BACKGROUND: Introduction The City of Petaluma is pursuing development of two significant public projects: the Water Recycling Facility Project and the Petaluma Marsh Acquisition, Enhancement and Access Project. In order to complete these projects, the City needs to acquire certain real property (Real Property) located in the 4000 block of Lakeville Highway in the unincorporated area of the County of Sonoma, at Petaluma, California, more particularly described as Sonoma County SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings \september 8 - 2003\agenda report - land acquisition.doc Assessor's Parcel Nos. 068 - 010 -026 and 017 -010 -002, consisting of approximately 261.33 acres, more or less, and the improvements thereon consisting of a single family residence and out- buildings. An aerial photograph of the Real Property is shown in Figure 1 (identified as Parcels A and B). The 1989 Sonoma County General Plan identifies the Real Property as Land Extensive Agriculture (LEA). The update to the Sonoma County General Plan (GP 2020) acknowledges that the City's proposed use of the Real Property is of substantial public benefit and proposes to amend the land use designation of the Real Property to Public Facilities (PF) and Public Quasi - public (PQP) if the City acquires the Real Property. The Real Property is owned by David Martinelli and Teresa Martinelli, Darrel Freitas and Nancy Freitas, and the Shainsky Trust (Sellers). The following sections describe the Water Recycling Facility and the Petaluma Marsh Acquisition, Enhancement and Access Projects in detail. Water Recycling Facility The impetus for developing a new wastewater treatment facility began in 1988 when the City's population was 40,300 and the average dry weather flow at the treatment facility was 4.0 million gallons per day (mgd). Today, the population is approximately 56,000 and the average dry weather flow is approximately 4.93 mgd. In 1988 the City evaluated the capital improvements necessary for operation of the existing wastewater treatment facility on Hopper Street and identified an extensive list of major repairs including repair and cleaning of the anaerobic digesters, repair of the grit collection and removal system, repair of all clarifiers and biofilters, and repair to the ponds and pond distribution system. In addition to being in need of repair, the facility was also in need of expansion since average dry weather flows had exceeded 75. percent of the 5.2 -mgd average dry weather design (and permitted) capacity. The City determined that additional investment in the treatment plant would not be cost - effective and, therefore, decided to implement the minimum repairs necessary to the existing treatment facility (cleaning and 2 SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003\agenda report - land acquisition.doc rehabilitation of the digesters) and begin pursuing a long -term strategy to meeting the community's wastewater treatment needs. Thereafter the City twice attempted to privately design, build, finance and operate the new treatment plant, going as far as the selection of a preferred contractor. In July 1999, the City Council determined the City would no longer pursue development of a privately owned wastewater treatment facility and that the new facility would be publicly owned. In support of development of a publicly owned facility, the City prepared the Water Recycling Facility Project Report (Project Report). The Project Report identified and evaluated five alternatives for the Water Recycling Facility. On December 11, 2000, the City Council approved the Project Report and selected Alternative 5 — Extended Aeration as the preferred alternative, and identified Option A — Wetlands as the preferred alternative for algae removal. Even though its costs were comparable to other alternatives, Alternative 5 was selected as the preferred alternative primarily because it had the smallest ecological footprint. The potential environmental impacts of the alternatives were evaluated in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The City Council certified the EIR on August 5, 2002 and directed City Management to prepare final plans and specifications. The preferred project included the following: Location of the water recycling facility in the Aerated Lagoon and Oxidation Pond No. 1 Construction of algae - removal treatment wetlands in Oxidation Ponds 9 and 10 Construction of polishing treatment wetlands on Parcels A and B. Feasibility Analysis In December 2002, the City conducted a value engineering study of the 50 percent design. It became apparent that locating the facility in the Aerated Lagoon and Oxidation Pond No. 1 would have a significant impact on the project. Here's why: Wastewater pumped from the existing treatment facility at 950 Hopper Street to the oxidation ponds is discharged into the Aerated Lagoon and then flows into Oxidation Pond No. 1, or is discharged directly into 3 SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003 \agenda report - land acquisition.doc Oxidation Pond No. 1. From Oxidation Pond No. 1, the wastewater flows through the remaining oxidation ponds for further treatment. The wastewater is then disinfected prior to discharge or reuse. As proposed in the 50 percent design, the new water recycling facility would be located in the Aerated Lagoon and Oxidation Pond No. 1. To prepare the Aerated Lagoon and Oxidation Pond No. 1 for construction, the following actions are needed: The removal, drying and disposal of approximately 5,000 tons of sludge from the Aerated Lagoon and Oxidation Pond No. 1. Construction of a new pipeline to route influent wastewater around the Aerated Lagoon and Oxidation Pond No. 1 into Oxidation Pond No. 2. Installation of aerators in Oxidation Pond Nos. 2 and 3 for additional treatment of influent wastewater. Placement and consolidation of 250,000 cubic yards of imported fill into Oxidation Pond No. 1. Construction would require four separate contracts: 1) sludge removal, 2) pipeline construction, 3) placement of imported fill, and 4) construction of water recycling facility. Given the amount of time and resources necessary to prepare the Aerated Lagoon and Oxidation Pond No. 1 for construction, the City asked the question, Is it feasible to locate the facility on Parcel A, along with the polishing treatment wetlands? If so, what are the implications? An analysis conducted by the City concluded that constructing the new water recycling facility on Parcel A is feasible. The cost for constructing the facility in Oxidation Pond No. 1 was estimated at $72.91 million. The cost for constructing the facility on Parcel A is estimated at $67.66 million, which is a savings of $5.25 million. On August 18, 2003, the City Council considered the feasibility analysis and directed City Management to locate the water recycling facility on Parcel A. A draft layout of the facility on Parcel A is shown on Figure 2. It is proposed that approximately 40 acres be acquired by the City for the water recycling facility. 4 SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003\agenda report - land acquisition.doe History of Proposed Projects for the Water Recycling Facility Envirotech Operating Services submitted the first proposed project for the new wastewater treatment facility in 1988. The oxidation ditch facility proposed included continued use of the existing aeration basins and secondary clarifier at the Hopper Street facility, with construction of oxidation ditches, secondary clarifiers at the Lakeville Highway site. Tertiary treatment facilities were not included. Since that time, project proposals included Montgomery United Water's privatization proposal (January 1997), the Sonoma County Water Agency's proposal (March 1998), the Master Plan prepared by Brown & Caldwell (May 1999), Sonoma County Water Agency's second proposal (April 2001), and the Water Recycling Facility described in Water Recycling Facility Predesign Report (Carollo Engineers, November 2002). Table 1 summarizes these proposals with respect to the following items: Odor Control. Includes facilities to contain and treat odors generated by the wastewater treatment facility. Tertiary Treatment. Use of filters to remove fine suspended particles that remain in the secondary effluent. Grit Removal. Removal of grit, sand, gravel, cinders and other heavy solid materials in the influent wastewater to protect moving mechanical equipment in the plant from abrasion and abnormal wear and to reduce formation of heavy deposits in pipelines, channels, conduits and storage /treatment ponds. Oxidation Pond Storage. Needed to support the City's water recycling program and comply with NPDES permit, which prohibits discharge of, treated effluent into the Petaluma River from May 1 through October 20. Upgrade Transfer Structures. Includes construction of structures that transfer effluent between the oxidation ponds. Existing structures limit the amount of usable storage volume in the oxidation ponds. Algae Removal. Storage of effluent in the oxidation ponds is conducive to algae growth. Removal of algae from the secondary effluent is necessary to prevent the tertiary filters from plugging and fouling. 5 SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003\agenda report - land acquisition.doc Ammonia Removal. Removal of ammonia is needed to control the toxicity of the effluent. Solids Handling & Treatment. The 100 — 150 tons /month of biosolids contained in the influent wastewater must be removed and treated prior to landfill disposal or beneficial reuse. Facilities typically included digesters and dewatering units (belt filter presses or centrifuges). Class B Biosolids. Allows biosolids to be beneficially reused. Tertiary Recycled Water. Production of tertiary recycled water in compliance with Title 22 requirements will allow the City to expand its water - recycling program. Recycled Water Storage. Allows tertiary facilities to operate at a steady rate, which improves operation and reduces wear and tear. Storage also allows the City to conduct maintenance on the facility without disrupting recycled water service. Meet Anticipated Discharge Limits. It is anticipated that the permit discharge limits for the new Water Recycling Facility will be more stringent than the current requirements. As shown on Table 1, the only project that includes all of the critical elements described above is the Water Recycling Facility Project. Construction Cost Comparison of Water Recycling Facility How does the construction cost of the proposed Water Recycling Facility compare with other recent wastewater treatment facility projects? Table 2 compares the capital cost of Petaluma's Water Recycling Facility Project with the construction costs for wastewater treatment facility projects recently constructed for the Napa Sanitation District, City of Roseville, City of Brentwood, City of Benicia, and the City of Chico. With an estimated capital cost of $67.66M and an annual average capacity of 8 mgd, the unit cost of Petaluma's Water Recycling Facility is $8.46M /mgd. This is approximately 10% above the unit cost for projects constructed for Napa, Brentwood, and Chico, and 20% less than the unit cost for wastewater projects in Roseville and Benicia. Differences between the projects are described in Table 2. 0 SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012\phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003\agenda report - land acquisition.doc W f� bA u v a> a o l� CC 0 0 s, a a..

The acquisition, planning and restoration efforts of this project will provide a diversity of habitats for shorebirds, waterfowl, fish, amphibians, and plants cited in the Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Project as species in need of improvement. The project also includes 3.5 miles of trails, which would serve as a continuum of the heavily used Petaluma Marsh and Shollenberger Park trails to the north and west. The adjoining 2.6 miles of trail are owned and managed by the City, and are used extensively by hikers, walkers, birders and joggers. Because of the views these trails afford the Petaluma River, they were recently used as viewing areas by supporters of the racing regatta held at the Petaluma Marina on April 27, 2003. The conceptual plan is shown on Figure 3. The wide range of benefits provided by this project has attracted the interest of the State Coastal Conservancy (Conservancy) and the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District (District). A key component of the overall project that further attracted the interest of the Conservancy is the City's decision to include polishing treatment wetlands as an adjunct to the City's water recycling facility. Environmental Documentation The City completed the Water Recycling Facility and River Access Improvements Draft EIR in April 2002. This document analyzed potential environmental impacts from the Water Recycling Facility Project and the River Access Improvements (Petaluma Marsh Acquisition, Enhancement and Access). The City Council conducted noticed public hearings on the Draft EIR on May 13 and 20, 2002. The City completed the Water Recycling Facility and River Access Improvements Final EIR and Response To Comments in July 2002. The City Council conducted a noticed public hearing on the Final EIR on August 5, 2002. At that meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2002 -135 "Certifying the Water Recycling Facility and River Access Improvements Project Final EIR," and Resolution No. 2002 — 136 "Approving the Water Recycling Facility and River Access Improvements Project, Adopting Mitigation Measures and E SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003 \agenda report - land acquisition.doc Monitoring Program, and Setting Forth Specific Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations." This resolution also authorized City Management to pursue funding opportunities for the Petaluma Marsh Acquisition, Enhancement and Access Project, including opportunities with the State Coastal Conservancy and the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District. Coastal Conservancy Action Following City Council direction, the City submitted an application to the State Coastal Conservancy for grant funding in Summer 2002. The Conservancy Board considered the Petaluma Marsh Acquisition, Enhancement and Access project at a board meeting held in Napa, California, on October 31, 2002, including a recommendation from Conservancy staff that the Conservancy authorize the disbursement of $2 million to the City of Petaluma to acquire Petaluma marsh property, and to construct, restore, plan and design on -site improvements. Many letters in support of the project were submitted to the Conservancy, including letters from Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, Senator John L. Burton, Assemblymembers Patricia Wiggins and Joe Nation, Carl Wong, School Superintendent, and James Rose, Dean of Instruction, Santa Rosa Junior College. Senator Wesley Chesbro spoke in favor of the project at the October 31, 2002, board meeting, and urged the board to approve the project and the Conservancy staff's recommendation. The Bay Institute and the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture also supported the project. The Conservancy Board voted unanimously in support of the City's grant request. Following City Council direction provided on June 2, 2003, City Management executed a funding agreement with the Conservancy on June 13, 2003. Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District Following City Council direction, the City submitted an application to the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District for grant funding in Summer 2002. The District's Advisory Committee toured the project site on August 16, 2002, and then considered the project during a regular Committee meeting on September 3, 2002. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Committee passed a resolution in support of the project. 10 SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003 \agenda report - land acquisition.doc After receiving support from the Advisory Committee, the next step was to take the project to the District's Authority Board. The Authority Board considered the project on October 24, 2002, including a recommendation from District Staff that the District support the disbursement of $2,006,000 to the City of Petaluma in support of the Petaluma Marsh Acquisition, Enhancement and Access Project. As was the case with the Coastal Conservancy, many letters in support of the project were submitted to the District, including letters from Senator John L. Burton and Assemblymember Joe Nation. The District's Authority Board voted unanimously in support of the City's grant request. The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider the City's grant request at a board meeting on or after September 16, 2003. It is proposed the City acquire approximately 40 acres for development of the water recycling facility. The approximate location of this acreage is identified as "City Purchase" on Figure 4. The remaining approximately 221 acres would be acquired through contributions from the Conservancy and the District, and would include a conservation easement. 3. ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives for this action include: 1. Introduce ordinance and subsequently adopt ordinance at a second meeting (currently scheduled for September 15, 2003). 2. Take no action. 3. Take other action as directed by the City Council. 4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The Conservancy has awarded a grant to the City in the amount of $2,000,000 for acquisition of land' and improvements in support of the Petaluma Marsh Acquisition, Enhancement and Access Project. The District's Authority Board unanimously supported the City's request of $2,006,000 in grant funding in October 2002. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider the City's request on or after September 16, 2003. As shown in Table 3, funding for acquisition of the Real ' Acquisition of Real Property considered by this Ordinance, plus two other properties. Ordinances supporting acquisition of these other properties will be presented for City Council consideration at a later date. 11 SAwater resources & conservation \Wastewater \9012 \phase 2 \city council meetings\september 8 - 2003\agenda report - land acquisition.doc Property will be achieved through a combination of City funding in the amount of $2,233,000 and grant funding from the Conservancy and the District in the amount of $1,767,000.
