15.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

15.2.1 Overview
Channel Islands Beach Community Services District (CIBCSD) was created on December 13, 1982, as a result of the demand of the citizens of the beach community for an independent governmental entity to provide solutions to their need for various services, including but not limited to water, sewer, and trash services. A five member elected board governs the District. The District currently employs a staff of 8. Funding comes primarily through water, sewer, and trash rates.

The Channel Islands Beach Community Services District Board of Directors assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan; the General Manager for CIBCSD will oversee its implementation. 924
Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 15-2

15.2.2 Service Area
The Channel Islands Beach Community Services District serves the unincorporated areas of Ventura County southwest of Port Hueneme and the beach communities south of Oxnard, including the Silverstrand, Hollywood Beach, Hollywood by the Sea, and Channel Islands Harbor. The total current service area is approximately 1 square mile and serves about 10,000 customers via approximately 2,240 service connections.

15.2.3 Assets
Table 15-2 summarizes the assets of the District and their value.

15.3 CURRENT TRENDS
The population within the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District boundaries is not expected to significantly increase over the next five years and the District has no plans to expand its service area.

The District is legally authorized, but not obligated to provide street maintenance and improvement, street lighting, undergrounding of overhead utilities, fire protection, and police protection. The District does not provide these additional services at this time as the District does not have sufficient revenues for any of these services. The ability of the District to provide these services in the future will depend on upon available revenues and decisions by the Board of Directors and the District electors. These additional services are currently provided by the County of Ventura in the unincorporated areas of the District and by the City of Oxnard within its boundaries. 925

15.5 INTEGRATION REVIEW
For hazard mitigation planning, “integration” means that hazard mitigation information is used in other relevant planning mechanisms, such as capital facilities planning, and that relevant information from those sources is used in hazard mitigation. This section identifies where such integration is already in place, and where there are opportunities for further integration in the future. Resources listed at the end of this annex were used to provide information on integration. The progress reporting process described in Volume 1 of the hazard mitigation plan will document the progress of hazard mitigation actions related to integration and identify new opportunities for integration.

15.5.1 Existing Integration
Some level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and the following other local plans and programs:

Capital Improvement Plan—The capital improvement plan includes projects that can help mitigate potential hazards. The District will act to ensure consistency between the hazard mitigation plan and the current and future capital improvement plans. The hazard mitigation plan may identify new possible funding sources for capital improvement projects and may result in modifications to proposed projects based on results of the risk assessment.

Urban Water Management Plan—The Urban Water Management Plan addresses risks also addressed in this hazard mitigation plan including water reliability in drought years and following regional power outages and earthquakes.

15.5.2 Opportunities for Future Integration
The capability assessment in this annex indicates opportunities to integrate this mitigation plan with other jurisdictional planning/regulatory capabilities. Capabilities were identified as integration opportunities if they can support or enhance the actions identified in this plan or be supported or enhanced by components of this plan. The capability assessment identified the following plans and programs that do not currently integrate hazard mitigation information but provide opportunities to do so in the future:

Capital Improvement Projects—Capital improvement project proposals may take into consideration hazard mitigation potential as a means of evaluating project prioritization.

Emergency Response Plan—The results of the risk assessment may be used in the next update of the emergency response plan.

Sewer System Management Plan—The results of the risk assessment may be used in the next update of the sewer system management plan as it relates to infrastructure upgrades to protect against seismic activity and coastal hazards.

Taking action to integrate each of these programs with the hazard mitigation plan was considered as a mitigation action to include in the action plan in this annex. 929

15.6.2 Hazard Risk Ranking
Table 15-10 presents a local ranking of all hazards of concern for which this hazard mitigation plan provides complete risk assessments. As described in detail in Volume 1, the ranking process involves an assessment of the likelihood of occurrence for each hazard, along with its potential impacts on people, property, and district operations. Mitigation actions primarily target hazards with high and medium rankings.

Table 15-10.Hazard Risk Ranking

1 Dam Failure 36 High
2 Earthquake 32 High
3 Drought 9 High
4 Severe Storm 24 Medium
5 Severe Weather 24 Medium
6 Flooding 18 Medium
7 Landslide 18 Medium
8 Sea Level Rise 18 Medium
9 Tsunami 12 Low
10 Wildfire 0 Low

15.6.3 Other Noted Vulnerabilities
Volume 1 of this hazard mitigation plan provides complete risk assessments for each identified hazard of concern. The following jurisdiction-specific issues have been identified based on a review of the results of the risk assessment, public involvement strategy, and other available resources:

Tsunami—The highest elevation in the service area is about 30 feet above sea level and the district operations facility is only about 20 feet above sea level.

Erosion—Coastal erosion impacts the district service area especially during severe storm events. Impacts are expected to increase as the sea level rises and climate change produces stronger or more frequent coastal storms.

Earthquake and Liquefaction Zone—Asbestos cement pipe infrastructure is known to have moderate to high vulnerability, especially in liquefaction areas. In order for the infrastructure to be more resilient to seismic activity in the liquefaction zone, it needs to be replaced with PVC C900 pipes, which have a lower vulnerability rating.

Drought—80 percent of the water distributed by the district is pumped from wells. Only 20 percent is imported.

Mitigation actions addressing these issues were prioritized for consideration in the action plan in this annex.

15.7 STATUS OF PREVIOUS PLAN ACTIONS
Table 15-11 summarizes the actions that were recommended in the previous version of the hazard mitigation plan and their implementation status at the time this update was prepared. 931

16.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

16.2.1 Overview
The Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD) is a special district created in 1963 to provide park and recreational services and facilities for the residents of the Conejo Valley. A five-member elected Board of Directors governs the District. The Board will assume responsibility for the adoption of this plan; the General Manager will oversee its implementation. The District currently employs a full-time staff of 94. Funding is obtained through property taxes, State revenue bonds, developer fees, and assessment districts.

The City of Thousand Oaks and CRPD formed the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA) by a Joint Powers Agreement in 1977. This agreement enables the combined agency to conserve natural open space lands and assures the coordination of local land use and resource management decisions that support the goals of the City of Thousand Oaks General Plan and the CRPD Master Plan. Additional agreements between the City of Thousand Oaks, COSCA, and CRPD provide for an extensive equestrian/hiking trail system and a citywide bicycle trail system. In cooperation with the National Park Service, the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, 936
Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 16-2
COSCA, CRPD, and CTO, over 15,000 acres of open space are available for public enjoyment.

COSCA, CRPD, and the City of Thousand Oaks maintain approximately 13,215 acres of this amount and a 140-mile multi-use trail system.

16.2.2 Service Area and Trends
The District covers 62 square miles, and serves more than 136,000 residents of Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, and the Ventura County portion of Westlake Village. Assets Table 16-2 summarizes the assets of the District and their value.

Total:(value of all facilities on Property Schedule:$60,684,717) $21,451,655

16.3 CURRENT TRENDS
Recent updates to the City’s General Plan project a build-out population of over 145,000 by 2045.

CRPD faces two distinct funding challenges. The first is the high cost of funding new facilities, and the second, the funding of ongoing maintenance and operation of new and existing facilities. Coordination with the City and updates to the District’s Master Plan will enable the District to meet the projected service needs of the community.

16.5 INTEGRATION REVIEW
For hazard mitigation planning, “integration” means that hazard mitigation information is used in other relevant planning mechanisms, such as capital facilities planning, and that relevant information from those sources is used in hazard mitigation. This section identifies where such integration is already in place, and where there are opportunities for further integration in the future. Resources listed at the end of this annex were used to provide information on integration. The progress reporting process described in Volume 1 of the hazard mitigation plan will document the progress of hazard mitigation actions related to integration and identify new opportunities for integration.

16.5.1 Existing Integration
Conejo Recreation and Park District continually integrates hazard mitigation information and strategies during planning sessions related to capital improvement projects. This includes projects of new development and those related to the major repair of existing facilities (see FY 2021-2023 Adopted Budget via ‘CRPD Administration Public Policies and Documents’ link, Finance and Audit Section, in Table 16-3 above).

The development of internal documents, such as the ‘CRPD Disaster Management Plan’, which outlines a disaster response protocol, including training, and procedures for deployment of resources during an event, is another example of this integration. The District has included, in its two-year budget, portable emergency backup generators and electrical plug-in retrofits for these units. Other examples of integration include sustainable building practices, reduction of non-essential turf in response to the ongoing drought and the adoption of facility use agreements with coordinating agencies, such as the City of Thousand Oaks and American Red Cross.

16.5.2 Opportunities for Future Integration
The capability assessment has not identified any plans or programs for future integration with hazard mitigation information.

16.6.2 Hazard Risk Ranking
Table 16-10 presents a local ranking of all hazards of concern for which this hazard mitigation plan provides complete risk assessments. As described in detail in Volume 1, the ranking process involves an assessment of the likelihood of occurrence for each hazard, along with its potential impacts on people, property, and district operations. Mitigation actions primarily target hazards with high and medium rankings.

Table 16-10.Hazard Risk Ranking
Rank Hazard Risk Ranking Score Risk Category
1 Landslide 51 High
2 Wildfire 36 High
3 Earthquake 32 High
4 Severe Storms 24 Medium
4 Severe Weather 24 Medium
5 Flooding 18 Medium
6 Dam Failure 12 Low
7 Drought 9 Low
8 Sea Level Rise; Coastal Erosion 0 Low
8 Tsunami 0 Low

16.6.3 Other Noted Vulnerabilities
Volume 1 of this hazard mitigation plan provides complete risk assessments for each identified hazard of concern.

Irrespective of the risk ranking above, the principal hazards affecting Conejo Recreation and Park District are wildfire, severe storms and weather, and drought. The following hazard mitigation action plan will address vulnerabilities through flood and erosion control, soil stabilization, defensible space, ignition-resistant construction and infrastructure retrofits. Through independent solutions, public facilities and neighboring properties will have increased protection and full capacity of use.

Mitigation actions addressing these issues were prioritized for consideration in the action plan in this annex.

17.5 INTEGRATION REVIEW
For hazard mitigation planning, “integration” means that hazard mitigation information is used in other relevant planning mechanisms, such as capital facilities planning, and that relevant information from those sources is used in hazard mitigation. This section identifies where such integration is already in place, and where there are opportunities for further integration in the future. Resources listed at the end of this annex were used to provide information on integration. The progress reporting process described in Volume 1 of the hazard mitigation plan will document the progress of hazard mitigation actions related to integration and identify new opportunities for integration.

17.5.1 Existing Integration
No level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and other local plans and programs.

18.3 CURRENT TRENDS
Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District has a population of 78,936 (2020 Census) and is located in Ventura County, and encompasses the City of Camarillo and surrounding areas. The City of Camarillo is currently growing at a rate of 1.42% annually. (https://worldpopulationreview.com). Slated for future development, multiple new housing projects within the boundaries of the District will increase the population, impacting the capacity of existing parks and facilities the District operates. The future growth of facilities within the District includes new sports fields, new parks, pickleball courts, and a new Senior and Community Center.

Emergency services use district parks and facilities as staging locations for natural disasters, including wildfires within the region. Additionally, the District facilities are used as evacuation centers where that District staff monitor emergency operations.

18.5 INTEGRATION REVIEW
For hazard mitigation planning, “integration” means that hazard mitigation information is used in other relevant planning mechanisms, such as capital facilities planning, and that relevant information from those sources is used in hazard mitigation. This section identifies where such integration is already in place, and where there are opportunities for further integration in the future. Resources listed at the end of this annex were used to provide information on integration. The progress reporting process described in Volume 1 of the hazard mitigation plan will document the progress of hazard mitigation actions related to integration and identify new opportunities for integration.

18.5.1 Existing Integration
Some level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and the following other local plans and programs:

The Strategic Plan contains goals that align with hazard mitigation including green initiatives and sustainability, increased use of technology for hazard awareness and public outreach, and retrofits to facilities to meet new design standards.

Grid Pruning—Certified arborist hired by the District has put a grid pruning schedule together to ensure trees are maintained in the event of high winds, branches are secure, not weak, diseased or dead.

Long term plan in place to mitigate Charter Oaks windrow Eucalyptus trees (approx. 220 trees).

Annually clear brush at Las Posas Equestrian Park and trail as well as Camarillo Grove Park.

Annually clear and prep storm drains prior to winter storms.

Parks Mow/Water Schedule—The district has over 256 acres of parkland that is maintained with regular maintenance. Should a disaster occur, District parks have the capability to react quickly if they are needed for emergency usage.

Aquatics Maintenance—Showers at the aquatics center are fully maintained. If an emergency event occurred, the showers in the aquatics center could be used either for emergency personnel or citizens who have been displaced during the event.

Community Center Auditorium/Freedom Center—Community Center and Freedom Center is available to either house emergency personnel or citizens who have been displaced.

Community Center and Freedom Center is maintained at all times.

District electronic marquee sign has the capability to display emergency situations and weather conditions.

18.5.2 Opportunities for Future Integration
The capability assessment in this annex indicates opportunities to integrate this mitigation plan with other jurisdictional planning/regulatory capabilities. Capabilities were identified as integration opportunities if they can support or enhance the actions identified in this plan or be supported or enhanced by components of this plan. The capability assessment identified the following plans and programs that do not currently integrate hazard mitigation information but provide opportunities to do so in the future:

The District does not have a generator for any of its sites. Placing a generator at the Community Center location would enable the district to provide shelter/housing for emergency personnel or citizens who have become displaced due to an emergency event The District does not currently have a recovery plan, but could partner with the City of Camarillo to offer resources and staffing in the event of an emergency. The District could build a Post- Disaster Recovery Plan partnering with the City of Camarillo to help lay out policies, operational strategies and roles and responsibilities that would help guide the decisions and actions of community leaders relative to long-term recovery and redevelopment following a major catastrophic disaster.

Future Capital Improvement Projects could take hazard mitigation into consideration when evaluating project prioritization.

Send selected staff to a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) class.

Taking action to integrate each of these programs with the hazard mitigation plan was considered as a mitigation action to include in the action plan in this annex. 960

19.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

19.2.1 Overview
The Saticoy Sanitary District is a special district created in 1941 to provide wastewater (sewer) service.

A five-member elected Board of Directors governs the District. The Board assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan; the General Manager will oversee its implementation. The District currently has no employees and contracts via Ventura Regional Sanitation District for its administrative and operational work with direct contracts for the General Manager and Engineering Analyst services. Funding comes primarily through sewer service rates.

19.2.2 Service Area
The Saticoy Sanitary District serves an unincorporated area of the County of Ventura with the City of Ventura to the west. The current total service area is 0.35 square miles. As of May 30, 2021, the District serves approximately 3,600 wastewater customers through 292 parcels located within the District. 966

19.5 INTEGRATION REVIEW
For hazard mitigation planning, “integration” means that hazard mitigation information is used in other relevant planning mechanisms, such as capital facilities planning, and that relevant information from those sources is used in hazard mitigation. This section identifies where such integration is already in place, and where there are opportunities for further integration in the future. Resources listed at the end of this annex were used to provide information on integration. The progress reporting process described in Volume 1 of the hazard mitigation plan will document the progress of hazard mitigation actions related to integration and identify new opportunities for integration.

19.5.1 Existing Integration
Some level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and the following other local plans and programs:

Capital Improvement Plan—The capital improvement plan includes projects that can help mitigate potential hazards through rehabilitating key components. The District will act to ensure consistency between the hazard mitigation plan and the current and future capital improvement plans. The hazard mitigation plan may identify new possible funding sources for capital improvement projects and may result in modifications to proposed projects based on results of the risk assessment. Currently, the District utilizes the Department of Housing and Urban 970
Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 19-6
Development CDBG program and is in the design phase for the State of California Prop1-TA Bond Program.

Emergency Response Plan—The results of a risk assessment were used in the development of the emergency response plan and are so noted in the plan.

19.5.2 Opportunities for Future Integration
The capability assessment in this annex indicates opportunities to integrate this mitigation plan with other jurisdictional planning/regulatory capabilities. Capabilities were identified as integration opportunities if they can support or enhance the actions identified in this plan or be supported or enhanced by components of this plan. The capability assessment identified the following plans and programs that do not currently integrate hazard mitigation information but provide opportunities to do so in the future:

Capital Improvement Projects—Capital improvement project proposals may take into consideration hazard mitigation potential as a means of evaluating project prioritization. But the critical criteria remains the risk assessment and needs prioritization coupled with funding availability.

Post-Disaster Recovery Plan—The District does not have a recovery plan and intends to develop one as a mitigation planning action during the next five years. The plan will build on the mitigation goals and objectives identified in the mitigation plan.

Taking action to integrate each of these programs with the hazard mitigation plan was considered as a mitigation action to include in the action plan in this annex.

19.6 RISK ASSESSMENT

19.6.1 Jurisdiction-Specific Natural Hazard Event History Table 19-9 lists past occurrences of natural hazards for which specific damage was recorded in this jurisdiction.

19.8 INFORMATION SOURCES USED FOR THIS ANNEX
The following technical reports, plans, and regulatory mechanisms were reviewed to provide information for this annex.
5-year CIPwas reviewed to determine if the risk assessment and hazard mitigation factors could be comingled and used to develop a more structured needs base.

The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Cease and Desist Orderwas instrumental to prioritize the hazards the District faces due to certain system deficiencies caused by an aging infrastructure and vulnerabilities if not corrected.

The District reviewed its Waste Discharge Permit andEmergency Response Plan along with theThreat Assessment Matrix to ensure that the incorporation of a Hazard Mitigation Plan could be achieved and implemented accordingly.

20.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

20.2.1 Overview
The Triunfo Water & Sanitation District is a special district created in 1963 to provide wastewater (sewer) service. The District expanded its service to the community in 1993 with the purchase of the Metropolitan Water Company located within the District’s boundaries in Oak Park. A five-member elected Board of Directors governs the District. The Board assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan; the General Manager will oversee its implementation. The District currently has 9 employees and contracts via Ventura Regional Sanitation District for its operational services. Funding comes primarily through potable water and sewer service rates.

20.2.2 Service Area and Trends
Covering a service area of approximately 50 square miles, the District provides wastewater collection and treatment services to more than 30,000 people in Oak Park, Lake Sherwood, Bell Canyon, and the 976
Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 20-2
Westlake Village and North Ranch portions of Thousand Oaks. Triunfo also supplies potable water to more than 14,000 people in Oak Park.

20.5 INTEGRATION REVIEW
For hazard mitigation planning, “integration” means that hazard mitigation information is used in other relevant planning mechanisms, such as capital facilities planning, and that relevant information from those sources is used in hazard mitigation. This section identifies where such integration is already in place, and where there are opportunities for further integration in the future. Resources listed at the end of this annex were used to provide information on integration. The progress reporting process described in Volume 1 of the hazard mitigation plan will document the progress of hazard mitigation actions related to integration and identify new opportunities for integration.

20.5.1 Existing Integration
Some level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and the following other local plans and programs:

Emergency Response Plan—The results of a risk assessment were used in the development of the emergency response plan and are so noted in the plan.

20.5.2 Opportunities for Future Integration
The capability assessment in this annex indicates opportunities to integrate this mitigation plan with other jurisdictional planning/regulatory capabilities. Capabilities were identified as integration opportunities if they can support or enhance the actions identified in this plan or be supported or enhanced by components of this plan. The capability assessment identified the following plans and programs that do not currently integrate hazard mitigation information but provide opportunities to do so in the future:

Post-Disaster Recovery Plan—The District does not have a completed recovery plan and intends to fully develop one as a mitigation planning action during the next five years. The plan will build on the mitigation goals and objectives identified in the mitigation plan.

Taking action to integrate each of these programs with the hazard mitigation plan was considered as a mitigation action to include in the action plan in this annex. 981

21.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

21.2.1 Overview
Local landowners formed the Santa Clara River Water Conservation District in 1927. As cities and agricultural areas grew, water usage increased rapidly. By 1950, the district was reorganized and renamed the United Water Conservation District (UWCD). The mission of UWCD is to manage, protect, conserve and enhance the water resources of the Santa Clara River, its tributaries and associated aquifers, in the most cost effective and environmentally balanced manner. UWCD constructed the Santa Felicia Dam, three spreading grounds, and distribution facilities, all of which were urgently needed to combat seawater intrusion.

UWCD is governed by seven members elected Board of Directors, one elected from each of the seven district divisions. UWCD administers a “basin management” program for the Santa Clara Valley and 986
Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 21-2
Oxnard Plain, using the surface flow of the Santa Clara River and its tributaries for replenishment of groundwater and owns and operates a number of facilities within its service area. UWCD currently employs a staff of 64. Funding comes primarily through rates and revenue bonds.

The Board of Directors assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan; Mr. Mauricio E. Guardado Jr. (UWCD General Manager) will oversee its implementation.

21.2.2 Service Area
UWCD operates within the Santa Clara River Valley and the Oxnard Plain and covers approximately 335 square miles in central Ventura County. UWCD owns and operates a number of facilities to recharge the groundwater basins and enhance the water supplies within UWCD boundaries including:

Santa Felicia Dam and Lake Piru Reservoir; Santa Felicia Dam hydroelectric power plant; the Piru Groundwater Recharge Basins; Freeman Diversion Facility; Saticoy Groundwater Recharge Basins (Saticoy, Noble, Rose and Ferro Basins); El Rio Groundwater Recharge Facilities and Wellfield and Water Treatment Plant (El Rio); the Pleasant Valley (PV) and Pumping Trough Pipeline (PTP) (surface water deliveries in-lieu of pumping), PV and PTP reservoirs, and the Oxnard Hueneme (OH) Pipeline system which delivers domestic potable water to the City of Oxnard, Port Hueneme Water Agency, Naval Base Ventura County, several mutual water companies and the El Rio School District.

21.3 CURRENT TRENDS
Originally formed as the Santa Clara Water Conservation District in 1927, voters approved the formation of United Water Conservation District in 1950. UWCD was formed to conserve and enhance water resources of the Santa Clara River. UWCD operates in the Santa Clara River Valley and the Oxnard Plain and covers 214,000 acres in central Ventura County that typically receives from 12 to 20 inches of rainfall each year.

Over the years, UWCD has constructed numerous facilities, pipelines, and recharge basins, including the Santa Felicia Dam, Lake Piru Reservoir and Freeman Diversion, to enhance the local water system and maintain sustainable water management. Today, UWCD diverts Santa Clara River surface water to recharge groundwater basins or for use in-lieu of groundwater pumping by agricultural operations on the Oxnard Plain and in Pleasant Valley basin. Groundwater recharged at United’s Saticoy and El Rio facilities (in the Oxnard Forebay) over the last thirty years has averaged approximately 46, 400 acre- feet per year (AFY). During the same period, surface water deliveries have averaged approximately 13, 200 AF/yr. Lake Piru receives approximately 65,000 visitors per year, with peak season between the months of April 1stto September 15. In 2021, UWCD took over operations from the previous concessionaire, and Lake Piru welcomed to date 34,600 visitors, with daily average of 1,533 guests per day since the lake re-opened from the COVID-19 closure.

Jurisdiction-level understanding of potential climate change impacts High Comment: Wildfires, as a climate change indicator, may impact UWCDoperations. Also, climate change could lead to a major storm, and the probability of having a Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) event. FEMA document titled “Selecting and Accommodating Inflow Design Floods for Dams” states that recent studies have been performed to estimate the impact of the climate change on the probable maximum precipitation and some climate models are consistent in showing increases of 10 percent every few decades that would correspond to 10 percent increases in probable maximum precipitation. The climate change (soil moisture, snowpack, temperature sequence, etc.) can influence on runoff and increase the likelihood of a large flood or Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) event. UWCD is in advancing the design of a number of modifications to the existing Santa Felicia Dam spillway to be able to safely pass the Inflow Design Flood (IDF), or the PMF determined for Santa Felicia Dam by the Department of Water Resources, Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD).

21.5 INTEGRATION REVIEW
For hazard mitigation planning, “integration” means that hazard mitigation information is used in other relevant planning mechanisms, such as capital facilities planning, and that relevant information from those sources is used in hazard mitigation. This section identifies where such integration is already in place, and where there are opportunities for further integration in the future. Resources listed at the end of this annex were used to provide information on integration. The progress reporting process described in Volume 1 of the hazard mitigation plan will document the progress of hazard mitigation actions related to integration and identify new opportunities for integration.

21.5.1 Existing Integration
Some level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and the following other local plans and programs:

Santa Felicia Dam Emergency Action Plan (EAP):The EAP defines the UWCD staff responsibilities and provides procedures designed to identify unusual and unlikely conditions that may endanger Santa Felica Dam in time to take mitigation action and to notify the appropriate emergency management authorities and stakeholders of possible, impending, or actual failure of the dam. The EAP may also be used to provide notification when flood releases can create major flooding. The results of the Time-Sensitive Emergency Action Plan Assessment associated with the Santa Felicia Dam were used to develop the EAP.

Santa Felicia Dam Outlet Works Improvement: The purpose of the Santa Felicia Dam Outlet Works Improvement project is to replace the existing outlet works because of concerns regarding seismic stability of the intake tower and conduit through the dam. UWCD conducted a 992
Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 21-8
Seismic Deformation Analyses of Santa Felicia Dam on May 11, 2015 that indicated that the computed seismic deformations of the embankment are expected to be large enough to damage the outlet works conduit, and possibly compromise the safety of the dam. In addition, based on the 2015 and 2020 bathymetric surveys of Lake Piru Reservoir performed by UWCD, the sediment level near the existing intake was approximately only 4.1 feet below the intake sill.

Based on the computed average annual rate of sediment level rise, the sediment may reach the intake sill in the near future and will become inoperable. The new outlet works system will mitigate ongoing accumulation of sediment in the reservoir and includes provisions for continued operation of the facility despite the future sediment buildup in the reservoir.

Santa Felicia Dam Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) Containment, Spillway Improvement Project:The capacity of the existing spillway at Santa Felicia Dam is inadequate to pass the inflow design flood (IDF), which for the Santa Felicia Dam is the PMF. The Spillway Improvement Project includes modifications to the existing spillway to safely pass the IDF of 220,000 cfs, which is derived from hydrologic evaluations (HMR 58/59) performed by the DSOD and approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

21.5.2 Opportunities for Future Integration
The capability assessment in this annex indicates opportunities to integrate this mitigation plan with other jurisdictional planning/regulatory capabilities. Capabilities were identified as integration opportunities if they can support or enhance the actions identified in this plan or be supported or enhanced by components of this plan. The capability assessment identified in the following plans and programs does not currently integrate hazard mitigation information but provides opportunities to do so in the future:

Coastal Brackish Groundwater Extraction and Treatment Project: The project objectives are to combat further seawater intrusion in the Oxnard Plain and provide a local supply source that can help meet the groundwater sustainability goals of the Fox canyon Groundwater Management Agency.

Expansion of the Ferro Basin: The project is to be used as a groundwater recharge basin to expand UWCD’s recharge capacities.

Freeman Diversion Expansion: The project allows UWCD to increase the instantaneous diversion rate to capture more water at the peak of the hydrograph. This is necessary in the respect that regulatory agencies are requiring more flow in the river on the receding limb of the hydrograph. Ultimately the expansion project will provide the opportunity to maintain historical surface water deliveries to the Oxnard Plain when available. The project is also to comply with an Endangered Species Act (ESA) settlement as well as a mitigation measure for the Multi- Species Habitat Conservation Plan.

Pumping Trough Pipeline (PTP) Recycled Water Connection:A pipeline connection to UWCD’s PTP system for the delivery of recycled water. The recycled water delivered to the PTP system can significantly reduce groundwater pumping in the PTP service area and Oxnard Plain.

Taking action to integrate each of these programs with the hazard mitigation plan was considered as a mitigation action to include in the action plan in this annex. 993

21.6.3 Other Noted Vulnerabilities
Volume 1 of this hazard mitigation plan provides complete risk assessments for each identified hazard of concern. The following jurisdiction-specific issues have been identified based on a review of the results of the risk assessment, public involvement strategy, and other available resources:

Santa Felicia Dam is classified as an “Extremely High Hazard” dam by the DSOD. Two of the Dam’s largest infrastructure components, Outlet Works and Spillway, will pose a significant risk to public safety if not modernized and upgraded. Failure of these components could result in the potential loss of life for approximately 377,000 people living downstream of the Santa Felicia Dam, as well as property loss and damage from the flooding of the towns of Piru, Fillmore, Santa Paula, and Oxnard, negatively impacting the area’s $2 billion dollar the agricultural industry as well as manufacturing, retail, hospitality, health care and military operations.

Mitigation actions addressing these issues were prioritized for consideration in the action plan in this annex.

OA 10—SFD Outlet Works Rehab—Replace the nearly buriedand seismic-deficient intake tower at Santa Felicia Dam with a robust facility with higher elevation point(s) of intake. Replace the seismically marginal penstock with appropriate new materials.

UWC-4
Comment:The planned design alternative is to build a new outlet works facility on the left (east) abutment of the dam. The SFD Outlet Works improvement and retrofit is currently in the design phase. The construction is anticipated to start in 2024. The success of this project is contingent upon securing grant funding support from both state and federal sources critical for the implementation of the dam safety improvements.

OA 10—SFD PMF Containment—The Probable Maximum Flood (PMF at all dams must be confined to the structure and spillway. Overtopping earthen dams will almost certainly lead to failure. UWCD will need to deepen the spillway and raise the height of the dam crest.

UWC-5
Comment:The SFD improvements of the spillway arecurrently in the design phase. The construction is anticipated to start in 2026. The success of this project is contingent upon securing both the state and federal grant funds.

UWCD 1—UWCD will install a generator at the Saticoy Recharge Facility.

Comment:A new generator was installed at the Saticoy Recharge Facility in 2018.

UWCD 2—Part 12D Dam Safety Report—An independent consultant will be hired to perform the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Part 12D safety inspection and review of Santa Felicia Dam. This process includes reviewing the Potential Failure Mode Analysis (completed in 2007) and the Supporting Technical Information Document; and updating the documents as necessary.

Comment:Part 12D Dam Safety Inspection and Report for the Santa Felicia Dam was completed in 2017. UWCD will conduct the next Part 12D Dam Safety Inspection in 2022 as the inspection is required to be conducted every 5 years.

UWCD 3—Evaluate and develop a public outreach program that informs and educates the public located in the inundation zone directly downstream of Santa Felicia Dam.

UWC-10
Comment:The public outreach program includes the required annual Emergency Action Plan (EAP) seminarsandannual law enforcement coordination meetings, as well as frequent participation in the Piru neighborhood council monthly meetings.

Selecting and Accommodating Inflow Design Floods for Dams, FEMA P-94, Dated August 2013:The main objectives of this document is to recommend appropriate procedures for selecting and accommodating the Inflow Design Flood based on current and accepted practices and to promote a reasonable degree of consistency and uniformity among state and federal agencies. Appropriate selection of the Inflow Design Flood is the first step in evaluating and designing a dam to address hydrologic potential failure modes and reduce risks to the public.

This document was reviewed during the development of the capability assessment and the Adaptive Capacity for Climate Change.

Hydrometeorological Reports (HMR 58 and 59), California Department of Water Resources, Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD):The Santa Felicia Dam Inflow Design Flood (IDF) of 220,000 cfs was developed using DSOD interim Hydrology Policy Modified HMR 58/59 (2012). The IDF was approved by the regulatory agencies. These reports were reviewed and used during the development of the hazard mitigation action plan (UWC-5).

Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex Development Toolkit: The toolkit was used to support the identification of past hazard events and noted vulnerabilities, risk ranking, and the development of the mitigation action plan.

21.11 FUTURE NEEDS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND RISK/VULNERABILITY UWCD will update the Santa Felicia Dam Vulnerability and Risk Assessment in 2022 in accordance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s dam safety requirements. The Vulnerability and Risk Assessment includes evaluation of structures and facilities to identify weaknesses and or potential single or multiple points of failures. The outcome will include recommended mitigation measures to address these concerns.

21.12 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
UWCD is currently coordinating with the Emergency Management Agencies (EMAs) of the Santa Felicia Dam impacted jurisdictions including the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services (VCSOES) to determine if they need assistance in developing local evacuation plans. UWCD will offer support, including technical support, to the EMAs as needed. 1001

22.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

22.2.1 Overview
In 1928, the VCFPD was formed as a special districtto provide fire protection to the county, with the exception of the four established cities. Since that time, six additional cities have become incorporated.

Today, the VCFPD acts as the county fire department for unincorporated Ventura County and as the city fire department for seven cities (Camarillo, Moorpark, Ojai, Port Hueneme, Santa Paula, Thousand Oaks, and Simi Valley).
1002
Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 22-2
Composed of approximately 600 dedicated men and women, the Ventura County Fire Protection District is an all-hazard, full-service agency. VCFPD proudly provides fire protection, medical aid, rescue, hazardous materials response, and a variety of other services to the public. TheVentura County Board of Supervisorsacts as the fire protection district’s board of directors. These five elected supervisors appoint the fire chief and task him with providing fire protection services for the district.

VCFPD responds to calls from 33 strategically placed fire stations located throughout Ventura County.

VCFPD firefighters are trained to provide the highest level of firefighting, rescue, and emergency medical care. In addition to fighting fires, VCFPD responds to medical emergencies, traffic accidents, land and water rescues, hazardous materials calls, environmental hazards, and a variety of public service requests.

The Ventura County Board of Supervisors assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan; Ventura County Office of Emergency Services will oversee its implementation.

The District participates in the Public Protection Class Rating System and currently has a rating of 5.
