dangerous to health.

Hazard—System. An actual or potential threat of severe damage to the physical properties of the public potable water system or the consumer's potable water system, or of a pollution or contamination which would have a protracted effect on the quality of the potable water in the system. "Industrial fluids system" means any system containing a fluid or solution which may be chemically, biologically or otherwise contaminated or polluted in a form or concentration such as would constitute a health, system, pollution or plumbing hazard if introduced into an approved water supply. This may include, but not be limited to:

Product Data Sheet
M120 M170

DESCRIPTION
The Recordall Models 120 and 170 Disc Series meters meet or exceed the most recent revision of AWWA Standard C700 and are available in a lead-free bronze alloy. Both meters comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act, are certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372 (Trade Designations: M120-LL and M170LL) and carry the NSF-61 mark on the housing. All components of the lead-free bronze alloy meter (housing, measuring element, seals, and so on) comprise the certified system.

Applications: For use in measurement of potable cold water in residential, commercial and industrial services where flow is in one direction only.

Operation: Water flows through the meter’s strainer and into the measuring chamber where it causes the disc to nutate. The disc, which moves freely, nutates on its own ball, guided by a thrust roller. A drive magnet transmits the motion of the disc to a follower magnet located within the permanently sealed register. The follower magnet is connected to the register gear train.

The gear train reduces the disc nutations into volume totalization units displayed on the register or encoder face.

Operating Performance: The Recordall Disc Series meters meet or exceed registration accuracy for the low flow rates (95%), normal operating flow rates (100 ± 1.5%), and maximum continuous operation flow rates as specifically stated in AWWA Standard C700.

Construction: Recordall Disc meter construction, which complies with ANSI/AWWA standard C700, consists of three basic components: meter housing, measuring chamber, and permanently sealed register or encoder.

The water meter is available in a lead-free bronze alloy. A corrosion-resistant engineered polymer material is used for the measuring chamber.

Magnetic Drive: Direct magnetic drive, through the use of high-strength magnets, provides positive, reliable and dependable register coupling for straight-reading or AMR/AMI meter reading options.

Tamper-Proof Features: Unauthorized removal of the register or encoder is inhibited by the option of a tamper detection seal wire screw, TORX® tamper-resistant seal screw or the proprietary tamper-resistant keyed seal screw. Each can be installed at the meter site or at the factory.

Maintenance: Badger Meter Recordall Disc Series meters are designed and manufactured to provide long-term service with minimal maintenance.

When maintenance is required, it can be performed easily either at the meter installation or at any other convenient location.

To simplify maintenance, the register, measuring chamber, and strainer can be replaced without removing the meter housing from the installation. No change gears are required for accuracy calibration. Interchangeability of parts among like-sized meters minimizes spare parts inventory investment.

The built-in strainer has an effective straining area of twice the inlet size.

Connections: Companion flanges in cast iron or NL bronze are available as options. Straight connection sets are available in NL bronze.

Product Data Sheet

DESCRIPTION
Recordall Turbo Series meters meet or exceed the most recent revision of AWWA Standard C701 Class II Standards and are available in a lead-free bronze alloy for sizes 1-1/2" through 10" and cast iron for 12" meters. Turbo Series meters comply with the lead-free provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Sizes 1-1/2" through 10" meters are also certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 61 and 372 (Trade Designation: Turbo Series LL-NS) and carry the NSF-61 mark on the housing. All components of the lead-free alloy meter (housing, measuring element, seals and so on) comprise the certified system.

Models 160 through 6200 are designed for 1-1/2" through 12" applications. These meters feature:
• Direct coupled turbine based on an exclusive “floating rotor” design that reduces bearing friction—and associated wear and tear.
• Low pressure loss for improved system efficiency.
• Exceptional registration accuracy across low flow rate, normal operating flow rate and maximum continuous operation flow. • Permanently sealed, tamper-resistant register or encoder. • Integral strainer option for sizes 1-1/2" through 4" help protect your system from damaging debris and related downtime.
• Meters and encoders are compatible with Badger Meter
AMR/AMI meter reading systems and other approved reading technologies.

Applications: Recordall Turbo Series meters are designed for cold water, commercial and industrial applications where flows are consistent medium to high flows. Applications include hotels, apartment buildings, irrigations centers and manufacturing and processing plants. Turbo Series meters help reduce day-today maintenance costs while delivering accurate and efficient performance.

Operation & Performance: Direct magnetic drive is achieved when the magnet carrier is driven by a gear train coupled to the rotor. The gear train consists of two sets of gears connected by a vertical transmission shaft. One gear set is at the magnet carrier, the other is a worm gear set at the rotor shaft. When water flows into the Turbo Series meter measuring element, it contacts the multi-vaned rotor. The resulting rotor rotation is then transmitted by magnetic coupling to a sealed register or encoder. The direct magnetic drive is built to provides a reliable meter-to-registration coupling.

Tamper-Proof Features: Unauthorized removal of the register or encoder is inhibited by the option of a tamper detection seal wire screw, TORX® tamper-resistant seal screw or the proprietary tamper-resistant keyed seal screw. Each can be installed at the meter site or at the factory.

Construction: The Recordall Turbo Series meter is constructed in compliance with ANSI and AWWA C701 standards. It consists of the following basic components: meter housing, interchangeable, unitized measuring element and permanently sealed direct reading registers or encoders.

The measuring element consists of the transmission coupling, rotor, inlet and outlet straightening vanes with nose cones, and calibration ring assembly. The unique inlet and outlet straightening vanes minimize swirl from piping arrangements upstream as well as downstream.

A strainer is recommended to help ensure optimal flow
conditioning and protection for the measuring element. An integral strainer is available as an option for 1-1/2" through 4" meter sizes. The stainless steel strainer is built into the inlet end and includes a removable cover plate to permit easy access for routine cleaning. External strainers are available in sizes 2" through 12".

To simplify maintenance, the registers or encoders and measuring elements can be removed without removing the meter housing.

Interchangeability of certain parts between meters also minimizes spare parts inventory investment.

Meter Installation: The meter is designed for installations where flow is in one direction only. Companion flanges for installation of meters on various pipe types and sizes are available in cast iron or NL bronze as an option. See the Recordall Turbo Series Meters User Manual for specific instructions.
