BACKGROUND:

OVERVIEW:

In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the City of Twentynine Palms (City) had 28,158 residents.

Up 3,051 residents, or 12%, since 2010, the City encompasses 58.8 square miles. The City’s various spheres of influence (located east, southeast, and northwest of the City) add an additional 30.5 square miles (U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 and City of Twentynine Palms, 2021). Located within the Mojave Desert in the southeastern portion of San Bernardino County, groundwater is the only source of potable water.

NEED:

Page 11 of 139 ends

Nitrate contamination from septic discharges may be dampened by long travel times through thick unsaturated zones, and subsequent storage of high-nitrate water in the unsaturated zone (Izbicki, Flint and others, 2015). Previous work in Yucca Valley if showed nitrate from septic discharges stored in the unsaturated zone, could be rapidly mobilized due to the infiltration of artificial recharge and subsequent rising groundwater (Nishikawa and others, 2003; Izbicki, Flint, and others, 2015; Stamos and others, 2013).

Since the City relies heavily on onsite water treatment systems (OWTS; or septic) to treat and dispose of sewage and there is concern that the use of these OWTS could degrade groundwater quality as the local population grows. Thus, it is important to understand the geohydrologic processes that will influence how the City will manage its future wastewater.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this Project will be to better characterize the geohydrologic and geochemical conditions in aquifers near the City of Twentynine Palms to support water-quality management decisions. Specific geohydrologic conditions evaluated include depth-dependent aquifer water-levels and hydrologic properties, and aquifer recharge from natural sources and onsite water treatment system discharges.

Specific geochemical conditions evaluated include the contributions of nitrate from onsite water treatment system discharges and contributions of arsenic and fluoride from natural (geogenic) sources on local groundwater quality.

Additionally, this work will:
1) Refine the hydrogeologic understanding of the area, including how subsurface features contribute to the structure of the groundwater basins and contribute to local water-quality concerns. 2) Establish well sites for long-term monitoring of local groundwater levels and quality.

SCOPE:

The scope of this Project involves the following activities:

1. Collect and review existing geohydrologic data.

2. Determine baseline water quality.

3. Model aquifer properties and estimate quantity and quality of water being pumped from different depths of the aquifer using depth-dependent sampling methods, well-bore flow logging and analyze.

4. Collect surface geophysical data and develop alluvial thickness and depth to basement models.

5. Install a multiple-well monitoring site for site-specific and depth-dependent water-quality and water-level monitoring.

6. Install piezometers and lysimeters to evaluate nitrate loads and transformations in the unsaturated zone.

7. Estimate septic discharge and nutrient flux into the local groundwater system.

8. Evaluate borehole cuttings for presence of arsenic and fluoride containing minerals and identify aquifer lithologies that may contribute arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms subbasin.

9. Estimate basin recharge using the Basin Characterization Model and sediment cores.

METHODOLOGY:

To refine the hydrogeologic understanding of the area, including how subsurface features contribute to the structure of the groundwater basins and contribute to local water-quality concerns, this Project will begin with collecting and reviewing existing geohydrologic data in the Study area. Water quality will then be collected at local production wells in order to establish baseline conditions for the study. Borehole

Page 12 of 139 ends

geophysics and depth-dependent water quality will also be collected and analyzed to estimate and model local aquifer properties.

Surface geophysical data will also be collected in order to estimate alluvial thicknesses and identify subsurface geological features. This information will be used to pick sites for installation of a multiplewell monitoring site that will be used for site-specific and depth-dependent water-quality and water-level monitoring. The geophysical data will also be used to select sites for installation of piezometers and lysimeters near high and low-density septic fields for evaluation of nitrate loads and transformations in the unsaturated zone.

Septic discharge and nutrient flux into the local groundwater system will also be evaluated. Cuttings from these boreholes will also be evaluated for presence of arsenic and fluoride containing minerals and identify aquifer lithologies that may contribute arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms subbasin.

Finally, the Basin Characterization model will be used to identify areas where groundwater recharge may be occurring. Cores will be collected in these areas and the cuttings will be evaluated for chlorides and matric potential in order to assess the potential for chemical transport through the unsaturated zone.

TIMING:

The USGS estimates the Study will take five years to complete.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

This Study is an environmental study.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose to adjust, change, delete, or reject this proposal.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City has tentative Congressional approval for the following amounts:

Fiscal Year 2022: Amount: $663,224. Source: Environmental Protection Agency, STAG-Clean Water SRF. “The City of Twentynine Palms for a Wastewater Treatment Facility Phase II Project” Fiscal Year 2023: Amount: $1,275,000. Source: Environmental Protection Agency, STAG-Clean Water SRF. “City of Twentynine Palms Wastewater Treatment Facility Phase III” A technical correction is underway to reallocate the Fiscal Year 2022 and Fiscal Year 2023 funds.

Subject to Congressional approval, these funds will be combined and used for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) study.

The full cost of the Study is $2,330,289.00. The cost to the City is anticipated to be offset by a (i) Fiscal Year 2022 EPA grant ($663,224), (ii) Fiscal Year 2023 EPA grant ($1,275,000) and (iii) USGS contribution ($192,792).

The short fall of $199,273.00 (Total cost: $2,330,289-$663,224-$1,275,000-$192,792=$199,273.00) may be further offset by a $100,000 contribution from the Twentynine Palms Water District. Depending on total Study costs over the five-year study life, the Twentynine Palms Water District is open to contributing additional funds (up to $200,000) in future years. At this point, the total Study cost to the City is projected at $99,273.00 unless offset by additional grants, fee waivers, or Twentynine Palms Water District contributions. Page 13 of 139

Evaluation of geohydrologic conditions and geochemical conditions in Twentynine Palms, California California Water Science Center, Southwest Region
Proposal # 2022-03 SUMMARY
Cooperator: City of Twentynine Palms
Prepared by: Meghan Dick, Christina Stamos, John Izbicki, and Joseph Fackrell

PROBLEM
Twentynine Palms, California is in a remote desert area and groundwater is the only source of potable water.

Groundwater recharge from precipitation is small or negligible in arid areas and septic discharges may be an important source of recharge to underlying aquifers (Stamos and others, 2013). In arid environments, dilution of septic discharge from infiltration of precipitation is scant, leaving only dilution with shallow groundwater or denitrification to mitigate nitrate associated with septic discharges. Nitrate contamination from septic discharges may be dampened by long travel times through thick unsaturated zones, and subsequent storage of high-nitrate water in the unsaturated zone (Izbicki, Flint and others, 2015). Previous work in Yucca Valley, Calif. showed nitrate from septic discharges stored in the unsaturated zone could be rapidly mobilized due to the infiltration of artificial recharge and subsequent rising groundwater (Nishikawa and others, 2003; Izbicki, Flint, and others, 2015; Stamos and others, 2013). Twentynine Palms (The City) relies heavily on onsite water treatment systems (OWTS; septic) to treat and dispose of sewage and there is concern that the use of these OWTS could degrade groundwater quality as the local population grows. Thus, it is important to understand the geohydrologic processes that will influence how the city will manage its future wastewater.

Li and Martin (2011) showed that groundwater levels in parts of the Mesquite subbasin have been declining because the amount of pumpage exceeds natural recharge; this has resulted in increasing concentrations of arsenic, fluoride, chromium, nitrates, and dissolved solids due to less groundwater availability for diluting contaminants. Therefore, groundwater quality has become a water-management issue particularly in regard to meeting the U.S. State of California maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for drinking water for arsenic (10 micrograms per liter (µg/L)), fluoride (2 milligrams per liter (mg/L)), chromium (50 µg/L), and nitrates (10 mg/L) (https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinkingwater/documents/ccr/mcls_epa_vs_dwp.pdf).

Elevated fluoride levels are widespread across the Twentynine Palms Water District (TPWD) service area, especially in the Twentynine Palms subbasin where a fluoride removal plant is in operation to treat local groundwater prior to use as a source of public supply (Kennedy Jenks, 2021). Arsenic and chromium concentrations are also of concern and treatment systems for both constituents will likely need to be installed.

OBJECTIVES and SCOPE
The overall purpose of this project will be to better characterize the geohydrologic and geochemical conditions in aquifers near the City of Twentynine Palms to support water-quality management decisions. Specific geohydrologic conditions evaluated include depth-dependent aquifer water-levels and hydrologic properties, and aquifer recharge from natural sources and onsite water treatment system discharges. Specific geochemical conditions evaluated include the contributions of nitrate from onsite water treatment system discharges and contributions of arsenic and fluoride from natural (geogenic) sources on local groundwater quality. Additionally, this work will:
1) Refine the hydrogeologic understanding of the area, including how subsurface features contribute to the structure of the groundwater basins and contribute to local water-quality concerns. 2) Establish well sites for long-term monitoring of local groundwater levels and quality.

RELEVANCE and BENEFITS
This project is based on a direct need for the City to better understand the sources and processes that control concentrations of regulated contaminants in the groundwater basins that serve its population. USGS expertise in complex hydrologic concepts such as surface water-groundwater connectivity, geochemical evaluation of water and nutrient source identification, and groundwater age dating provide a means to serve the needs of the City efficiently.

2 The work proposed will support the goals outlined by the current USGS Water Science Strategy Circular 1383-G (Evenson and others, 2013), as follows:

1. Provide Society the Information It Needs Regarding the Amount and Quality of Water in All Components of the Water Cycle at High Temporal and Spatial Resolution, Nationwide, by the advancement of monitoring networks and techniques for hydrologic and water-quality data and the assessment of water resources and their suitability to meet human needs

2. Advance Understanding of Processes that Determine Water Availability, by the comprehensive understanding of geological controls of water availability, and understanding human interactions with water availability Additionally, the work proposed will support the current CAWSC list of Priorities for Project Relevance and Benefits as follows:

1. Statewide streamflow and groundwater monitoring - We see an additional need for long-term groundwater monitoring, including “super gages” to better understand stream-aquifer interaction and the effects of conjunctive use on water resources and quality.

2. Groundwater availability and use - With the implementation of California’s 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), we see increasing demand for USGS engagement both at the State Level (with the California Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control Board) and with local agencies that are required to develop Sustainability Plans.

3. Expanded groundwater quality work – One of the sustainability goals of SGMA is to achieve and maintain good groundwater quality. Through its statewide GAMA and COGG programs, the CAWSC is recognized as the “goto” government science agency for complex groundwater quality issues. We expect that our expertise will be required to help State and Local agencies comply with the groundwater quality aspects of SGMA.

7. Expansion of targeted water-quality assessments - E.g., mercury, chromium, pesticides, nutrients, recycled water, harmful algal blooms.

STRATEGY AND APPROACH
In order to refine the hydrogeologic understanding of the area, including how subsurface features contribute to the structure of the groundwater basins and contribute to local water-quality concerns, this project will begin with collecting and reviewing existing geohydrologic data in the study area. Water quality will then be collected at local production wells in order to establish baseline conditions for the study. Borehole geophysics and depth-dependent water quality will also be collected and analyzed to estimate and model local aquifer properties. Surface geophysical data will also be collected in order to estimate alluvial thicknesses and identify subsurface geological features. This information will be used to pick sites for installation of a multiple-well monitoring site that will be used for site-specific and depth-dependent water-quality and water-level monitoring. The geophysical data will also be used to select sites for installation of piezometers and lysimeters near high and low-density septic fields for evaluation of nitrate loads and transformations in the unsaturated zone. Septic discharge and nutrient flux into the local groundwater system will also be evaluated. Cuttings from these boreholes will also be evaluated for presence of arsenic and fluoride containing minerals and identify aquifer lithologies that may contribute arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms subbasin. Finally, the Basin Characterization model will be used to identify areas where groundwater recharge may be occurring. Cores will be collected in these areas and the cuttings will be evaluated for chlorides and matric potential in order to assess the potential for chemical transport through the unsaturated zone. The results of this work will be synthesized in a USGS Scientific Investigations Report, data releases, and a project webpage.

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION
The study area consists of the City of Twentynine Palms and surrounding unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County in the southwestern Mojave Desert of California, about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, California (fig. 1) and is within the Mesquite Lake and Fortynine Palms Canyon-Shortz Lake watersheds. The underlying groundwater basins are

Page 18 of 139 ends

3 the Twentynine Palms Valley (basin 7-010) and the Joshua Tree (basin 7-062), which are separated by the Pinto Mountain Fault, and a small area of the Dale Valley (California Department of Water Resources, 2021; basin 7-009); this area will not be included in this study. Nishikawa and others (2004) and Li and Martin (2011) further divided the Twentynine Palms Valley groundwater basin into the Mesquite and Mainside subbasins and divided the Joshua Tree groundwater basin into the Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms subbasins.

The Mesquite subbasin is recharged primarily from groundwater underflow from the adjacent groundwater basins.

Some runoff from the Little San Bernardino and Pinto Mountains recharges the Mesquite subbasin when streamflow infiltrates the washes that reaches the subbasin during storm events; some recharge also occurs from groundwater underflow resulting from the infiltration of streamflow in the Twentynine Palms subbasin (Nishikawa and others, 2004). Within the City limits, the terrain is primarily younger alluvial deposits of quaternary age bordered by the Pinto Mountains along the southern edge of the Joshua Tree groundwater basin. Li and Martin (2011) developed a 3D geologic framework for the Mesquite and Mainside subbasins. A north to south cross section through the Deadman and Mesquite subasins (fig. 2; Li and Martin, 2011, fig. 4D) shows a thin upper aquifer and 500 feet thick middle aquifer composed of Quaternary and Tertiary alluvial fan deposits and a lower aquifer more than 1,500 feet thick, composed of tertiary older sedimentary deposits. A west to east cross section in the northern part of Mesquite subbasin shows (fig. 3; Li and Martin, 2011, fig. 4B) shows the Surprise Spring, Elkins, and Mesquite faults subdividing the basin into zones with distinct groundwater table elevations. Less is known about the subsurface in the Joshua Tree groundwater basin.

In 2004, Nishikawa and others published a geohydrologic framework for the Joshua Tree Subbasin, which is divided from the Twentynine Palms subbasin by an unnamed fault. The western 5 miles of the Twentynine Palms subbasin was included in the geologic model and indicates a three-aquifer system, similar to the Mesquite subbasin (Nishikawa and others, 2004, fig. 6B). Gravity data from a variety of sources was analyzed by Roberts and others (2002) to generate maps of gravity data and an analysis of basin depths in the Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms area. The gravity interpretations all show an east-west linear basin parallel to the Pinto Mountain Fault, however the various gravity models used indicate the deepest basin depth may be anywhere from 2000 to 6000 feet below land surface. Gravity data points are sparse in the Twentynine Palms Subbasin and the current models don’t cover the easternmost parts of the basin.

The population of the City of Twentynine Palms (City) was about 28,000 in 2020 and has grown by about 12 percent since the last census in 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2021). The City’s municipal limits encompass 58.8 square miles and

30.5 square miles of unincorporated area around its boundary and have been designated as part of the City’s “sphere of influence” for future expansion (City of Twentynine Palms, 2021). The local land use is primarily rural, low-density residential and light commercial. The Twentynine Palms Water District (TPWD) is a separate entity that provides drinking water to the broader community. Groundwater withdrawn from the Mesquite and Twentynine Palms subbasins is the primary source of drinking water for the community. There are no sanitary sewer connections in the City, so onsite water treatment systems (OWTS), commonly known as septic systems, serve as the sole means of wastewater disposal and provide an unknown quantity of groundwater recharge. The City and the TPWD are collaborating to develop a Wastewater Management Plan that will provide a blueprint for a centralized sewercollection system and wastewater treatment plant to replace aging septic systems and protect the groundwater resources.

PROBLEM
Twentynine Palms, California is in a remote desert area and groundwater is the only source of potable water.

Groundwater recharge from precipitation is small or negligible in arid areas and septic discharges may be an important source of recharge to underlying aquifers (Stamos and others, 2013).

The City relies heavily on OWTS to treat and dispose of sewage and there is concern that the use of these OWTS could degrade groundwater quality as the local population grows. Thus, it is important to understand the geohydrologic processes that will influence how the city will manage its future wastewater.

2) Determine baseline water quality.
3) Model aquifer properties and estimate quantity and quality of water being pumped from different depths of the aquifer using depth-dependent sampling methods, well-bore flow logging and AnalyzeHOLE. 4) Collect surface geophysical data and develop alluvial thickness and depth to basement models. 5) Install a multiple-well monitoring site for site-specific and depth-dependent water-quality and water-level monitoring.
6) Install piezometers and lysimeters to evaluate nitrate loads and transformations in the unsaturated zone. 7) Estimate septic discharge and nutrient flux into the local groundwater system. 8) Evaluate borehole cuttings for presence of arsenic and fluoride containing minerals and identify aquifer lithologies that may contribute arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms subbasin. 9) Estimate basin recharge using the Basin Characterization Model and sediment cores.

APPROACH
Task 1. Review of Existing Geohydrologic Data
Existing geologic, geophysical, geochemical, hydrologic, and modeled data will be reviewed to refine the hydrogeologic understanding of the area. Any data collected by the City and the TPWD, or other sources, will be incorporated with historical data available in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Inventory System (NWIS) data base and published reports, such as Izbicki, Teague and others (2015), Li and Martin (2011) and Nishikawa and others (2004).

Task 2. Baseline Water Quality
There are 7 active production wells serving the City and surrounding areas (wells TPWD-WTP-1, TPWD-11B, TPWD-12, TPWD-14, TPWD-15, TPWD-16, TPWD-17; fig. 1). The TPWD operates these wells and collects water-quality samples annually. The USGS will collect additional water-quality samples from these active production wells to establish baseline water-quality chemistry (table 1). The samples will be collected by USGS field crews using methods described by Wilde, 2016 and U.S. Geological Survey (variously dated). Measurements of field parameters (Table 1) will be made at the time of sample collection. The samples will be analyzed for major and minor ions, selected trace elements (including fluoride, chromium, and arsenic), nutrients (including nitrate), dissolved organic carbon, and the stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen (δ18O and δD, respectively). Indicators of groundwater age will also be collected, including carbon-14 and tritium. Laboratories and quality assurance procedures used for analyses of these samples are discussed later in this proposal.

Water chemistry data will be compared to historic and regional water chemistry data published by Christensen and Fields-Garand (2001) and Metzger and others (2015). Isotopic and groundwater age data will be compared to historic and regional data published by Izbicki (2004) and Izbicki and Michel (2004). Groundwater chemistry data will be used to evaluate the suitability of water from wells for public supply with respect to nitrate, arsenic, fluoride, and other constituents. Groundwater chemistry, isotopic, and age-dating data will be used to determine the regional source(s), flow path(s) (task 4), and age(s) of water from wells to understand the characteristics of the groundwater-flow system.

Task 3. Well-bore Flow Logging and Depth-Dependent Water-Quality Sampling Chemical concentrations in water samples collected from the surface discharge of long-screened production wells are representative of the mixture of water that entered the well’s screen from different depths. Samples collected within the well under pumped conditions (depth-dependent samples), when coupled with well-bore-flow log (velocity) data, can be used to estimate the quality and quantity of water entering a well from selected depths within an aquifer. These data can aid in interpreting the hydraulic and chemical characteristics of aquifers with depth that contribute water to a given production well.

The TPWD routinely removes the pumps from production wells for maintenance purposes. Depth-dependent waterquality data and well-bore-flow logs will be collected from one selected TPWD production wells during this study.

While the production pump is removed, the wells are accessible for geophysical logging and depth-dependent sample collection. A temporary pump will be installed to facilitate the testing once the production pump is removed. Costs provided are for a 100 gallon per minute (gpm) temporary pump installed by USGS field crews. The cost may increase if a larger capacity pump is required for the test.

Geophysical logs to be collected within the well once the production pump is removed include caliper, natural gamma, fluid resistivity, fluid temperature, and well-bore flow logs. Geophysical logs will be collected from the well under unpumped and pumped conditions using the temporary pump. Well-bore-flow logs (dynamic logs) will be collected at downward trolling rates of 5, 10, and 15 feet per minute (ft/min) under unpumped and pumped conditions. Data from the different trolling logs will be used for calibration purposes. Fully calibrated logs are generally accurate within ±6 percent (Izbicki, Teague, and others, 2015). Well-bore-flow logs (stationary logs or stop counts) also will be collected under unpumped and pumped conditions from specific depths within the well to confirm trolling log data.

Water-quality samples (including field-parameters, fluoride, chromium, arsenic, and the stable isotopes of water δ18O and δD) will be collected from depths within the well determined based on the geophysical-log data under pumped conditions. The chemistry of water entering the well from different depths within the aquifer will be calculated based on well-bore flow and depth-dependent samples collected within the well under pumped conditions using methods described by Izbicki and others (1999). Samples from the surface discharge of the temporary pump and from the deepest depth selected within the well will be analyzed for a more complete set of constituents including groundwater age-dating constituents (tritium and carbon-14).

Well-bore flow logs and water-chemistry data will be evaluated to understand flow and redistribution of chemical constituents through the well under unpumped and pumped conditions. Additional analyses will be proposed if warranted.

Work described in this proposal assumes that water generated during logging and sampling will be disposed of on-site.

Costs associated with this task are for one well; equivalent work at a second selected TPWD production well will be performed if sufficient funding becomes available.

Task 4. Well-bore Flow and Transport Model
Well-bore flow and depth-dependent water quality data collected in Task 3 will be used in the computer program AnalyzeHOLE (Halford, 2009) to estimate changes in the quality of water yielded by a well over time as the distribution of flow into the changes as water levels decline, or as poor-quality water associated with septic discharges accumulates at the water table. AnalyzeHOLE integrates readily available groundwater flow and particle tracking models in a comprehensive tool for analyzing flow-logs, drawdowns, and water-quality changes.

Two commonly used methods to reduce contaminant concentrations in water from public-supply wells are treatment at the surface discharge or blending of high-contaminant concentration waters with water from another source having lower contaminant concentrations. Another method is modification of the well to exclude water from depths having

Page 23 of 139 ends

8 undesirable concentrations of contaminants (Izbicki and others, 2008; Halford and others, 2010). Well-bore scale simulations can be used to estimate aquifer hydraulic properties and predict changes in well-bore flow and water quality through time that may limit sustainable pumping from the well as water levels decline. Simulation results can indicate if well modification would be an effective approach to ensuring water quality meets the MCLs set by the State of California and the EPA and may indicate when more expensive treatment methods need to be installed to ensure the quality of water from wells is suitable for public supply.

Task 5. Surface-Geophysical Data Collection
Surface geophysical surveys will be done to assess and refine the understanding of the subsurface structural boundaries of the subbasins in the vicinity of the City. These surveys will include gravity data and the collection of selected surface-geophysical data using other methods.

Gravity-data collection will include about 100 field relative gravity measurements. Subsurface-density variation caused by vertical offsets in basement material, changes in alluvial thickness, and differences in water-table altitude across ground-water barriers can be detected using standard gravity analysis techniques. Data will initially be collected in a gridded pattern to characterize large-scale subsurface structural features within the groundwater basin. Data will be used to generate a residual gravity anomaly map showing subsurface density variation. Areas with high gravity gradients likely indicate locations of vertical offsets in basement or changes in the water table across faults. Based on the initial gravity-data collection and existing geologic data, additional surficial-gravity data may be collected at a finer scale along selected cross-sections near structural features identified within the basin. These areas will be targeted for further investigation using more detailed surface-geophysical techniques, discussed below. In addition to the gravity anomaly map, personnel from the USGS Geology, Mineral, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center will process available gravity data to develop alluvial thickness and depth to (gravity) basement maps of the study area using well logs to ‘ground truth’ the results.

If sufficient funding is available and conditions are suitable, additional surface-geophysical data may be collected at locations identified based on surficial-gravity data using direct-current resistivity or time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) induction, depending on site conditions at the areas of interest. These more detailed data will be collected along sections developed to more fully characterize subsurface features identified in the gravity survey. Surficial gravity and detailed surficial-geophysical data will be used to identify locations for test drilling and well installation done as task 6 and 7 of this study.

Task 6. Multiple-Well Monitoring Site Installation and Data Collection (funding currently not available for this task)
A multiple-well monitoring site containing four wells within a single borehole will be installed at a location to be determined, based largely on the gravity data and any additional surface-geophysical data that is collected. The borehole will be drilled by the USGS Research Drilling Program drill rig and crew using mud-rotary techniques to a depth of approximately 1,000 ft. A suite of geophysical logs including caliper, electrical resistivity (16-in and 64-in normal), electromagnetic (EM) resistivity, natural gamma will be collected to characterize the subsurface and guide well installation. Monitoring wells within the borehole will be separated by low-permeability bentonite grout seals pumped into the borehole. Wells will be developed to remove drilling mud initially using the drill rig, with final development using an air compressor.

The lithology of drill cuttings from the well will be described using standard techniques. Additionally, the particle-size distribution of the drill cuttings will be measured optically using instruments within the San Diego office (Fritsch International, 2013). The elemental composition of drill cuttings will be measured using portable (handheld) energydispersive X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) in the San Diego Office (Groover, 2016). The pXRF has the capability to measure 27 major, minor, and trace elements. Lithologic, geophysical logs, and pXRF data will be used to evaluate differences in the elemental composition of aquifer materials with depth with respect to geologic provenance including source and depositional history. The elemental composition of aquifer materials will be compared with the elemental composition of source terranes contributing alluvium to the basin. pXRF data will be interpreted using techniques, including principal component analysis, described by Groover and Izbicki (2019) to determine the geologic provenance (source) of aquifer materials and the potential for these materials to contain arsenic and other naturally occurring constituents

Page 24 of 139 ends

9 of concern. Evaluation of the potential for these materials to contribute arsenic or fluoride to groundwater is discussed in Task 9 (not currently funded).

Water-level data from the wells will be collected quarterly and the water quality will be sampled once after installation (for this study) to evaluate depth-specific water quality. Water from the wells will be sampled for field parameters, major and minor ions, selected trace elements (including arsenic, chromium, and uranium), the stable isotopes δ18O and δD, and age-dating constituents, including tritium and carbon-14 (Table 1). Costs presented within this proposal are for a single multiple-well site. Significant cost savings can be realized if drilling materials can be disposed of on-site or at an alternate site made available by the City. Additional boreholes may be drilled at the cooperator’s request if funding is available. Additional boreholes would allow characterization of depth-specific changes in water levels, aquifer properties, and groundwater chemistry (including isotopic composition and age) across subsurface features that may restrict flow within aquifers of interest.

Task 7. Nitrate Loads and Transformations in the Unsaturated Zone The hydraulic and chemical properties of the unsaturated-zone beneath residential areas with onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS: septic tanks) in the Mesquite Springs subbasin will be characterized using two unsaturatedzone monitoring sites drilled to slightly below the water table, estimated to be between 70 and 200 feet below land surface. Significant cost savings can be realized by utilizing a site with a shallower water table. The sites will be near a large and long-operating septic field and smaller, less dense septic field.

The borehole at selected sites will be drilled using the overburden drilling exploration (ODEX) method (Hammermeister and others 1986), which uses air instead of water as the drilling fluid; therefore, the water content and matric potential of the unsaturated zone (and samples collected from the unsaturated zone) are minimally altered during drilling. A suite of geophysical logs (including natural gamma, neutron, and electromagnetic-resistivity logs) will be collected from the borehole after drilling. Drill cuttings will be collected every foot to define the lithology and stratigraphy at the site.

Specific conductance measurements will be made in the field on extracts from drill cuttings. These data will help determine if there are any low-permeability layers may retard the downward movement of OWTS effluent. Perched (saturated) conditions that develop on these low permeability layers may promote reduction of nitrate if locally reduced conditions are present (Umari and others, 1993; Izbicki, Flint, and others, 2015).

Two-foot-long cores will be collected every five feet from the boreholes. Core material will be analyzed for physical properties and chemical constituents. Physical properties to be measured include gravimetric water content, bulk density, and matric potential. Physical properties will be analyzed in the USGS San Diego Office laboratory using gravimetric methods for water content and bulk density. The volumetric water content will be calculated from bulk density and gravimetric water content data. Matric potential will be measured gravimetrically using the filter paper technique (Campbell and Gee, 1986). Water extracts from cuttings will be prepared in the San Diego office and analyzed for soluble anions including chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and sulfate using ionchromatography at the NWQL (Izbicki and others, 2000). Physical property data and chemical data (nitrate and chloride concentrations) will be used to evaluate the depth of penetration of OWTS effluent in the unsaturated zone and the mass of nitrate stored within the unsaturated zone. Matric potential data will be used to confirm that OWTS effluent is draining down towards the water table. Water content data will be used with chemical data to estimate chloride and nitrate concentrations within the unsaturated zone and the concentrations of these constituents reaching the water table.

The sites will be instrumented with a water-table piezometer equipped with a submersible pressure transducer to measure water levels in the shallow saturated zone. Three suction-cup lysimeters will be installed in the unsaturated zone at the shallowest depth believed to yield water based on drilling data, just above the water table and at the water table. An additional suction-cup lysimeter will be installed in the saturated zone below the depth of the piezometer. A road-rated vault, approximately 2-by-3-ft, will enclose the borehole at land surface. Upon completion, groundwater samples will be collected from the piezometers and suction-cup lysimeters. The piezometer samples will be analyzed for major and minor ions, selected trace elements (including fluoride, chromium, and arsenic), nutrients (including nitrate), dissolved organic carbon, wastewater indicators, and the stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen. The piezometer samples also will be analyzed for the stable oxygen and nitrogen isotope ratios of nitrate (δO18-NO3 and δ15N-NO3, respectively), and for dissolved gasses (including dissolved argon and nitrogen gas) to support interpretations of nitrogen isotopic data. Samples also will be collected and analyzed for the stable nitrogen isotope

10 ratio of ammonia (δ15N-NH4, if present). Samples from the suction-cup lysimeters will be analyzed for similar constituents assuming they produce sufficient water for analyses. It may be necessary to composite water from several samples to obtain sufficient volume for analyses.

Water samples also will be collected from within the OWTS holding tank and from the OWTS discharge mechanism (assuming it can be accessed). These samples will be analyzed for the same constituents as water from the piezometers, including the stable oxygen and nitrogen isotope ratios of nitrate (if present) and the stable nitrogen isotope ratio of ammonia. Samples from the OWTS holding tank and discharge will be compared with data from the water-table piezometer to determine nitrogen losses within the unsaturated and upper part of the saturated zone.

Data will be compared to similar data collected elsewhere in the Mojave Desert (Umari and others, 1993; Izbicki, Flint, and others, 2015) to evaluate the representativeness of the site and processes that act to remove nitrate from OWTS discharges. The mass of nitrate stored within the unsaturated zone will be compared to literature values for similar settings and evaluated with respect to the age and density of the septic system and the magnitude of septic discharges (estimated in the following section) to evaluate how nitrate presently stored within the unsaturated zone may impact future water quality within the basin.

Task 8. Estimates of Septic-Tank Discharge and Nutrient Flux Within the Twentynine Palms area there are no large-scale public wastewater treatment systems and businesses and residences typically rely on private OWTS to treat wastewater. These OWTS can contribute to water quality issues in groundwater basins when wastewater is discharged into the ground. Estimates will be made of septic tank discharge using land use, population, and infrastructure data (Izbicki and others, 2015). The timing of residential development, the age of septic tanks, and the timing of septic discharges in the area will be estimated. These data will be used with other data collected during the study to investigate and estimate nutrient flux into the local groundwater systems due to the use of OWTS. The results from Izbicki, Flint, and others (2015) will be adapted to this area to estimate the lag in recharge from more recently installed OWTS and the lag in the water table drainage from existing OWTS to the water table.

Task 9. Arsenic and Fluoride Within Aquifer Materials and Groundwater (funding currently not available for this task)
In groundwater worldwide, arsenic and fluoride are the two geogenic (naturally occurring) contaminants of greatest public-health concern (World Health organization, 2006; Johnson and others, 2017). Although arsenic concentrations in the surface discharge of public supply wells are less than the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 micrograms per liter (µg/L; Metzger and others, 2015), some intervals penetrated by wells may contain arsenic concentrations that exceed the MCL. The MCL set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for fluoride is 4 milligrams per liter (mg/L) while the State of California set the MCL at 2 mg/L. Fluoride concentrations in water from wells in the Twentynine Palms area can exceed 5 mg/L (Metzger and others, 2015) and is of concern to local water purveyors. The TPWD is currently required to remove fluoride from water pumped from the Twentynine Palms Valley groundwater basin and has been granted a temporary variance for water produced in the Joshua Tree groundwater basin. Highfluoride concentrations in groundwater may result from a combination of geologic source materials, aqueous geochemistry, and hydrologic factors that include the migration of fluid from underlying aquifer zones near faults.

Worldwide, the most common arsenic-containing mineral is arsenopyrite (Smedley and Kinniburgh, 2002). Common fluoride-containing minerals include fluorite and fluorapatite (Dixon and Weed, 1989). These minerals are dense with specific gravities of 3.2 or greater. Arsenopyrite has a metallic luster and fluorite and fluorapatite fluoresces blue under ultraviolet (UV) light. Drill cuttings and samples of surficial alluvium will be sorted by density to isolate the heavy (dense) mineral fraction. The heavy mineral fraction will be examined optically and hand-sorted to obtain arsenopyrite and fluorite mineral grains. The morphology of these mineral grains will be examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify features consistent with weathering (dissolution pits and weathering rinds). The elemental composition of the minerals of interest will be obtained using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) interfaced with the SEM. Mineralogic and SEM data will be evaluated with respect to mineral saturation indexes calculated using the computer program PHREEQC (Parkhurst and others, 2013) to determine if arsenic-containing and fluoride-containing minerals are dissolving within the aquifer, thereby releasing these constituents, or if these constituents are derived from other sources such as fluid movement from underlying aquifer zones.

Page 26 of 139 ends

11 pXRF data from drill cuttings collected as part of this study and from surficial alluvium samples will be collected to evaluate geologic source terrains that may have contributed arsenic and fluoride to aquifer materials. Arsenic data will be compared with regional surface-sorptive chemistry to evaluate surface-sorptive processes that may control arsenic concentrations in groundwater under differing pH and redox conditions. These data will be used with existing geologic data, and subsurface geologic, geophysical (Groover and Izbicki, 2018; Izbicki and others, in review), and geochemical data collected as part of this study to identify areas and aquifer lithologies that may contribute high concentrations of arsenic and fluoride to wells in the Twentynine Palms area.

Task 10. Estimates of Basin Recharge
Groundwater recharge occurs as the result of infiltration of water through the unsaturated zone or movement from one aquifer to another. The Joshua Tree groundwater basin is isolated from other nearby groundwater basins by the Yucca barrier to the west and the Pinto Mountain Fault to the east and receives limited amounts of mountain-front recharge from the Pinto Mountains. Groundwater recharge from precipitation is small or non-existent in this arid area, leaving recharge from septic discharge and mountain-fronts as primary sources of recharge in the basin. The quantification and tracking of recharged water are important to understanding the source of constituents in groundwater and the spatial trends in groundwater quality. The Basin Characterization Model (BCM; Flint and others, 2021) provides natural recharge estimates based on a monthly, gridded, regional water-balance model; the results provide an estimate of the spatial distribution of recharge across the basins over time that can be used to assess the potential for chemical transport through the unsaturated zone. (Funding currently not available for this sub- task) BCM may overestimate groundwater recharge from mountain front processes in desert areas (Faunt and others, 2015). Field data will be compared with BCM simulation results to constrain estimates of groundwater recharge calculated using BCM. Field data to constrain BCM estimates of recharge will be collected from four shallow borings to about 50 feet below land surface within selected washes. Two washes will be identified, and an upstream and downstream core site will be selected in each wash. These sites will be identified from areas identified by the BCM as potential recharge sites. Cuttings from these cores will be analyzed for chloride and matric potential using techniques discussed previously. The concentration of chlorides at various depths within each core will be used along with water potential measurements to indicate where mountain front recharge is occurring and if it is penetrating to below the root zone and ultimately to below the water table. Comparisons of BCM estimates of ground water recharge with field data will be used to determine if recharge from infiltration of streamflow occurs along selected stream reaches and if BCM estimates of recharge need to be modified.

Task 11. Data Documentation, Reporting, Interpretation, and Publications Well-construction data, borehole-geophysical logs, water-quality data (including extractions from core material and cuttings) will be publicly available in on-line USGS data repositories, such as the National Water Information System (NWIS; https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis) and GeoLog Locator (https://webapps.usgs.gov/geologlocator/#!/). Reporting will include creating and maintaining a project web page, which will show study progress and be a centralized location to access the data collected during the study. It will provide direct links to access the data on NWIS and ScienceBase (https://www.sciencebase.gov), where a data release describing the well construction data, surface-geophysical data and well-bore model will reside.

An interpretive report describing the physical and hydrologic characteristics of the Twentynine Palms groundwater basin, groundwater chemistry within the basin, and nitrate loads and transformations of the unsaturated zone associated with OWTS discharges will be prepared and published as a USGS Scientific Investigation Report. It will include evaluation of the data collected to evaluate the presence of high concentrations of arsenic and fluoride known to be present within the study area. The report will focus on present-day conditions, including estimates of present-day groundwater recharge and the age of water from wells with respect to the sustainability of groundwater withdrawals from the basin.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
Water-quality data collection from groundwater sampling locations will follow the policies described in the Quality Assurance Plan for Water Quality Activities of the California Water Science Center. Quality control (QC) samples will include equipment blanks, field blanks, and sequential replicate samples. The number of quality-assurance samples will be about 15 percent of the number of water-quality samples collected for this study. As the number of water-quality

Page 27 of 139 ends

12 samples may vary, dependent on a number of factors including access to sampling locations, time available for sampling, and changes in scope following initial data collection and analysis, the exact number of blank and replicate samples is currently estimated. Blank samples will be collected using blank water certified by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL). Field blanks will be collected at the field site under the same conditions as environmental samples. Data will be documented and released according to the Open Data policies. Water level data will be reviewed according to USGS policies and procedures and as described in the CAWSC Quality-Assurance Plan for Groundwater Activities, prior to archival in NWIS.

Water-quality sampling will be designed and executed following procedures described in the Quality Assurance Plan for Water Quality Activities of the California Water Science Center. Field measurements of temperature, pH, specific conductance, and alkalinity (Table 1) will be recorded and entered into NWIS. Samples will be processed following techniques described in the USGS National Field Manual (USGS, variously dated). Constituents for sampling and laboratory analysis include: DOC, nutrients, silica, select major/minor ions and trace elements, and carbon-14 age dating (NWQL); water isotopes, nitrate isotopes, and tritium (USGS Stable Isotope Lab, Reston, VA). Environmental water-quality samples collected will be added for quality control purposes based on the current understanding of the quality of the data. These samples will include equipment blanks, field blanks, and sequential replicates, and will be targeted for selected analyte groups as needed.

DOC, nutrient, and trace element results from the NWQL will be reviewed in context with project QC samples (blanks and replicates) to determine whether sampling procedures biased any results. Any environmental samples >10% different from replicate samples will be considered for rejection if the source of the difference cannot be identified.

Any environmental samples associated with blank hits over two times the laboratory reporting level will be qualified prior to approval or rejected. In addition, nutrient blind samples analyzed at the NWQL by the Quality Systems Branch (QSB) will be utilized to evaluate laboratory performance over the project and any samples analyzed during a timeframe when the laboratory may have introduced bias of ±5 percent will be re-analyzed if possible or rejected if reruns at NWQL are not possible due to holding time violations.

Stable isotope results from the Reston Stable Isotope Lab (RSIL) will be reviewed in context with project QC samples (blanks and replicates) to determine if sampling procedures biased any results. Any environmental samples >10% different from replicate samples will be considered for rejection if the source of the difference cannot be identified. In addition, daily reference waters stored in LIMS-LSI will be utilized to evaluate laboratory performance and samples analyzed during a timeframe when the laboratory may have introduced bias of ±5 percent will be re-analyzed if possible or rejected if reruns at the RSIL are not possible due to holding time violations. Tritium and carbon isotopes results will be reviewed in context with replicate QC samples to determine if sampling procedures biased any results.

As part of the data analysis and quality-assurance Data-Quality Indicator codes will be set appropriately following standard USGS data verification and validation procedures prior to archival in NWIS.

LABORATORY EVALUATION PLAN
All water quality samples will be sent to the NWQL or RSIL. Results obtained from water, air, sediment, and environmental samples analyzed at USGS and other analytical laboratories and published in USGS information products must meet the documentation standards required in the USGS manual. NWQL, NWQL contract laboratories, and laboratories accredited to relevant national or international standards (introduced in OWQ Technical Memorandum 2002.05) are classified as Level 1 for methods that subscribe to either the Branch of Quality Systems (BQS) Blind Sample Projects or other independent proficiency test (PT) sample studies for the analytes of interest. Additionally, laboratories that provide project analytical results with directly corresponding set- or run-specific internal qualitycontrol data and information may be considered Level 1 when the targeted analytes, quality controls, and analytical performance meet project objectives.

The USGS manual requires the documentation of data quality and is the basis for this memorandum. This memorandum describes how Fundamental Science Practices are met for laboratory results and reiterates the need for review and approval of results obtained from service laboratories as a policy of the WMA. This policy applies to results provided to WMA supported projects by USGS laboratories and other laboratories. This memorandum recommends flexible and relatively simple guidelines for assessing laboratory capability that relies, in most cases, on performance

Page 28 of 139 ends

13 data and information rather than laboratory inspections. This guidance can be applied in combination with a user’s knowledge about a service laboratory and method performance to produce confidence in results.

The USGS must evaluate the laboratory data we use to ensure that it meets the requirements of our projects and programs, as per OWQ TM 2007.01. CAWSC staff may follow an abridged process that fulfills the USGS policy objectives in a manner both practical and beneficial to our projects. Guidance for the abridged process is divided into three steps:

1. Document the project specific DQOs for laboratory performance.

2. Monitor laboratory performance through the use of QC data.

3. Prepare and submit laboratory evaluation package for review and approval.

PRODUCTS
A project web site will be created to provides links to the data collected and updates on progress made during the study (see Task 11 for details). A final report summarizing the findings of the project will be provided to the City of Twentynine Palms in the form of a USGS Scientific Investigations Report. Data that are not able to be stored in NWIS will be released as a USGS data release. All scientific and technical reports and publications will undergo USGS internal review.

ATTACHMENTS:
• 29 Palms July 1 2024 Rate
Schedule Revised
• SB1383Reso2024-2
BACKGROUND:

The City contracts solid waste and recycling services with Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services (BWRS). BWRS has requested a Consumer Price Index rate adjustment per section 24.3 of the franchise agreement, an adjustment to Net Recycling rates based on market factors for recycled materials, and a new phased in rate for organics collection as required under state law.

Commencing on July 1, 2017, the service component associated with any of the maximum rates as set forth in Exhibit A shall be adjusted, and such rates shall be adjusted annually thereafter on each subsequent July 1st during the Term hereof (the " Adjustment Dates "), by a percentage equal to the percentage change in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario Consumer Price Index CPI for the twenty -four (24) month period commencing twenty -seven (27) months prior to the applicable Adjustment Date and ending three (3) months prior to the applicable Adjustment Date. At least forty -five (45) days prior to charging Customers any rate increased due to an increase in the CPI, Contractor shall notify the City Manager of its intent to do so, and receive the City Manager' s approval therefor, which approval shall not be withheld unless such approval would conflict with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any of the above, the maximum annual adjustment shall be six percent (6 %) of the existing rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment. In addition, no rate increases shall occur in any year in which Contractor has not fully complied with the terms of this Agreement. The rate increases become effective July 01 of each calendar year.

Page 37 of 139 ends

Senate Bill (SB) 1383, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Methane Waste Emissions Reduction Act (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016), was passed by the Legislature to reduce greenhouse gases produced by organic material in the waste stream. The new legislation has a large impact on services the City is required to provide to its residents and businesses. Legislation required city-level mitigation programs be implemented by January 2022.Due to the complexity of the program requirements, both City staff and BWRS staff continue to work diligently to develop a comprehensive yet cost-effective program to meet these mandates. The required mitigation programs are beginning to be implemented.

BWRS understands many Twentynine Palms residents struggle with monthly expenses. To lessen the financial impact of needed rate increases, BWRS is proposing tospread the cost of implementing the California State required organics recycling program over a 4-year period. In year one, the BWRS rate will increase by $2.10 per month or $25.20 per year. The $25.20 increase will be on top of the residents' current bill of $282.84, resulting in a new tax roll bill in the amount of $319.56. In year four (2028), the BWRS organics recycling rate will increase to $8.40 per month or $100.80 per year. The $100.80 increase will be on top of the residents' current bill of $283.14.

Net Recycling rates are determined by the volume of recyclable goods received in the previous year and the market conditions for those recycled goods. Essentially, more goods placed in the recycle cart (blue cart), with the least amount of contamination, results in stronger redemption value, ultimately lowering the cost of the program to the residents. Unfortunately, in the prior year we fell short of our redemption goal, causing an increase of $4.08 annually per residential unit to the recycling program.

In summary, a standard residential service will increase $3.06 per month (or $36.72 annually) from the previous year. This increase is driven by the contractually allowed CPI increase, net recycling rate adjustment, and the State-mandated organics waste recycling service. The increase ratewill be reflected on the upcoming property tax bill.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

N/A
ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to implement an organics program risking significant fines by CalRecycle.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City will see a nominal increase in the franchise fees collected.

Twentynine Palms, CA92277
RE:Annual Rate Adjustment
Dear Mr. Bowden,
In accordance with the Second Amendment of our franchise agreement, please find the attached July 1, 2024 rate schedules; the change in the CPI from March 2023 to March 2024 was 4.26%. Net recycling has been adjusted to reflect the 2023 recycling costsand tons which resulted in an increase in the cost for residential and a decrease in cost for commercial. The rate schedules also reflect the residential phase-in of the organics collection services beginning in July.

The County of San Bernardino did not raise disposal tipping fees and remains $49.49/ton. am available at your convenience to answer any questions you may have.

Dear Cindy Villescas:

My name is Ben Uyeda and I would like to submit myself as an applicant for The Visit 29 Palms Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) Advisory Board. Please forward this letter and my resume to the appropriate people.

As a content creator with over 2 million followers across my social media channels I can work with the TIBD to amplify its message and accelerates its progress.

My background is in Architecture as the founder of the award-winning firm ZeroEnergy Design. I am a published author. I was a part of the architecture faculty at Cornell University and North Eastern University teaching sustainable design. I have public service experience as a board member for the Housing Committee as part of the ONEin3 Boston Mayor’s Advisory Council in Boston, Massachusetts.

Please review my Resume CV and thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely,
Ben Uyeda

BACKGROUND:

The Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP) is a new competitive grant program administered by the Federal Department of Transportation to construct projects to provide safe and connected active transportation facilities in active transportation networks or active transportation spines.

This grant is intended for the improvement of transportation networks, including bicycle pathways. In order to qualify for the grant, a project's construction budget has to be at least $15 million. The Federal share of the grant will not exceed 80% of the total project, unless the project serves a community with a poverty rate of over 40%, in which case the Federal government may cover the entire cost.

Possible uses of this grant include enhancing/completing the planned bicycle pathways within the County's flood control channel. A preliminary study by our Engineering Department has determined that the installation of the entirety of the bicycle pathway along the existing 6.9 mile channel is approximately $9 million for basic infrastructure (grading, pavement, and minimal safety features). The Engineering Department is evaluating additional practical amenities usually found along multimodal pathways which would increase total project cost to meet or exceed this grant's minimum threshold. Additional practical amenities may include shade structures, water fountains, restrooms, safety gates, signalized pedestrian crossing areas, and enhanced access areas and even pathway extensions along Two Mile Road.

Page 55 of 139 ends

The deadline for this grant has been extended to July 17, 2024. Given the nature and timing of this grant, Staff has not evaluated other project options, but can do so upon City Council direction.

The full description of this grant is attached to this Staff Report.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

None.

ALTERNATIVES:
a) The Council could give Staff direction to enhance the proposed amenities on the flood control bikeway b) The Council could give Staff direction for other projects that may qualify for this budget c) The Council could give Staff direction to not pursue the grant FISCAL IMPACT:

If the City qualifies as a "Disadvantaged Community" per Federal standards (more than 40% of the City's population below the poverty line), then the City will not have any costs. If the City does not qualify as a Disadvantaged Community, then the City would be responsible for a 20% match or the $3,000,000.

Technical Review:

Evaluation of Merit Criteria
Criterion #5: Equitable Development
FHWA will assess the extent to which the eligible
organization demonstrates that the project will address existing disparities in bicyclist and pedestrian fatality rates based on race or income level or provide access to jobs, schools, and services for low-income communities,
disadvantaged communities, and people with disabilities.

Applicants should:
• Describe how the intend to measure change in
existing disparities and what metrics the applicant
will use throughout the lifecycle of the project
• Provide a plan for how the applicant will identify
groups based on race or income level with
existing disparities to the general population of
the community in terms of bicyclist and
pedestrian fatality rates; and explain how the
project intends to decrease such disparities.
• Describe how the project intends to provide
access to jobs and services for low-income
communities and disadvantaged communities,
and how the project would support economic
competitiveness and wealth creation, such as
through increased mobility and expanded
connectivity

Page 81 of 139 ends

Technical Review:

Evaluation of Merit Criteria
Criterion #6: Other DOT Goals and Priorities
FHWA will assess whether the eligible organization
demonstrates how their investment in active transportation will advance:
• Safety for pedestrians and cyclists,
• Accessibility to jobs and key destinations,
• Economic competitiveness,
• Environmental protection, and
• Quality of life.

The focus of this criterion is on demonstrating how the applicant’s investment in active transportation will advance mode shift to reduce GHG emissions, improve access for
people of all ages and abilities, and address workforce considerations.

Applications should demonstrate how the
implementation of the proposed project:
• Advances safety for all pedestrians and cyclists
• Advances and improves access to jobs, schools, and
key destinations
• Advances workforce development goals
• Advances environmental protection goals, such as
through an analysis of the project’s anticipated
increase in the percentage of person trips by active
transportation and by transit integrated with active
transportation facilities; resultant reductions in air
pollution and GHG emissions; and any changes in
land-use patterns that may reduce emissions
• Is comfortable for and accessible to the needs of all active transportation users, including young
children, older adults, and people with disabilities

FOR MEETING: Jun 25 2024
SUBJECT: Purchase of a new Code Enforcement Vehicle.

RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council authorize City Staff to purchase a new Ford F-150 vehicle for the Code Enforcement division of the Community Development Department in the amount not to exceed $50,000 from Palm Springs Motors, in accordance with the quote provided.

Spring Motors
BACKGROUND:

In June of 2023, the City Council approved $40,000 in funds to purchase a new vehicle for the Code Enforcement Department, however after requesting quotes from several sources, the amount approved is not sufficient to cover the cost of a new vehicle. The City of Twentynine Palms followed Purchasing Policy, Section 3.01.170 - Cooperative Purchasing Arrangements. Subject to approval of the City Manager or the City Council pursuant to the dollar approval limits as provided in Section 3.01.090 or Section 3.01.100, the City may attach to the formal bidding process or engage in cooperative purchasing agreements with any of the following agencies: any County government within California, or any city within such counties, the State of California or the Federal Government.

In obtaining the quotes from the State of California government vendor, the City was informed that no 2023/2024 vehicles were available for purchase and that the only available options were the 2025 vehicles which impacted the pricing significantly. Accordingly, at the May 28, 2024 City Council meeting, another $10,000 was authorized for the purchase of the vehicle as of the next Fiscal Year (July 1, 2024).

Currently the Code Enforcement Department has one vehicle, a 2011 Ford Ranger (small truck) 4 x 4 with 89,000 miles on it to be shared by two Code Enforcement Officers which is not efficient and at times not reliable when trying to attend to the City's current needs. The new vehicle would enable both officers to attend to the current Page 117 of 139 volume of calls received by Code Enforcement as well as reduce the amounts of trips when collecting trash/debris from illegal dump sites which have increased significantly in comparison to previous years.

The bid requests consisted of Staff downloading the State of California vehicle purchase list and contacted their sales representative at Elk Grove Auto. Staff also contacted two Auto Dealerships in the area - Joshua Tree CDRJ (Yucca Valley) and Palm Springs Motors to obtain quotes for the same or comparable vehicles. All quotes with detailed specifications of the vehicles and detailed cost breakdown are attached to this Staff Report. The basic information for a quick overview comparison is on the table below.
