12.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

12.2.1 Overview
The California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) is a public university in Ventura County, California. CSUCI opened in 2002 as the 23rd campus in the California State University system. CSUCI is located midway between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles near Camarillo, at the intersection of the Oxnard Plain and northernmost edge of the Santa Monica Mountains range. The Channel Islands are nearby where the university operates a scientific research station on Santa Rosa Island.

The campus is located about two miles south of the city of Camarillo, at the base of Long Grade Canyon. The school is set on rich agricultural land at the edge of the Oxnard Plain bo rdered by farms and nestled into the base of the Santa Monica Mountains. Th e flat site is marked by a lone peak called Item No.7D

Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 12-2
Round Mountain (the Chumash name is Sathwiwa). The campus is situated on land historically inhabited by the Chumash.

The site was originally a state hospital and operated from 1936 to 1997. The state hospital was built in a remote area so roads were improved to provide for the campus traffic. The university developed a bus transit network to serve the campus with VISTA buses pr oviding access to Gold Coast Transit in Oxnard and t he Camarillo train station. After gaining official possession of the land in 1998, improvements began in 1999 on the 634-acre existing campus-style facility, primarily one to two-story buildings organized around three primary quads. In 2007, the campus acquired an additional 153 acres.

Many of the buildings are in the Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural styles, although there are a few “modern” buildings. The campus is split into two primary sections: North Quad and South Quad. In 2012, Del Norte and Madera halls were opened in the North Quad; some of the buildings in the North Quad are still uninhabited and unsafe due to age, which became CSU Channel Islands University Park l ocated adjacent to the campus. The university is a Hispanic-serving institution.

Channel Islands offers 54 types of Bachelor’s degrees, 6 different graduate (Master’s) degrees, 19 teaching credentials, and an Ed.D degree. In the fall of 2018, the university enrolled the largest number of students in its history with 7,095 undergraduate and postgraduate students. Since its establishment, the university has awarded over 11,000 students with degrees.

CSUCI is the only four-year public university in Ventura County and in 2010 it received Hispanic Serving Institution status (HSI). The university achieved this status by moving past the threshold of having at least a 25 percent Hispanic student population. The Hispanic/Latino student population was 50% as of the fall of 2017.

Planning for the U niversity began in 1965, when State Senator Robert J. Lagomarsino co-authored Senate Bill 288 calling for establishment of a four-year public college in Ventura County, and Governor Pat Brown signed a bill authorizing a study for a state college for the county. In 1974, Dr.

Joyce Kennedy established the UC/CSU Ventura Learning Center in Ventura as a partnership between UC Santa Barbara and California State University, Northridge. The Ventura Learning Center became the CSU Northridge Ventura Campus in 1988.

In 1996, J Handel began as the campus planning president to begin development of a public four-year university for the region. In 1997 the CSU Board of Trustees voted to accept the former Camarillo State hospital site for the purpose of transforming it into the CSU’s 23rd campus. At this time the hospital closed. In August 1999, the Ventura Learning Center moved to the Camarillo site as a CSU Northridge satellite facility.

In 2001, the CSU Board of Trustees appointed Richard R. Rush, Ph.D., as Founding President of California State University Channel Islands. While establishing the University structures, Dr. Rush has overseen and participated in the hiring of faculty and the university’s senior staff. On August 16, 2002, CSUCI opened to upper division transfer students and in the fall of 2003, accepted its first freshman class.

The CSUCI Campus President assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan; Public Safety Staff will oversee its implementation.

12.5 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.

Item No.7D

Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 12-8

12.5.1 Existing Integration
Some level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and the following other local plans and programs:
• CSU Channel Islands Capital Improvement Plan, Facilities Plan—Incorporate new and updated hazards information relevant to the CSUCI Campus sand University Glen Neighborhood. 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.
• CSUCI Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), 2018 (pending approval)—Hazard Summary for the campus needs updating. Hazards referenced in the Ventura County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan for more specific information.
• Wildfire Reduction and Preparedness Plan—Year round recommendations for defensible space remediation and smoke intrusion into campus buildings. • Capital Improvement Plan—The capital improvement plan includes projects that can help mitigate potential hazards.
• Exterior Building Management Plan—CSU Channel Islands property maintains a comprehensive exterior and hardscape management plan, using as a guideline, the standards developed by the US Green Building’s Council’s LEED program. The plan incorporates best management practices which significantly reduce the use of harmful chemicals, energy waste, water waste, air pollution, solid waste and/or chemical runoff as compared to traditional practices

12.5.2 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:
• Climate Action Plan—Adopting a formal plan indicates the institution’s commitment to reducing its global warming impact. Since multiple facets of an institution’s operations can help reduce emissions, developing a climate action strategy can help an institution realize its sustainability goals as well as climate targets. Currently, the Campus is in the process of writing a Climate Action Plan.
• C apital Improvement Projects—Capital improvement project proposals may take into consideration hazard risks and provide mitigation recommendations as a means of evaluating project prioritization.
• Post-Disaster Recovery Plan—The campus addresses recovery and is part of the Ventura County Long Term Recovery Group and Ventura County VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster). The campus utilizes the specific goals, objectives and processes from the Long- Term Recovery Group and VC VOAD. The campus will also utilize particular aspects that are included in the Ventura County EOP.

13.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

13.2.1 Overview
The Calleguas Municipal Water District (Calleguas, District) was formed in 1953 as voters in southern Ventura County were faced with limited local water supplies, recurring droughts, and an expanding population and economy. In 1960, Calleguas joined the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) as a way of securing water from the state water system. The District’s mission is to provide its service area with a reliable supplemental supply of regional and locally developed water in an environmentally and economically responsible manner.

Calleguas is an independent special district with 70 employees who work in Administrative Services, Engineering, Operations and Maintenance, and Resources divisions. The District operates on funding that comes primarily through operating revenues and water rates, and is supplemented by non- operating revenues and investment earnings.

Item No.7D

Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 13-2
Calleguas is governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors, which assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan. The General Manager will oversee the plan’s implementation.

13.2.2 Service Area
Calleguas is a wholesale water provider that imports and distributes water from Metropolitan through the State Water Project. A majority of the District’s water supply is treated at Metropolitan’s Jensen Treatment Facility in Granada Hills and conveyed into Calleguas’ distribution system. Calleguas does not deliver water directly to consumers, but serves high quality drinking water to 19 retail purveyors within its service area that then deliver water to residents and municipal and agricultural customers.

The District serves an area of approximately 366 square miles in southeast Ventura County and an estimated 635,000 residents, or roughly three quarters of Ventura County’s population. Communities served by Calleguas include the cities of Camarillo, Moorpark, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks; and the unincorporated areas of Bell Canyon, Camarillo Estates, Camarillo Heights, Lake Sherwood, Naval Base Ventura County, Oak Park, Santa Rosa Valley, and Somis.

Calleguas’ distribution system is made up of 140 miles of large diameter transmission pipelines, 12 potable water reservoirs, 6 potable water pump stations, 5 hydroelectric generators, 20 pressure regulating stations, and 91 service connections (turnouts). The District also owns and operates Lake Bard, an earthen open-surface reservoir, and associated water filtration plant, as well as an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) project with 18 ASR wells and an associated disinfection facility.

13.5 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.

13.5.1 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 Program—The Capital Improvement Program includes projects that can help mitigate potential hazards, as well as address the potential impacts of those hazards on operations and water supply. The District will act to ensure consistency between the HMP and Item No.7D

13. Calleguas Municipal Water District
13-9
the current and future capital improvement program. The HMP 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.
• Emergency Response Plan—The Emergency Response Plan describes procedures and operations to be executed by Calleguas staff in the event of various types of disasters or emergency situations. Response procedures and action plans, specifically for natural hazards, incorporate mitigation planning efforts recognized in the HMP in order to minimize the impacts to District facilities, infrastructure, equipment, staff, and the public. • Master Plan—The Master Plan includes projects that can help address the potential impacts of hazards on operations and water supply. The District will act to ensure consistency between the HMP and the Master Plan.
• Risk and Resilience Assessment—The Risk and Resilience Assessment identifies and evaluates hazards that present the highest risk to the District’s infrastructure and measures the resiliency of the District’s system against those hazards, including natural hazards.

Countermeasures that mitigate impacts and vulnerabilities associated with high-risk hazards are evaluated, including potential mitigation actions that are also recognized and described in the HMP.
• Urban Water Management Plan—The Urban Water Management Plan outlines and assesses long-term water resource planning as local and state supplies continually experience highly variable hydrology and impacts of climate change. Water service reliability, water use efficiency efforts, and contingency planning aspects of the Urban Water Management Plan integrate the HMP by incorporating potential mitigation actions.
• Water Supply Alternatives Study—The Water Supply Alternatives Study includes projects that can help address the potential impacts of hazards on operations and water supply. The District will act to ensure consistency between the HMP and Water Supply Alternatives Study.

13.5.2 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:
• Business Continuity Plan—The District may assess its existing Business Continuity Plan to expand the plan and update it in accordance with the HMP. • Post-Disaster Recovery Plan—The District may consider preparing a Post-Disaster Recover y Plan that would emphasize the planning goals and strategies identified in the HMP during long- term recovery efforts.
• Power Outage Response Plan—The District plans to develop an action plan specifically for responding to various types of power outages, including Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) and extended blackouts. This plan will incorporate mitigation objectives and other measures identified in the HMP.

13.6.3 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:
• Strong to severe ground shaking and liquefaction produced by an earthquake on one of many nearby faults could result in significant simultaneous damages to several assets and critical facilities across the District’s service area.
• Numerous District assets and critical facilities are located in a very high wildfire severity zone, including multiple pump stations, reservoirs, and water treatment facilities containing hazardous materials.
• Long-term statewide and regional drought could impact the District’s imported water supply and strain local water resources and emergency reserves.
• The Santa Susana Tunnel conveys imported water from Metropolitan Water District into the Calleguas distribution system. An impact to the tunnel caused by an earthquake or other natural hazard could completely cut off imported water until the tunnel is repaired or temporary infrastructure is installed.

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

14.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

14.2.1 Overview
The Casitas Municipal Water District was formed in 1952 (as the Ventura River Municipal Water District). In 1956, the Ventura River Project was authorized by Congress, which included the Robles Diversion facility on the Ventura River, the Robles Canal, and the Casitas Dam. The District is governed by a five-member Board of Directors. Funding is primarily from water rates and revenue bonds.

The Casitas Board of Directors assumes responsibility for the adoption of this plan; Casitas Municipal Water District will oversee its implementation.

14.2.2 Service Area
Casitas provides wholesale and retail water service to western Ventura County and is governed by a five-member elected Board of Directors. Communities served include the City of Ojai, Upper Ojai, the Ventura River Valley area, the City of Ventura (west of Mills Road) and the beach communities of Solimar, La Conchita, and Rincon. Originally named the Ventura River Municipal Water District in 1952, Item No.7D

Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 14-2
Casitas was formed to provide supplemental water to the agricultural communities in its service area.

The service area also includes residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Wholesale customers include the City of Ventura and several special districts and mutual water companies. Casitas has 60 full-time employees, not including those employed at the Lake Casitas Recreation Area.

Casitas’ service area covers 136 square miles of land (177 square miles including ocean area). As of December 31, 2020, Casitas had 6,130 service connections. In 2017, Casitas acquired the Ojai Water System from Golden State Water Company (GSWC); this did not increase the service area as GSWC was a wholesale customer of Casitas.

14.2.3 Assets
Table 14-2 summarizes the assets of the District and their value. Many of the District’s facilities are on land owned by the United States of America as they were acquired by the US Bureau of Reclamation; these parcels are not included in the table. Casitas operates and maintains the facilities (tanks, pump plants, etc.) on this land.

14.5 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.

14.5.1 Existing Integration
Some level of integration has already been established between local hazard mitigation planning and the following other local plans and programs:
• 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)—Mitigation projects are identified and included in the 10-year CIP. Funding may not be available each year to implement mitigation. • Emergency Response Plan (ERP)—Casitas’ ERP identifies all vulnerable facilities and includes response actions to hazards such as earthquake, wildfire, etc. • Emergency Action Plan (EAP)—The EAP prepared by the US Bureau of Reclamation is updated annually and exercises are held on a regular basis with local emergency response agencies.
• Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP)—The UWMP describes the District’s water supplies and demands, and identifies water supply projects to mitigate drought • Water Efficiency Allocation Program—The Water Efficiency Allocation Program includes implementation of water conservation goals depending on the level of Lake Casitas to assist with drought mitigation.

14.5.2 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. • 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.

14.6.2 Hazard Risk Ranking
Table 14-10 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 14-10. Hazard Risk Ranking
Rank Hazard Risk Ranking Score Risk Category
1 Landslide 39 High
2 Severe Storms 35 High
3 Earthquake 32 High
4 Drought 30 High
4 Severe Weather 30 High
6 Wildfire 24 Medium
7 Flooding 18 Medium
8 Dam Failure 12 Low
9 Sea Level Rise 8 Low
10 Tsunami 7 Low
To develop the Risk Ranking Score for Casitas, first the scores for each category for City of Ojai, City of Ventura, and Unincorporated Ventura County were averaged. Next, for categories for which Casitas has specific experience and damages, the scores were adjusted to be more representative for Casitas’ Item No.7D

14. Casitas Municipal Water District
14-9
service area and facilities. This specifically applies to the scores for Dam Failure, Drought, Severe Storms, and Severe Weather for the following reasons:
• Dam Failure—The average score was 16 and was adjusted to 12. Casitas Dam is owned by the US Bureau of Reclamation. The original dam was constructed in 1959 and a seismic stability berm was constructed in 1998. The dam is monitored regularly and has an extremely low chance of failure.
• Drought—The average score was 9 and was adjusted to 30. Casitas is particularly vulnerable to drought as all water sources are local and dependent on weather. As of October 25, 2021, Lake Casitas is at 33% capacity. If no inflows are received, this represents approximately five years of supply for customer demands. Casitas is currently in Stage 3 of its Water Efficiency Allocation Program and will reevaluate this stage after the 2021/22 winter season. In the event lake capacity is reduced to 30% or less, Casitas would implement Stage 4 of the Water Efficiency Allocation Program.
• Severe Storms—The average score was 24 and was adjusted to 35. Due to the topography and geographic location of District facilities, specifically pipelines in canyons and the Robles Diversion Facility adjacent to the Ventura River, damage from severe storms has been significant.
• Severe Weather—The average score was 24 and was adjusted to 30. Severe rain causes erosion and landslides where District pipelines are located. Severe hot weather increases evaporation at Lake Casitas as well as customer water demands.

14.6.3 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:
• Over the past 60 years, the Rincon 2(M) Main, an 18-inch pipeline through mountainous terrain serving the coastal communities, has been washed out by severe storms/landslides, requiring multiple replacement and relocation projects.
• The District’s Marion Walker Pressure Filtration Plant, Administration Building/Operations Center and 19 water storage tanks are in need of seismic assessment and potential retrofits. • Lake Casitas relies on local water sources and is at 33% capacity as of October 2021. The ongoing drought has strained both surface water diversions and groundwater supplies. • The Robles Diversion Facility has required several rehabilitation projects due to severe flooding along the Ventura River in 1969, 1973, 1978, 1980, 1995, and 1998 and was damaged in the Thomas Fire.
• The Thomas Fire impacted multiple District facilities resulting in a nearly $700,000 FEMA claim.

Rented mobile generators were used to power pump plants when electrical lines burned. • The Marion Walker Pressure Filtration Plant, located at the base of Casitas Dam, is at risk of flooding from Coyote Creek, which would impact potable water treatment to all 65,000 District customers.

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

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.

Item No.7D

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.

15.3 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.

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.

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
Rank Hazard Risk Ranking Score Risk Category
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.

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, Item No.7D

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.

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.

Item No.7D

Ventura County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 17-6

17.5.2 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 did not identify any plans or programs that do not currently integrate hazard mitigation information but provide opportunities to do so in the future.

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 w
ildfires within the region. Additionally, the District facilities are used as evacuation centers where that District staff monitor emergency operations.

18.4 CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
This section describes an assessment of existing capabilities for implementing hazard mitigation strategies.

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.

Item No.7D

18. Pleasant Valley Recreation & Park District

• 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.

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.

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 Item No.7D

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.

19.6.2 Hazard Risk Ranking
Table 19-10 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 19-10. Hazard Risk Ranking
Rank Hazard Risk Ranking Score Risk Category
1 Earthquake 36 High
1 Flooding 36 High
2 Landslide 24 Medium
2 Dam Failure 24 Medium
2 Severe Weather 24 Medium
2 Severe Storms 24 Medium
3 Wildfire 15 Low
3 Sea Level Rise 15 Low
3 Tsunami 15 Low
4 Drought 9 Low

19.6.3 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:
• With 80% of the District’s facilities underground (wastewater pipelines, storage tanks), the Risk Ranking Score for earthquake was elevated from the County level of 24 to 36. • Structural stability for the above ground facilities and piping to retard flooding damage.

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