MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors

FROM: Sheridan Nicholas

DATE: January 7, 2020

SUBJECT: Designate Assistant Secretary to Board

Director Mullins, at the time of his passing, was Assistant Secretary to the Board. Now that allDistrict Divisions are represented, it would be appropriate for the Board to appoint a newAssistant Board Secretary.

Along with that, I would recommend that the Board also appoint the Engineer-Manager as anadditional Assistant Secretary to the Board. There have been circumstances when it has beendifficult for the District to obtain Board signatures, and this would help alleviate this issue inthose instances. This is not without precedent as Jim Smith also serves as an Assistant Treasurerto the Board.

WATER RESOURCES MANAGER REPORT (W. JONES)

2019 State Water Project Allocation. The final 2019 State Water Project allocation is 75% as announced by the Department of Water Resources on June 19, 2019. 2020 State Water Project Allocation. The California Department of Water Resources announced the initial 2020 State Water Project allocation of 10% on December 2, 2019. Per DWR’s Notice Number 19-12 dated December 2, 2019, this initial allocation is made consistent with the long-term water supply contracts and public policy. DWR’s approval considered several factors including existing storage in SWP conservation reservoirs, SWP operational constraints such as the conditions of the Biological Opinions for Delta Smelt and Salmonids, and the Longfin Smelt Incidental Take Permit, and the 2020 contractor demands. DWR may revise the initial and subsequent allocations if warranted by the year’s developing hydrologic and water supply conditions. The 10% allocation is consistent with the 90% probability of exceedance study with moderate Old and Middle River (OMR) restrictions in DWR’s December 1, 2019 “Allocation Analysis for 2020” (Analysis). The Analysis includes different ranges of impacts from the Delta Smelt and Salmon Biological Opinions as well as the Longfin Incidental Take Permit (the Analysis uses existing Delta Smelt Biological Opinion standards). Key points of the Analysis include: 1. Under median conditions (50% probability of exceedance = median conditions) the allocation

range would be 13% - 46%. Under a 46% allocation, there is little to no capacity to transfer non-Project water across the Delta (due to OMR restrictions) and no Article 21 would be available.

2. Without the Biological Opinions, the 50% POE forecast would be for a 75% allocation and over 880,000 acre-feet of Article 21 water would be available.

3. Water supply reductions under median conditions from the Biological Opinions could range from 945,000 acre-feet to 1.414 MAF acre-feet depending on how restrictive the fishery agencies are with OMR flows.

4. Under no allocation scenarios will San Luis Reservoir near dead storage during 2020.

Water Conditions. The “Northern Sierra 8-Station Precipitation Tabulation” index of rain and snow water content for the Sacramento, Feather, Yuba and American River Basins in December was 9.8 inches of the monthly average of 9.2 inches. Accumulation for the season is as follows:

Current Amount – October 1, 2019 – September 30, 2020 12.8” Average (historic) to Date 18.7”

Average (historic) for the entire Water Year (Oct. 1 through Sep. 30) 51.80” Percent of Average to Date through Oct. 31, 2019 3.5% Percent of Average to Date through Nov. 30, 2019 31.6% Percent of Average to Date through Dec. 31, 2019 68.5%

Note that precipitation is not runoff, and runoff is not Delta export pumping for the District. Under normal conditions, an average precipitation year equates to a 65% to 75% SWP allocation depending on timing and proportions of snow and rain. The December 31, 2019 “San Joaquin 5-Station Precipitation Tabulation” index was 6.7 inches, which is 75% of historical average. note because significant San Joaquin River flows allow for greater pumping at the Delta by lowering reverse flows on the Old and Middle Rivers. Carryover and Spill Conditions. The District continually reviews current San Luis Reservoir (SLR) storage levels (Dec. 31st – 63% capacity, 93% of average) to determine optimum carryover amounts. End of month San Luis Reservoir conditions were as follows:

Description Million Acre-feet (MAF)

At the District’s regular Board Meeting held August 14, 2019, it was announced that WRM will be adhering to its standard Carryover Policy of 5% of the Contract Amount of Water (“CAW”) for 2019 carryover into 2020. Water User carryover of Landowner Transfer, SWP entitlement, and other Board authorized water supplies available to Water User, would be permitted with an upper limit of 5% of CAW for each Water User. All water held by Water Users at December 31, 2019, in excess of 5% of their CAW will be subject to loss without notice and the District shall not be responsible for losses or damages from the loss of Carryover water. Meetings. The Water Resources Manager attended various meetings during the month.

ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES (T. SUGGS)

December 2019 WRM 9A Traveling Water Screen: Considerable time was spent revising a package of plans and specifications for this project in response to a number of minor comments and requests for additional details that were received from the State Water Project Analysis Office (SWPAO) following their last review. It is expected that revisions will be submitted in early January. Premium Efficiency Motors Project: About five man-days were required to prepare a specification for furnishing 40 new premium efficiency electric motors. The intention is to publish a bid solicitation in early January with a due date of late January. SGMA: On December 9th, three cooperative stream gages, all located on the Wind Wolves Preserve, were visited and found to be partially buried by silt. Other gages located on Tecuya Creek and Salt Creek were inaccessible due to mud. When conditions dry out, another visit will be scheduled to dig out gages and restore the dataloggers. User Input Program: District wells were off during the month of December, but Landowner wells produced approximately 39 acre-feet for Water User accounts. All District-owned wells were checked for static water levels, requiring about one man-day of effort. Direct Landowner Services: The following engineering assistance was provided to landowners or members of the general public:

• Two different Water Users were provided with custom maps showing their owned lands. Underground Facilities and Turnouts: The following field activities and/or research was conducted related to underground facilities:

• Engineering Department staff responded to 121 underground services alerts (USAs) during December.

• A total of 3.0 miles of District pipelines were marked during the month. • Assistance was provided to the O&M Department with locating various electrical conduits

and underground piping at the PD-1 Pumping Plant, as the O&M Department was engaged in replacing three large, nonoperational butterfly valves.

• Support was provided to the O&M Department with locating an isolation valve on the 8G-D Lateral following a pipe break.

• The Engineering Assistant worked with a Water User to evaluate the feasibility of increasing the size of a turnout in the 5P Service Area, but because that system is allocated for flow rates at peak times, it was recommended that there was little benefit to upsizing.

• Field notes and photos were taken during the repair of an oil pipeline which was located close to the 5G-A Lateral.

• Field notes and photos were taken during the repair of a separate oil pipeline that was located in parallel to the 7G-C Lateral.

• Several field meetings were held with an oil company contractor in preparation for the planned laying of two new small (3-inch and 3.5-inch diameter) low pressure gas pipelines together with a new oil and water pipeline in the 8G Service Area. Available District plan and profile drawings were also provided to the contractor. Eventually, field inspections were made and as-built notes were collected where the pipelines crossed above the District’s 8G-2 and 8G-3 Laterals.

• As-built notes were collected during the installation of new electrical conduits at the WRM-3 and WRM-4 pumping plants.

Maps, Records, and Easements: Engineering Department staff accomplished the following related to maps and records:

• The District’s databases of water levels, groundwater quality, and wells construction were updated with many field notes and laboratory results collected or received during the last year.

Hydrology and Hydraulics: The following took place related to hydrology:

• Daily and weekly data were collected on evaporation, wind, temperature, and rainfall at District weather stations.

• The new automated weather station located at the PA-2 Pumping Plant was found to be working well and logging data properly.

• The Cooperative weather station located at the District Headquarters, which is maintained by the National Weather Service, stopped reporting on October 19th.

Surface Water or Groundwater Quality: As part of an ongoing program, Aqueduct raw water samples were collected at the untreated water spigot located at the District’s maintenance shop building once per week for e. coli analysis. Results through December 2019 are posted on the District’s website. Corrosion Protection: The following work took place in support of cathodic protection:

• Potentials were measured at seven cathodic protection rectifier stations and minor adjustments were made to rectifier voltage as needed.

Annual Maintenance Inspections: The HP tank at the 15GP-2 Pumping Plant was inspected as part of annual maintenance. The interior coating, which was applied in 2013, was found to be in excellent condition and the cathodic protection systems were found to be intact. Energy: Work focusing on energy consumption and electrical accounts included the following:

• Forty-two PG&E bills were received and processed for payment in the December A/P. Due to the holidays, nine bills were not received as of this writing.

• On December 16th, the Staff Engineer was interviewed by a representative of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) concerning the District’s Booster Pump Replacement Program and specifically concerning the factors that led to the decision to replace pumps, including the influence of available PG&E rebates.

• Total savings associated with the District’s solar projects over the preceding 12 months was found to be $48,268.

1/6/2020 Series of December Storms Provides Good Start to Sierra Snowpack

https://water.ca.gov/News/News-Releases/2020/January-2020-Snow-Survey 1/1

Series of December Storms Provides Good Start to SierraSnowpackPublished: Jan 02, 2020

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Department of Water Resources (DWR) today conducted the first manual snow survey of2020 at Phillips Station. The manual survey recorded 33.5 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent (SWE) of11 inches, which is 97 percent of average for this location. The SWE measures the amount of water contained in thesnowpack, which provides a more accurate forecast of spring runo�.

“While the series of cold weather storms in November and December has provided a good start to the 2020 snowpack,precipitation in Northern California is still below average for this time of year,” said DWR Director Karla Nemeth. “Wemust remember how variable California’s climate is and what a profound impact climate change has on our snowpack.”

More telling than a survey at a single location are DWR’s electronic readings from 130 stations scattered throughout theState. Measurements indicate that statewide, the snowpack’s SWE is 9.3 inches, or 90 percent of the January 2 average.

“It’s still too early to predict what the remainder of the year will bring in terms of snowpack,” said Sean de Guzman,chief of DWR’s Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasting Section. “Climate change is altering the balance of rain andsnow in California. That is why it is important to maintain our measurements of the snowpack to document the changein addition to having critical information to forecast spring runo�.”

California traditionally receives about 75 percent of its annual precipitation during December, January and February,with the bulk of this precipitation coming from atmospheric rivers. Similar to last year, California experienced a drystart to this water year followed by cold, wet December storms that brought the state up to 74 percent of averageannual precipitation for this time of year. Climate change is expected to lead to continued warming and fewer but moreintense storms impacting the snowpack of the Sierra Nevada. These changes continue to impact the distribution ofsnow across elevations, its pattern of accumulation, and rate of melt.

DWR conducts five media-oriented snow surveys at Phillips Station each winter in January, February, March, April and,if necessary, May. On average, the snowpack supplies about 30 percent of California’s water needs as it melts in thespring and early summer.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors

FROM: Wendy Jones

DATE: January 8, 2020

SUBJECT: Authority to Execute Water Agreements for 2020

Historically, the Board has authorized the Engineer-Manager to purchase any water supplies up

to a specific amount per acre-foot. Beginning in water year 2014, the Board authorized the

purchase of supplies up to $900 per acre-foot based upon Water User demand (subscription basis

only). Since the 2016 water year, the Board has authorized purchases up to $350 per acre-foot

for all Water Users and, in the 2017 water year, the Board authorized $200 per acre-foot for

groundwater recharge supplies during wet conditions when such supplies may become available.

With an initial SWP allocation of 10% and a review of the estimated supplies shown in our

initial 2020 Water Supply/Demand Estimate (8.2.a), it is possible to foresee a low allocation

equating low supplies, which will render high water costs.

For information purposes only, an analysis of average cost estimates for available 2020 supplies

as shown in the initial Water Supply/Demand Estimate provides the following:

Supplement to 2020 Water Purchase Authorization

AF $/AF Estimated Cost

SWP 10% Entitlement 19,709 1,170$ 23,050,903$

Kern WB 25,000 250$ 6,250,000$ valued replacement cost rate

Pioneer 5,000 270$ 1,350,000$ valued replacement cost rate

District Wells 10,000 195$ 1,950,000$ energy cost + maintenance

59,709 546$ 32,600,903$

Estimates for Banking Project recovery and District Well productions follow 2017 Rationing policy.

Recommendation: Based upon the above historical information and what we know at this

writing, it is recommended that the Board extend the Engineer-Manager’s authorization to

execute any water agreements in 2020 (subject to Engineer-Manager and Counsel approval) and

purchase water supplies that fall in accordance with the characterized criteria, specifically the

following:

purchase any water supplies available at a cost not to exceed $350 per acre-foot,

purchase any water supplies available at a cost not to exceed $900 per acre-foot subject to

Water User subscription requests, and

purchase any recharge water supplies available at a cost not to exceed $200 per acre-foot.

Water supplies that cost more per acre-foot than the amounts categorized herein would require

separate Board approval and authorization. u:\documents\wendy's docs\1 wrm\board prep\2020 01 board prep\8.2.c 2020 water purchase authorization.docx

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors

FROM: Robert Kunde

DATE: January 7, 2020

SUBJECT: Delta Conveyance Project

On January 7, 2020, the Department of Water Resources announced Public Negotiation #10 will be heldon January 22 to discuss the State Water Project Contract Amendment for Delta Conveyance. DWR haspublished its 6th Offer (attached).

Staff will provide verbal comments at the January 8 Board meeting. It is likely this Offer will also bediscussed at the 1:30 pm January 9 Delta Conveyance at the Kern County Water Agency.

Preface to Sixth Offer December 20, 2019

California Department of Water Resources

Preface to its Sixth Offer in

the Contract Negotiations Concerning Water Supply Contract Cost and Benefit Allocation of Delta Conveyance Facilities of the State Water Project

At the public negotiation held on November 13, 2019 the Department’s negotiator committed to take the AIP to the Director for approval, but requested a straw poll be conducted of the level of support from the 29 PWAs. Completion of that straw poll indicated less support than initially anticipated with only 16 of 29 PWAs committing to recommending a position of support to their boards of directors.

It is the Department’s position that this level of support is unlikely to result in a contract amendment that can be implemented uniformly across all the contracts. It is also the Department’s understanding that the PWAs do not feel there is likely to be an increase in the level of support should further negotiations be held on the existing “Opt-In” approach. In light of this information, the Department submits this counter-proposal to the “Opt-In” approach as its sixth offer.

The Department currently has the statutory and contractual authority to proceed with planning, construction and operation of a Delta conveyance facility. Recognizing that there are PWAs that do not wish to pay for or benefit from a Delta conveyance facility, DWR has structured within its sixth offer an “Opt-Out” provision that will credit any PWA exercising this option for any costs associated with planning, constructing or operating a Delta conveyance facility. Commensurate with such a credit would be express waivers of any water supply benefits from a Delta conveyance facility. This counter-offer addresses the concerns expressed by Kern County Water Agency by providing the ability to “Opt-Out” for either 100% of a PWA’s municipal and industrial allocation or 100% of its agricultural allocation.

PWAs not exercising an “Opt-Out” will benefit from a Delta conveyance facility pursuant to the existing State Water Project Water Supply Contracts, and shoulder the associated costs based upon the existing billing provisions.

The Department proposes that further contract negotiations begin on January 22, 2020 in order to discuss its sixth offer, thereby giving the PWAs significant time over the next several weeks to discuss within their caucus.

It is the Department’s continued belief that a Delta conveyance facility is in the best interests of the state, the PWAs, and the Delta.

IX. Environmental Review Process a. DWR and the PWAs agree that this AIP is intended to be used during the environmental

review process for the CEQA, to define the proposed project description for the purposes of CEQA, and to permit the next steps of the SWP water supply contract amendment process, including scoping and the preparation of the EIR. The AIP principles are not final contract language and do not represent a contractual commitment by either DWR or the PWAs to approve any proposed project or to sign contract amendments. By concurring with the AIP, DWR and the PWAs express their intent to move forward with the CEQA process with DWR as lead agency and the PWAs as responsible agencies, and ultimately develop a proposed project consisting of contractual amendments consistent with the AIP principles and prepare the EIR for consideration by DWR and the PWAs.

b. At the end of the CEQA process and in compliance with CEQA, DWR and the PWAs will each individually evaluate the EIR and Contract Amendment, exercise their independent judgment, and determine whether or not to certify the EIR, approve the proposed project and sign the contract amendment or to approve an alternative project. Consequently, even though DWR and the PWAs have agreed to the AIP for the purposes described in the preceding paragraphs, DWR and each PWA retain their full discretion under CEQA to consider and adopt mitigation measures and alternatives, including the alternative of not going forward with the proposed project.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors

FROM: Robert Kunde

DATE: January 7, 2020

SUBJECT: Sites Reservoir Project - January 7, 2020 Update Meeting with Water Users

On January 7, 2020, a meeting was held with District Water Users funding the Sites Reservoir Project. The memorandum to Water Users is attached.

Water User funding of Sites Reservoir Phase 2A was to cover the period from April to December 2019. At its December 19, 2019 meeting, the Sites Reservoir Committee approved an extension in the currentPhase 2A which is now scheduled to end on August 31, 2020. Funding decisions for the next Phase 2Bby participants are due by July 9, 2020.

With the extension of Phase 2A, the District budget for administrative costs (primarily my time andtravel expenses) will need to increase. In January 2019, the Board set the 2019 Sites administrativebudget at $16 per acre-foot of participation to be collected from participating Water Users. This budgetand resulting fee on participating Water Users was sufficient to cover expenses through January 2020. Per today’s meeting and consultation with Water Users, a 2020 Sites administrative budget of anadditional $8 per acre-foot in 2020 is needed to cover District administrative expenses through August2020. Water Users were supportive of this proposal.

Recommendation. It is recommended the Board authorize, subject to formal approval by participatingWater Users:(a) a budget rate for 2020 District administrative expenses for Sites Reservoir of $8.00 per acre-foot

of Sites participation,(b) billing to Water Users for same, and(c) the President or Engineer-Manager to execute, upon approval of Counsel as to form, a letter

agreement or Amendment to the District/Water User Agreement for Phase 2A (2019) reflectingthis 2020 charge.

MEMORANDUM

TO: District Water Users Supporting Phase 2A of the Sites Reservoir Project

FROM: Robert Kunde

DATE: January 7, 2020

SUBJECT: Sites Reservoir Project - January 7, 2020 Update Meeting with Water Users

Status. Your participation in funding of Sites Reservoir Phase 2A was to cover the period from April toDecember 2019. At its December 2019 meeting, the Sites Reservoir Committee approved an extensionin the current Phase 2A which is now scheduled to end on August 31, 2020. Funding decisions forPhase 2B by participants are due by July 9, 2020.

Updated information on the Project and needed input from you are described below.

District/Water User Agreement for Phase 2A (2019). Among other things, this Agreement:1. Authorizes “Sites costs” of $60/AF of participation plus “WRM administrative costs” (capped by

Board of Directors at $16/AF of participation.)2. Has no specific termination date. Contemplates a future amendment or separate agreement for

funding Phase 2B and subsequent phases.3. Authorizes funding for Phase 2A originally scheduled for April 1 to December 31, 2019 subject

to revision by the Sites Authority.4. Provides priority access to Water User for Sites Project water supply benefits if ultimately

constructed with additional Water User funding.

On December 11, 2019, the District executed a Phase 2A Sites/District Contract Amendment to extendPhase 2A through March 31, 2020. The Sites Authority decided on December 19, 2019 to extend Phase2A through August 31, 2020. There will be no additional “Sites Costs” for the extension. Water Usersare asked for direction on the “WRM administrative costs” which may be incurred during the extension.

Progress to Date. Selected events and activities during Phase 2A to date are listed.5. Phase 2A Participation settled on 192,812 AF of participation from local agencies. The state

share for environmental water (WSIP, or Proposition 1) varies from 16,000 to 35,000 AFdepending on the ultimate Project cost.

6. Adoption of Storage Policy intended as Exhibit to Phase 2B funding agreement.7. Decided to proceed without Bureau of Reclamation investment (but continued cooperation on

water operations) because Washington DC congressional approval (or not) of federal fundingwill not occur before key Sites Project decisions are required.

8. Negotiations with California Department of Fish and Wildlife regarding possible CaliforniaEndangered Species Act Permit. The likely range of average annual yield reduced from 500,000AF/year per the Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP) application (Proposition 1 funding)to 200,000 to 225,000 AF/year under likely state permit conditions.

Page 2 of 4

9. The August 2019 Affordability Analysis based on reduced yield and various Reservoir sizesshowed the Sites Project was not affordable for agriculture (including Sacramento Valley 25%participation).

10. The Sites Value Planning process was initiated to explore lower cost Project alternatives and is inprogress. So far, alternate Reservoir Projects (down to a 1.3MAF reservoir) would range from$3.4 to $4.0 billion in 2018 capital cost dollars and excluding a risk management allowance andfinancing costs. This compares to the current Alternate D proposal for a 1.8MAF reservoir at acapital cost $5.2 billion.

Phase 2A Goal. The goal of Phase 2A was to narrow the range of uncertainty in Sites’ cost and yield. Updated information is provided in the 45 page “Joint Authority/Reservoir Committee Workshop -November 15th” presentation on January 7, 2020, and available electronically upon request. Phase 2A/2B Timeline. The updated Sites timeline (subject to revision) is as follows:

May 1, 2020 Sites provides the latest information on the Reservoir and funding plans for Phase2B to Participants.

July 9, 2020 Deadline for Sites Participants to notify Sites Authority regarding level ofparticipation and funding for Phase 2B.

July 16, 2020 Sites Reservoir Committee and Project Authority decide on how to continueprogress on the Project in Phase 2B.

July 31, 2020 Sites Authority issues Phase 2B invoices (perhaps $50/AF initially and $50/AF in2021).

Aug 31, 2020 Phase 2B invoice payments dueSept 1, 2020 Start of Phase 2BDec 31, 2021 End of Phase 2B

Phase 2B Funding Input. Sites has requested the following information from Participants on Phase 2Bfunding by early January. Therefore, your feedback is requested so the District can respond.11. A staggered cash call of no more than $100/AF of participation has been proposed to fund Phase

2B work through December 31, 2021. Can your agency fund a cash call up to $100 per acre foot?12. Do you require financing at $100/AF, or a combination of financing and a cash call?13. What level of cash call could you support?

Phase 2A Sites Funding. During the extension of Phase 2A through August 2020, no additionalpayments to the Sites Project will be required from Participants. Sufficient funds exist from your priorsupport of $60 per acre-foot of participation combined with re-prioritizing the Sites work andProposition 1 reimbursements from the California Water Commission.

Phase 2A WRM Administrative - Representation. I represent you in Sites matters as follows:14. at the monthly Sites Reservoir Project Committee meetings in Sacramento and Maxwell,15. as the Co-Chair of the Reservoir Operations Work Group which provides direction to and review

of Sites water supply options and analyses,16. as the Chair of the Value Planning Work Group which is evaluating options to reduce the Sites

capital costs,17. as a member of the Budget and Finance Work Group which evaluates monthly financial reports,

expenditures, budgets, and work plan development,18. as a member of the Coordination Work Group which coordinates activities among the various

Page 3 of 4

Work Groups and sets the monthly Committee meeting agendas,19. as an occasional participant in the Environmental and Permitting Work Group which reviews and

provides direction to staff on said work, and20. as the Chair of the Sites State Water Contractor Group which addresses Sites issues related to the

State Water Project, and is not a part of the Sites Reservoir Committee per se.

I was asked to consider running for the position of Vice Chair of the Reservoir Project Committee in2020. I declined due to the additional time requirement affecting my retirement and uncertainty if youwould fund the additional cost in 2020.

Phase 2A WRM Administrative - Cost. You provided $48,800 ($16 per acre-foot) for the “WRMAdministrative costs” i.e. primarily my time and travel expenses from April through December 2019. An estimated $45,000 of expense was incurred leaving a balance of about $4,000. Average monthlyexpenses were about $4,900, so your funding will cover January 2020 expenses.

Are you willing to provide additional funding for my activity on your behalf from February to August2020 through the end of Phase 2A i.e. 5 months at $3,000 per month + 2 months at $4,900 per month =$24,700 = $8.00 per acre-foot of participation? The estimated cost in 2020 ($3000 per month inFebruary to June) will be lower then in 2019 ($4900 per month) because I will have to reduce my part-time hours to meet pension legal requirements.

Regional Administrator, Region IX Federal Emergency Management Agency 1111 Broadway, Suite 200 Oakland, California 94607

Dear Mr. Fenton:

Thank you for your response, dated August 15, 2019, to our letter regarding the California Department of Water Resources' (DWR) appeal of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) initial partial denial of reimbursement for repairs of the spillways at Oroville Dam that has been submitted by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.

It is our understanding the FEMA appeal review process may be concluding, and a decision could be made early next year on reimbursing the State of California for repair work to the Oroville Dam spillways. We are also aware that your staff requested additional information from DWR regarding this appeal and that State officials provided detailed responses to FEMA last month. We hope the State's responses fully address any remaining concerns or questions regarding the eligibility of the actions the DWR took to repair both the gated spillway and emergency spillway for Federal reimbursement under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

In light of these developments, we want to reiterate our view that the State of California should be provided reimbursement for costs of storm-related damage to the Oroville Dam spillways at the full 75% cost share allowed under the Stafford Act. To that end, we would like to highlight a few key issues State officials have raised with us in their appeal that support Federal reimbursement:

• The gated spillway chute is a single continuous structure, not a distinct upper section and lower section, and repairs made to this entire structure were required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the California Division of Safety of Dams, and multiple reports from the Independent Board of Consultants following the 2017 storm event;

• Damage to the gated and emergency spillways was the direct result of the 2017 storm event, not pre-disaster deferred maintenance of these structures;

• The emergency spillway is an improved and maintained structure with a discharge channel, access road, and drain system on the hillside below the overflow weir, and therefore the State can seek reimbursement for repair work to this structure under the Stafford Act;

PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

Agenda Item 9.2

• Repairs to the emergency spillway, such as the use of engineered fill materials on the hillside to replace eroded bedrock, were necessary and required to restore the facility to pre-disaster operational status to protect human life and property; and,

• The reconstruction of the gated and emergency spillways significantly reduced the potential for similar future disaster damages to the facility, as -supported by DWR's benefit-cost analysis.

We hope that as you review the appeal, the responses provided to FEMA Region IX staff provide additional clarity on the actions the DWR took to repair the spillways at Oroville Dam,· as well as the reasons why, making these actions eligible for Federal reimbursement under the Stafford Act. Accordingly, we respectfully request that you keep our offices informed as you carefully and thoroughly review the appeal and the additional new information provided to FEMA as you prepare to make a decision on this important issue.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any additional informati0n, or if we can be of assistance to you during your review of the eligibility appeal for the repair work conducted on the· Orovilie Dam spillways.

NEWSOM ADMINISTRATION’S WATERRESILIENCE PORTFOLIO

A step in the right direction but fails to protectrural farming communities

The Newsom Administration’s highly anticipated Water ResiliencePortfolio presents an impressive suite of actions that will certainlyadvance California water management. The Natural ResourcesAgency, CalEPA, and California Department of Food & Agriculture’splan offers new opportunities to improve the Sacramento-San JoaquinDelta ecosystem through enhanced monitoring and incorporation ofadaptive management based on the best available science, enhanceconveyance and storage, and address the impacts of climate change.

“The Coalition for a Sustainable Delta remains concerned, however,that the portfolio fails to address the growing impacts of water scarcityon rural farming communities throughout the Central Valley ofCalifornia. While the portfolio recognizes land fallowing resulting fromimplementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act andincreasingly limited surface water supplies, it stops short of providingreal solutions to address the impacts to residents, farms and smallbusinesses that depend on reliable water supplies,” said Bill Phillimore,Coalition for a Sustainable Delta President. “The state needs to providemore concrete solutions to a problem that will have far reachingimpacts on millions who live and work in these regions.”
