TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
DATE: October 20, 2026
SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER
8.07, MANDATORY ORGANIC WASTE DISPOSAL REDUCTION
FILE NO.:
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the first reading of the Ordinance amendments to Title 8.07 of the City of Shasta Lake Municipal Code (SLMC).
BACKGROUND
The City adopted Chapter 8.07 to implement California organic waste reduction requirements under SB 1383. CalRecycle notified jurisdictions that an Office of Administrative Law action effective May 4, 2026 updated the cross-reference in title 14, California Code of Regulations, section 18989.2(a). The regulation now cites sections 493.2(d)(2), (3), (4), and (7) of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO), title 23, Division 2, Chapter 2.7, as enacted January 2, 2025, in place of the former section 492.6(a)(3) references. The City’s ordinance contains the former citations.
Staff also reviewed the ordinance against the City’s current three-container collection program. The attached draft updates the green, blue, and gray container descriptions and removes obsolete brown-container references in the amended provisions. Commercial businesses and multifamily properties remain subject to applicable separation, access, education, contamination, and waiver requirements.
The City Council approved the first reading of the Ordinance at the October 6, 2026, City Council meeting.

8.07.010 Title.
This chapter may be cited as the Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction Ordinance.
8.07.020 Purpose and findings.
The City of Shasta Lake finds and declares:
A. State recycling law, Assembly Bill 939 of 1989, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (California Public Resources Code Section 40000 et seq., as amended, supplemented, superseded, and replaced from time to time), requires cities and counties to reduce, reuse, and recycle (including composting) solid waste generated in their jurisdictions to the maximum extent feasible before any incineration or landfill disposal of waste, to conserve water, energy, and other natural resources, and to protect the environment.
B. State recycling law, Assembly Bill 341 of 2011 (approved by the Governor of the State of California on October 5, 2011, which amended Sections 41730, 41731, 41734, 41735, 41736, 41800, 42926, 44004, and 50001 of, and added Sections 40004, 41734.5, and 41780.01 and Chapter 12.8 (commencing with Section 42649) to Part 3 of Division 30 of, and added and repealed Section 41780.02 of, the Public Resources Code, as amended, supplemented, superseded and replaced from time to time), places requirements on businesses and multi-family property owners that generate a specified threshold amount of solid waste to arrange for recycling services and requires jurisdictions to implement a mandatory commercial recycling program.
C. State organics recycling law, Assembly Bill 1826 of 2014 (approved by the Governor of the State of California on September 28, 2014, which added Chapter 12.9 (commencing with Section 42649.8) to Part 3 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code, relating to solid waste, as amended, supplemented, superseded, and replaced from time to time), requires businesses and multi-family property owners that generate a specified threshold amount of solid waste, recycling, and organic waste per week to arrange for recycling services for that waste, requires jurisdictions to implement a recycling program to divert organic waste from businesses subject to the law, and requires jurisdictions to implement a mandatory commercial organics recycling program.
35
D. SB 1383, the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, requires CalRecycle to develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane. The regulations place requirements on multiple entities including jurisdictions, residential households, commercial businesses and business owners, commercial edible food generators, haulers, self haulers, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services to support achievement of statewide organic waste disposal reduction targets.
E. SB 1383, the Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016, requires jurisdictions to adopt and enforce an ordinance or enforceable mechanism to implement relevant provisions of SB 1383 regulations. This ordinance will also help reduce food insecurity by requiring commercial edible food generators to arrange to have the maximum amount of their edible food, that would otherwise be disposed, be recovered for human consumption.
8.07.030 Definitions.

The facility is a "transfer/processor," as defined in 14 CCR Section 18815.2(a)(62), that is in compliance with the reporting requirements of 14 CCR Section 18815.S(d), and meets or exceeds an annual average source separated organic content recovery rate of fifty (50%) percent between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2024 and seventyfive (75%) percent on and after January 1, 2025 as calculated pursuant to 14 CCR Section 18815.S(t) for organic waste received from the source separated organic waste collection stream.
37
1.

Report and Recommendations 8.2 Reviewed and Approved

AGENDA ITEM
City Council
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: James Takehara, Electric Utility Director
DATE: October 20, 2026
SUBJECT: POWER SOURCE DISCLOSURE (PSD) REPORT AND POWER CONTENT LABEL (PCL) FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2025
FILE NO.:
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Shasta Lake adopt a Resolution to approve the attached “Power Source Disclosure” (PSD) and “Power Content Label” (PCL) for calendar year (CY) 2025.
BACKGROUND
California Public Utilities Code Sections 398.4 and 398.5 requires retail suppliers of electric products to identify the electric sources and product mix used to serve their customers and to provide this information to the California Energy Commission (CEC) and their end-use customers, annually.
The data gathered on the PSD are used to create the PCL attached to this staff report, which summarizes the types of electric resources that the City’s end-use electric customers receive. The PCL contains several data points worth highlighting.
1. The PCL was restructured again, by the CEC. There are 3 columns of data:
a. “The Electric Portfolio,” a name provided to CEC by City staff. This represents the electricity sold to end-use customers as reported by the sum total of all electric meters. This is the primary data in prior reports. b. “City of Shasta Lake Total,” a concept authored by the CEC and is new this iteration. This includes the data from item 1.a, above, but also includes 61 additional uses of electricity that typically is not captured by an electric meter, namely “system losses.” This attempts to recognize that when electricity is transmitted over hundreds of miles of powerlines (i.e., from power supply source to City end-use meters), a small amount of that electricity naturally converts to heat and dissipates. CEC uses an estimated value of 4.4% system loss, which is a reasonable value. The concept of powerline losses on the bulk electric system is a routine, ministerial matter in power supply management and transactions.
c. “CA Utility Average,” a concept authored by the CEC, reports similar data as in prior years. This provides the results of all CA electric utility portfolios and allows consumers to compare their host utilities to all others.
2. The City’s carbon intensity of its electric portfolio is 0% for 2025, per the PSD accounting methodology, even when accounting for the concept of “system losses.” That is, not only did COSL have enough carbon-free electricity to serve all of its end-users’ needs, COSL had an additional 4.4% of carbon-free electricity to offset the “system losses” CEC has attributed to COSL’s power supply sources. This information can be found by referencing the PCL under “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity,” measured in pounds per carbon dioxide equivalent (lbs/CO2e). In comparison, the average CA utility’s GHG Intensity is 384 lbs/CO2e per MWh, up from 359 lbs/CO2e per MWh from the year prior.
3. The City’s renewable energy content is significantly greater than the CA average. This is partially caused by the difference in accounting rules utilities must follow when preparing the PCL vs. how they actually source renewable energy. This is even footnoted on the PCL itself, which is based on a template prepared by the CA Energy Commission.
The accompanying resolution satisfies an administrative requirement that the City’s governing board approve the submission of an attestation of the veracity of the PSD, in lieu of having them reviewed by a third party at the City’s expense.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this resolution.

For firmed-&-shaped procurements specifically, enter all fields from step 3. Additionally, enter the EIA ID of the substitute power in the "EIA ID of Delivered Energy" field.7. For firmed-&-shaped procurements eligible for grandfathered GHG emissions, select "Yes" in the relevant field in column L: "Eligible for Firmed & Shaped Grandfathering?"8. Proxy EIA IDs for unspecified power and specified system mixes from asset-controlling suppliers have been provided. Enter "Unspecified Power", "BPA", or "Tacoma Power" as applicable.9. Proxy EIA IDs for aggregated reporting of WAPA CVP or PCIA resources have been provided. Enter "CVP", "PCIA Solar", "PCIA Wind", "PCIA Eligible Hydro", or "PCIA Large Hydro" as applicable.10. Only unspecified imports purchased directly from a seller under contract or ACS unspecified power procurements must be entered as line items; any additional unspecified power is calculated automatically in individual electricity portfolio tables after all specified resources are allocated.11. Allocate net MWhs procured to each electricity portfolio until the loads are balanced across each portfolio. If the total Net MWhs Procured exceeds the total retail sales of all portfolios, allocate only enough MWh to meet the retail sales of each portfolio.12. If electricity portfolio loads are balanced and net MWhs remain, allocate net MWhs to cover losses in the column starting with cell X28. This will add new losses, resulting in a new net short of unmet load in Cell X26. For retail suppliers that want to cover 100% of their lossadjusted load with specified procurements, continue allocating specified procurement in Column X until Cell X26 shows no unmet load. 65 Resource and GHG Allocations

TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: James Takehara, Electric Utility Director
DATE: October 20, 2026
SUBJECT: 5-YEAR REVIEW OF PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN FOR
ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES
FILE NO.:
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution accepting the electric department Physical Security Plan Report (“PSP Report”) of distribution level facilities, as required by CA Public Utilities Commission Decision 19-01-018 (“CPUC Decision”).
BACKGROUND
In January 2019, the California Public Utilities Commission issued Decision 19-01-018 that requires each California electric utility to apply CPUC-directed methods and criteria to determine if any of its electric distribution assets warrant additional physical security scrutiny. However, the criteria set in the CPUC Decision reveals their chief concern:
electric utilities assets that ultimately serve very large customers of heighted importance, such as major military bases; major law enforcement centers; large airports; regional hospitals; etc. The CPUC Decision further requires that the utility to (a) update its PSP Report once every 5 years, and (b) retain an independent, third-party to review its PSP Report upon its creation and any time it is updated.
The City prepared an iteration of this CPUC-mandated physical security assessment in 2021. City retained consulting firms, AESI-US, Inc., and TRC Solutions, to create and independently review, respectively, the City’s 2021 PSP Report, at a total cost of about $12,000, not including staff time. City Council adopted Resolution CC-2021-64 on 9/7/2021 accepting the 2021 PSP Report and third-party review. 79 The attached 2026 PSP Report represents the mandated 5-year review of the PSP Report. Staff prepared the initial draft of the 2026 PSP Report through an internal assessment of the prior approved version. Staff retained the services of Archer Energy Solutions to perform the CPUC-mandated independent, third-party review of the document. Archer completed its analysis of the 2026 PSP Report and had no recommended changes or findings, as documented in the excerpts from its report1.
In summary, the CPUC issued a Decision in 2019 that broadly applies to all electric utilities in CA but is focused on electric service to very large accounts that do not typically exist in small communities. The 2026 PSP Report finds, and the independent third-party reviewer concurs, that the City has no such “covered electric distribution facilities” that the CPUC is focused on. Therefore, no additional action is required by the CPUC Decision at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Electric Fund expended $3,300 from existing budgeted funds (i.e., consulting funds) for the independent, third-party review of the PSP report. Staff expects ongoing costs to maintain the physical security plan to be immaterial for the next 4 years, provided that laws and regulations are stable during this period.

2 under the Decision. The Decision requires COSL to review this assessment every 5 years, and COSL hereby reaƯirms no COSL distribution substations listed in the following table merit special protection and measures to lessen identified risks and threats, under the Decision.
Distribution Facilities Covered Distribution Assets
Flanagan Substation No
Central Valley Substation No
Knauf Substation No
Therefore, since none of the three COSL’s distribution are considered Covered distribution facilities, a physical security threat and vulnerability risk assessment was not required.
3. Introduction & Objectives
The California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) issued Decision 19-01-018 dated Jan 18, 2019 that requires electric utilities to identify electric distribution assets that may merit special protection and measures to lessen identified risks and threats. To address the risk of long-term outage to a distribution facility, each Operator must develop and implement a Mitigation Plan. The Mitigation Plan should follow a six-step procedure for carrying out these new physical security plan requirements. The six-step plan, presented in Appendix C is modeled on the security plan requirements set forth by the North America Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protocol (CIP)-014.
This decision also requires the Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) to prepare and submit to the Commission, a preliminary assessment of priority facilities for their distribution assets and control centers (“covered assets”) within 18 months of the decision. An unaƯiliated, thirdparty review of the plans must be completed within 27 months of the decision. Within 30 months of the decision, the IOUs are required to submit their Final Security Plan Report.
Within 30 months, each of the Publicly Owned Utilities (POUs) are required to provide the Commission with notice that an independently reviewed plan has been adopted. The POUs must review their plans every 5 years.
Sections 8001-8057 of the Public Utilities Code compel the POUs to also adhere to the decision as it relates to physical security and Phase I of the CPUC proceeding.
In compliance with the CPUC Decision 19-01-18, the City of Shasta lake (COSL) has developed a Physical Security Plan (PSP), first in 2021, with the findings of its 5-year review documented in this report. COSL has engaged an unaƯiliated third-party that meets the required qualification to review and provide comments and/or recommendations on the PSP. The comments and any suggested recommendations to the PSP from the unaƯiliated third-party reviewer have been reviewed by COSL and were appropriately addressed in the PSP.

4 b. If required, conducted a physical walkdown of the distribution facilities that were identified as Covered Distribution Facilities to identify any potential threats or vulnerabilities.
c. If required, conducted additional interviews with COSL management, SMEs and first responders to discuss the findings and gather additional information.
III. Post-Assessment –Based on the outcome of Phases I and II, conducted the threat and vulnerability risk assessment, identifying the baseline risks, the required mitigations, and the resulting residual risks.
IV. Physical Security Plan Report – Prepared the PSP report documenting the findings, of the Covered Distribution facilities, the potential threats and vulnerabilities, the risk assessments, and the required mitigations.
5.2. Personnel Acknowledgement
In the development of the original PSP, COSL retained the services of AESI-US, Inc., working with Loreto Sarracini, P.E., and Paul Stanley, CPP. AESI interviewed the following COSL personnel to gather information on the COSL’s distribution facilities. The 5-year review of the PSP was conducted by the same COSL personnel.

6.Description of the Utility’s Distribution Facilities
City of Shasta Lake is in Northern California, just north of the City of Redding. 87 City of Shasta Lake Physical Security Plan – 2026
Per CPUC Decision 19-01-18
5 COSL has no military installations, hospitals, or airports. There are small medical facilities, including a branch of the Shasta County Health Clinic that operates within COSL’s electric service territory. This clinic provides basic medical care and is one of several locations in the county.
COSL is served by the Shasta Lake Fire Protection District (SLFPD) for fire suppression and immediate medical response calls. Dispatch calls (911) are routed through SHASCOMM, an entity that serves the greater region out of Redding (dispatch is not a COSL electric customer). SLFPD maintains emergency backup capabilities to continue to receive calls for dispatch in the event of power outage. Also, SLFPD is installing a permanent backup generator at its station to sustain operations in the event of a power outage. 88 City of Shasta Lake Physical Security Plan – 2026
Per CPUC Decision 19-01-18
6 7. Identification of the In-Scope Distribution Facilities Subject to the CPUC Decision 19-01-18 per SB 699
The original PSP, and this 5-year update, apply the criteria set forth in CPUC Decision 19- 01-18 to Operators2 (see also Appendix A) and applied this to the COSL distribution system as presented in Section 6.0. COSL has analyzed 7 factors to determine if any of its Distribution Facilities3 satisfy any of the CPUC’s Decision and thus would be considered “Covered Distribution Facilities.”
The original PSP and this 5-year update find that COSL has no “Covered Distribution Facilities,” per the CPUC Decision criteria.
A summary of the assessment is as follows:

9 8.Details on the Assessment of the Covered Distribution Facility
Since there were no “Covered” distribution facilities identified this section was not required.
9. Identified Threat/Vulnerabilities & Risk Assessment
Since there were no “Covered” distribution facilities identified this section was not required.
10. Mitigations for Identified Threats and Vulnerabilities Since there were no “Covered” distribution facilities identified this section was not required.
11. PSP Validation
11.1. UnaƯiliated Third-Party Evaluation
For every Physical Security Plan cycle (see section 13) COSL will document the results of the identification process, risk assessment, and Mitigation Plan development performed pursuant to the following:
1. Identification of the Covered Distribution Facilities
2. Identification of the Physical Threats and Vulnerabilities and Conducting the Risk Assessment
3. Development of the Physical Security Plan (Mitigation Plan) This documentation constitutes COSL’s Draft Physical Security Plan. The Draft Physical Security Plan is submitted to a Qualified Third Party for Independent Review.
The Qualified Third-Party Reviewer will then issue an evaluation that identifies any potential deficiencies in the Draft Physical Security Plan as well as recommendations for improvements. COSL will then modify its plan to address any identified deficiencies or recommendations or will document the reasons why any recommendations were not adopted.
92 City of Shasta Lake Physical Security Plan – 2026
Per CPUC Decision 19-01-18
10 The combination of the Draft Physical Security Plan, the non-confidential conclusions of the Qualified Third-Party Reviewer, and COSL’s responses to the Qualified Third-Party Review will constitute COSL’s Final Physical Security Plan.
11.2. Qualified Authority
The final Physical Security Plan must be deemed adequate by a Qualified Authority designated by the applicable local governance body.
A multi-agency team is available to review COSL’s Physical Security Plans. This team includes the following agencies:
The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA),
The California OƯice of Emergency Services Critical Infrastructure Protection Unit (CIPU), and
The regional fusion centers operating within California, which may include following:
o The Central California Intelligence Center (CCIC),
o The Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC),
o The Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC), o The Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center (OCIAC), and o The San Diego Law Enforcement Coordination Center (SD-LECC).
This team of agencies has coordinated with California’s POUs and has agreed to be available to review individual POU Physical Security Plans if the POU desires. CISA, CIPU, and the relevant regional fusion center will assign one agency to lead the review process for each POU that requests a review. This security assessment process can include both a review of the Physical Security Plan and associated documents, as well as in-the-field assessments of identified facilities, as appropriate. The format of the report summarizing the lead agency’s recommendations will depend upon which agency assumes the lead role for that individual POU’s Physical Security Plan, which will be determined by the agencies’ staƯing availability and workload and will utilize existing procedures to the extent possible.
The timing for the completion of this review will depend on the availability of the necessary agency staƯ as well as competing requirements for these agencies, such as the occurrence of an emergency or security event.
The COSL shall inform the multi-agency team that it intends to submit this Physical Security Plan to it for review after the adoption of this plan by COSL’s governing board.
When the lead agency for the team completes its review and provides COSL with any recommendations regarding this plan or COSL’s operations, COSL will take one of the following actions:
Will update or revise the Physical Security Plan as appropriate based on the recommendations provided by the lead agency for the team, or 93 City of Shasta Lake Physical Security Plan – 2026
Per CPUC Decision 19-01-18
11 Document the reason(s) for not modifying the Physical Security Plan based on the recommendations from the lead agency of the team.
12. PSP Maintenance
COSL will perform maintenance of the adopted PSP on a periodic basis or when warranted to refine and update the PSP to preserve plan integrity. COSL recognizes the importance to review COSL’s distribution system, to identified if there are any changes to the services that COSL provides which could result in anyone of COSL’s distribution facilities being identified as a “Covered” distribution facility.
13. Repeat Process
In addition to the annual maintenance review, COSL will repeat the complete process as follows at least once every five (5) calendar years.
1. Assess all the COSL’s distribution facilities, identify which facilities are considered “Covered” Distribution Facilities pursuant to the CPUC Decision 19-01-18 that may merit special protection and measures to lessen identified risks and threats.
2. Once the “Covered” Distribution facilities have been identified, identify any potential physical security threats and vulnerabilities, and conduct a threat and vulnerability risk assessment. Determine the baseline risk based on the likelihood of an event occurring and the level of impact if the event occurred.
3. Based on the risk assessment, develop the recommended mitigations to reduce the identified risk and determine the residual risk based on the recommended mitigations.
4. Develop or update the PSP, establish an implementation plan, implement the identified mitigations, and integrate the PSP into COSL’s resiliency plans and activities.
14. Implementation Plan
Since there were no “Covered” distribution facilities identified this section was not required.
15. COSL Distribution Management
Although COSL has not identified any “Covered” distribution facilities, COSL has in place the following programs to manage their distribution systems, to ensure continued services to their customers and to minimize risk.
94 City of Shasta Lake Physical Security Plan – 2026
Per CPUC Decision 19-01-18
12 15.1. Asset Management
One of the key objectives of the COSL’s Electric Department is to maintain continuity of service (ex., to reduce the frequency of outages, to reduce the scope of outages, and to shorten duration of outages). To promote this objective, the COSL’s Electric Department maintains spare inventory as a part of normal operating practices, which includes maintaining a yard stock that can be used for all distribution transformers, switchgear, etc. in the event of an emergency. Substations are designed with a redundant transformer energized in the substation that is used for emergency backup.
Generally, resources are scaled based on the size or severity of the outage, which crews can quickly determine through the COSL’s advanced meter reading infrastructures, given the wide range of possible scenarios that any given outage may fall under. Electronic monitoring is used to gain as much information as possible as part of the damage assessment (e.g., geospatial mapping of outages by location / meter ID; estimating location based on fault current, etc.). Line crews patrol aƯected areas to identify cause of the outage, damaged assets if any, etc. Permanent or temporary repairs are made to the system so that power can be safely restored. Ultimately, field crews and or operations management determine when it is safe to reenergize aƯected powerlines.
The entire COSL’s distribution system is designed so that a loss of one device (line, breaker, switch, relay, etc.) will have a spare available. For example, the Central Valley substation includes a spare recloser that any other circuit can be switched to for continuity of service.
For a potential loss of a station transformer, COSL has several administrative tools at its disposal to recover from the loss of a transformer, which include the following:
1. Each substation contains at least one additional transformer that can continue to serve load without interruption.
2. COSL maintains an “on-call” list for professional services, which can be used to prepare transformer specifications and bidding services to purchase a replacement device.
3. The City’s municipal code gives authority to the City Manager to declare a local emergency, which can further expedite procurement activities, if conditions warrant.
4. The City maintains industry contacts with mobile transformer brokers, which can be utilized to bring a device into service while permanent repairs are addressed.
15.2. Workforce Training and Retention
COSL, has a documented training program for system restoration, conducting maintenance and overall system operations. The training is conducted annually to ensure that personnel are trained, and their roles and responsibilities are reinforced. 95 City of Shasta Lake Physical Security Plan – 2026
Per CPUC Decision 19-01-18
13 To support staƯ retention, COSL does incorporate strategic initiatives, such as staƯ retention, when forming its compensation packages and includes several benefits that build in value with nearly every year of service with the COSL. COSL oƯers a defined benefit retirement pensions, retirement medical, and vacation pay that start at 4 weeks per year, building to 8 weeks, based on years of service.
These strategic initiatives support COSL goal to ensure that staƯ are retained which is critical to the operation and maintenance of COSL’s distribution system. Losing experienced staƯ that are knowledgeable on COSL’s distribution system could impact the reliability of the systems and the restoration of the system, which is why COSL has implemented the strategic initiatives for staƯ retention.
15.3. Preventative Maintenance
COSL has an established preventative maintenance program and its substation maintenance is outsourced under contract with Western Area Power Administration (WAPA). The WAPA staƯ perform regular inspection, preventative maintenance, and respond during emergency events, including power outages.
The majority are COSL’s time-based triggers (asset condition intervals) follow WAPA’s normal maintenance program. Monthly inspections are performed by both COSL and WAPA. Longer maintenance intervals include thermographic inspections annually, battery capacity test every 5 years, and testing of Electronic Relays on 115kV assets every 3 years.
COSL’s preventative maintenance program allows COSL to identify potential equipment issues, perform the necessary maintenance in a controlled environment to avoid potential failures which can result in safety issues, financial impact and long customer outages.

Appendix C: CPUC Decision 19-01-18 Six Step Procedure
Safety and Enforcement Division’s (SED) Risk Assessment & Safety Advisory (RASA) recommend six-step procedure for carrying out new physical security plan requirements to address utilities’ distribution assets. These proposed steps are modeled on the security plan requirements set forth by NERC CIP-014.
Step 1. Assessment. Drafting of a plan, addressing prevention, response, and recovery, which could be prepared in-house or by a consultant, and which shall include proposed and recommended mitigation measures.
Step 2. Independent Review and Utility Response to Recommendations. Proposed plan would be reviewed and by an independent third party, likely a qualified consultant expert, national laboratory, or a regulatory or industry standard body (such as the Electric Power Research Institute). Step 2 would include reviewer recommendations that assess and appraise the appropriateness of the risk assessment, proposed mitigation measures, and other plan elements. A utility would be expected to fully address reviewer recommendations, including justifying any mitigations that it declines to accept; the independent third-party opinion/recommendations, utility response, threat and risk assessment, and mitigation measures combined would constitute a final plan report.
Step 3. Safety and Enforcement Division (SED) Review (for IOUs only). Final plan report would be reviewed by the CPUC SED (recurring every five years) so as to determine whether 98 City of Shasta Lake Physical Security Plan – 2026
Per CPUC Decision 19-01-18
16 it is in compliance with regulatory requirements, and eligible to request funding for implementation. Upon five years from the date of adoption, a utility would be required to have any revised or original plan updated and repeat the review process. Utilities may be aƯorded regulatory relief by way of an exemption request process for special cases where undertaking of the plan overhaul and/or review process may be impracticable or unduly burdensome. Non-compliance could result in an enforcement action, potentially resulting in sanctions and/or penalties as provided by. An SED finding of compliance would render IOUs eligible to request funding for appropriate physical security needs identified by IOUs; project expenditures would be tracked in a memorandum account and subject to reasonableness review in the GRC.
Step 3a. Plan Review (for POUs only). Final plan report would be deemed adequate (recurring every five years, and eligible for same exemption request process made available to the IOUs) by a qualified authority designated by the applicable local governance body. (For example, Riverside Public Utilities currently develops a security and emergency response plan that conforms to the Governor’s OƯice of Emergency Services (CalOES) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standards and receives their endorsement.) Step 4. Adoption (for POUs only). Reviewed plan would be submitted to the appropriate regulatory oversight body (local governance body) for review and greenlighting (adoption).
Step 4 should include funding to implement the plan.
Step 4a. Notice. (for POUs only). Provide CPUC with oƯicial notice (ideally including a copy of a resolution of the adopted plan action.
Step 5. Maintenance. Ongoing adopted plan refinement and updates as appropriate and as necessary to preserve plan integrity. All security plans should be concurrent with and integrated into utility resiliency plans and activities.
Step 6. Repeat Process. Plan overhaul and review every five years. 99 CPUC Security Plan

3. Executive Summary
Archer Energy Solutions LLC (Archer) contracted with the City of Shasta Lake (COSL) to perform an unaffiliated third-party review of its Security Plan (i.e., the COSL Physical Security Plan1) as required by the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) Decision D.19-01-018. 2 For this review, COSL provided
Archer with a copy of the Physical Security Plan and associated assessment documentation.
Based on its review of COSL’s Physical Security Plan and supporting documents, Archer believes COSL has a well-documented plan that appears to address all of the CPUC requirements. COSL’s analysis determined that none of its three Distribution Facilities meet the CPUC criteria for identification as Covered Distribution Facilities. As such, no threat analysis was performed, and no mitigation plan was created.
Archer has the following high-level recommendations based on its analysis for COSL’s consideration:
• While Archer concurs with COSL’s determination that it does not currently have any Covered Distribution Facilities, COSL should monitor any CPUC guidance or decisions regarding the definition of “regional,” as it may impact COSL’s identification of Covered Distribution Facilities. 1 COSL Physical Security Plan 2026 v01
