RECYCLED WATER USE AGREEMENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. Petaluma's water recycling program is informed by a unique partnership between the City and seven locally owned ranches. The program supports the City's continued compliance with the: Regional Water Quality Control Board's requirements that prohibit the discharge of treated wastewater - into the Petaluma River from, May 'l through October 20, and provides for the beneficial reuse of recycled water by the. ranchers for irrigation of their pastures, current agreements with the :landowners expired in March 2004. The proposed program. involves using an average of 550 million gallons (1690 acre -feet) of recycled water on ;agricultural land annually through 2007 with an allowance for two one year contract extensions. Cit y Management g recommends - that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing CityManager to execute Agricltural, Recycled Water Use,Agreements. 2. BACKGROUND Histor The City of Petaluma began :using:reclaimed'wastewater in 1,976. The Petaluma Wastewater Irrigation;;Study, conducted by Mr. Dan:S lacci`using a,50 -acre parcel west of the City's oxidation ponds, provided firm evidence that effluent from the oxidation ponds could successfully irrigate a range of crops, including barley, wheat, oats, forage mix'; Sudan ; grass; sand "silage corn under focal s _oil' an&climatic conditions. This early effort laid, the groundwork for the City,'. s, extensive agricultural irrigation partnership with thee focal ranching community. In November. of'1979, the State Water Resources Control Board approve e City's concept of constructing an extensive water- recycling program. Two months later the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board issued an order prohibiting the City from discharging treated effluent into the Petaluma River from May 1 through October 20: This required the City to find an alternate use for the water during the warmer • months of the year, and also provide_ d the legal impetus for the City's implementation of the water- recycling program' The identified benefits of the water- recycling concept were: A Preservation of agricultural land in open space; • : Increased local agricultural productivity; and • Increased. local economic activity. The City estimated that 500 acres of agricultural land was necessary for the, recycling program: In, April of 1980. ,the City interviewed local ranchers to determine if the were - interested in receiving and using water for irrigation. Of the 26 ranchers' interviewed, 9 were interested. The nine landowners had more land available than was needed, allowing the. design engineer to most cost effective means for getting, recycled water to, the various ranches. At that time the City Council chose to develop a partnership with _local ranchers for_ utilization of the water and to. not, purchase and for the irr gation. program. Construction of the water recycling facilities was; completed in 1983 and consisted of three =pump stations; transmission pipelines, and 15 hydrants- located on the individual parcels: In 1984, the City began-pumping; recycled water under pressure to the hydrants: From the> hydrants, the landowners accepted' the water and distributed it to their lands through wheel lines and aluminum surface irrigation pipe. At the program onset, the City provided the necessary irrigation equipment. Over the years, upgrades "to the irrigation equipment have been,made'bythe ranchers through fees paid by the City to the - ranchers for utilizing the recycled water: 'In 1985 and 1986 the City, contracted with EOS to assist the landowners with application of recycled water to their lands: Ifir 1987, the City issued a Request fof. Proposals (RFP) to seven firms: fora I 0 =year contract for the application of recycled' water' to, the lands. In response,. the City received proposals from EOS and Redwood .Agricultural..Management, Inca (RAM) The City Council.approved a contract with RANI to,manage the application of recycled water to °the agricultural lands. The City extended itsecontract with RAM for' one year in 1.997 at a rate, of $3.00 /acre - foot: In 1998, the C ty 4 -year contracts directly with the seven,landownem at an average. rate of $220 per acre =foot. This approach resulted in;signifi'cant cost savings to °the progratn: The City also set, a maximum total entitlement of 2,155 acre -feet per;year for agricultural irrigation 'In 2002, the City executed,2 -year contracts with the seven,landowners. The current contracts expired `in March.2004. A historical comparison of agreement terms and rates :is provided in Table 'The, Gi tY 's National Pollutant Discharge ,Elimination System:(1VPDES)'permit still prohibits' the discharge of � treated effluent:into the Petaluma,River from May' 1 through October M 2 Current Program The City currently delivers recycled Water through eighteen hydrants (additions -in 1994 and 2002) to ten customers in Sonoma County. The majority of recycled water is currenttyused for irrigation of local agricultural. lands, and the remainder is used to irrigate a portion of Adobe. Creek Golf Course and one small vineyard. Rooster Run Golf Course is scheduled to receive recycled water starting this summer. A. Ranehing'Partnerships Each.participating landowner successfully converted their landsfrom drynative rangeland to, irrigated permanent pasture. This was accomplished through cultivation and re- seeding,of the lands. In addition, many landowners have installed'' fencing and cross - fencing to segregate fields and,manage livestock. The fencing,prevents livestock and machinery fr6 . entering irrigated fields before they dry. Today approximately' 800 acres of agricultural land is irrigated "with an average of 560 million gallons � 69:0 acre =feet) of.recycled water annually. The irrigated lands are shown on Figure .l: The recycled water is distributed from the oxidation ponds to the lands through .three pump stations operating.in series, transmission pipes and 18 hydrants. Containment,of potential.runoff is provided by nine cheek dams. -In 2003, Petaluma produced 694 million gallons (2130 acre -feet) of recycled water. This amounts to over 3.7% of the City's annual average.flow. This is one of the highest = recycled water rates in the Bay Area. B. Golf`. Course: Partnerships in 1990, the Adobe Creek'GolfUourse began payirig,the Ci'ty;for irrigation of approximately 1 acres of land. The City in the fourteenth year of a fifty -year agreement with the golf course. The golf course' annually uses about 100 million gallons (307 acre -feet) ofrecycled water -. In accordance with the, City. Council direction provided on February 25, 2002, the Department of Water Resources'and Conservation designed the Phase 1 Recycled Water Pipeline Project, which.will.convey secondary recycled water. to Rooster Run Golf Course in`the'near term, and serve; as the backbone of the City's urban recycled water program in ,the'long term.. Approximately 19,000 feet of 20 inch diameter pipeline will be installed to convey recycled - water from, the City's oxidation ponds to Rooster Run Golf Course,..It is,estimated that the annual amount -of potable water saved will be 138 million gallons (423'-acre4eet), which is equivalent to the annual.amount of water used by over 1;900 households. ;Construction of the pipeline-started last September.an d is scheduled for full commissioning, in Spring 2004. Ci Vineyard Partnership Hydran t ,1:8 was added.to theprogram in 20,02 to serve Karren Vineyard. The 30 -acre vineyard utilizes approximately 4 million gallons (f2.3 acre -feet) through a drip irrigation system each season'. 3 y. Permit The City's water reclamation; program is operated under the authority of theRogional Water Quality Control Board. The program:'s requirements. are contained in "order'No. 88 -036, which specifies how the water can be'used, the:water quality standard, and the monitoring copyofthe permit,is provided as Exhibit B to the draft agreement, which is:providedunder Attwhment,A: Criteria for the use of recycled water, in California is specified, in Title 22 of the California Code.ofRegulations., The City's wastewater'treatinent plant on. Hopper Street produces "disinfected,secondary23 wastewater" as,defiried by Title 22; As shown on ,Table 2. "disinfected,;`secondary 23 wastewater" can be used to irrigate golf °courses, sod farms, pasture for fodder crops and cemeteries. The City with Veolia'Water to monitor the activity of the Users of recycled water. Compliarice with the permit must be verified; on.a daily basis by the monitors of the program. The City informs the Regional Water Qualify' Control Board of the water recycling program.through monthly reports: The City is currently in' the design phase for the new Ellis Creek Water 'Recycling disinfected tertiary , recycled Water meeting Titlille Highway. This faciltywillproduce Facility located adjacent to, the onds,on.Lakev g e 22 requirements for'uhrestricted use. As sl own,on Table 2, allowable' irrigation :uses for °disinfected tertiary water include`parks, and playgrounds, schoolyards', residential landscaping, unrestricted access, golf courses, food crops, and other uses not prohibited by the .California Code of Regulations. Once the new plant goes online in Year 2007 water meeting California Title 22 requirements .for disinfected tertiary recycled water will be available for use in the'urban.setting. Pi ytnent for Recycled Water The ability foran entity to pay for recycled Water payment; capacity) 'is directlyrelated to the, value that, the recycled water brings to the user and .also the' value of the crop .grown by the; user: For" example, recycled water isvery'valuable to golf courses since it can be purchased zf. A lower cost than.,potable water and'is usedao grow a crop (grass) that° s essential to the user. This is true for users who operate vineyards grow truck crops; and for.. any userthat is dependent upon potable water. However, the °payment capacity of users who;' irrigate pasture is relatively limited: A report titled Farm Level Payment: Capacity for Secondary and Tertiary 'T,reated .later in - Sonoma, County (NorthwesrEconomic Associated,. March 14, 1997) concluded that "The net,returns available for (recycled) water ... are negative for apples, prunes, silage, hay /oats and ap store (Emphasis: added. Please contact Margaret :Orr at 778 -4304 if you would;like &copy of this report.) Additionally, a recent surveyof three entities; (City of 'Santa Rosa, Novato Sanitary District, and MontereyRegional Water'Polfution Control ` Agency) with water recycling,programs determined that Santa Rosa and.

Bettinelli, and Milton Tunzi (hereinafter the Users) have signed Reclaimed Wastewater Users Agreements and 'propose the following: a. Approximately 550 acres of land will be irrigated with secondary treated wastewater and used to grow fodder, fiber, or seed crops. The location and size of the areas to be ic'tfgated are generally shown on attachment A, which Is hereby made a part of this Order. b. Animals, including milking and non- miling cows and goats, will be pastured on land irrigated with 'wastewater. c. Sufficient storage and irrigation will be provided so that all the discharger's wastewater will be contained without discharge to .State Waters from May 1 through October 20 of. each year. d. From October 21 through April 30, ,wastewater may be discharged to the Petaluma River from the plant's oxidation ponds. 2. The dischar9e of wastewater faom , the Petaluma. treatment plant to the Petaluma River from October 21 through April 30 is covered by a separate set of requirements adopted Eby the Regional Board under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. 3. Section 13523 of 'the Caiifomia Water Code provides that a Regional Board, after consulting with -and receiving the recommendations from the State Department of Public Health, and ii it determines such action, to be necessary to protect the public health, safety, or welfare, shall prescribe water reclamation requirements for water which is used or proposed to be used as, reclaimed water. The use of reclaimed water for the purposes specified in Finding 1 could affect • the public health, safety; or welfare, and requirements for these uses are therefore necessary in a=rdance to the Water Code. 4. The Board adopted 'a Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for. the San Francisco Bay Basin in December 1986. The water quality objectives for reclaimed wastewater, as set forth in the Basin Plan, are specified in Title 22, Section 60301 - 60357 of the California Administrative Code. 5.

This Order serves as a General Water Reuse; Orderauthorizing municipal wastewater reuse by producers distributors and users of non - potable recycled wastewater. throughout. the region. The intent of this Order is to streamline the permitting process and delegate the responsiblity of ;administrating water reuse progra= to local agencies.to the fullest- tent possible. 2. This Order is iniended -serve as a region- wide,general permit for publicly owned wastewater water agencies that recycle treated municipal wastewater. It is intended to replace' individual.reuse Orders and applies to the following suppliers of recycled water: a. Producers of secondary and tertiary recycled water that meets CCR Title 22 water reuse criteria and is reused for a direct beneficial use or a controlled use that wo n ot otherwise occur. b. A Distributor of- recycled water.- who receives wastewater from a municipal, wastewater facility, may or may;riot:give it additional treatment to meet CCR Title 22 water reuse criteria for its intended use(s) and distributes it to users: In some cases, a written agreemen (e.g., Joint Powers Agreement or equivalent contractual agreement) between a Producer. and a Distributor may be preferable to issuing this Order to the Distributor. c Although the statewide criteria spedfied in Title 22 apply only to use of recvcled water and.not to ihe<disposal:of wastewater to land (e:g:, to meet NPbES restrictions for receiving water discharge) those discharges to land may pose an identical degree of public exposure and risk. Therefo.re,, wastewater �agendes that apply' wastewater to land through irrigation for the primary pupose of'disposal, but operate In accordance with these requirements, may also' apply to `be regulated' under this' Order. , d. It should be noted that a project that is.very complex in nature (long° term, . multi- phased projects. e.g.,2one 7/Livermore water reuse program) may best be served by an individual order. 3. A separate NPDES permit must be obtained'from'the Regional Board for projects involving the use _of ephemeral or year -round streams or other waters of the State for recycled water conveyance or direct or indirect groundwater recharge. 4. Water reuse is an essential .part of an overall program to manage focal and regional water resources. Many Local governing bodies have adopted resolutions establishing. • tn;�lr Intent to proceed with the planning, perrnitting, a of water reuse pr6ieects'.. These projects would provide ismportant.m water quality, water suppi }, And wa tewater disposal benefits for communitiesinclud_ing: ' augmentation_; and irnpro�ed reliability of local water supplie • reduction of ihe,rnass of pollutants discharged.to State waters reduction in size or deferral of the need for additional wastewater export facilities. REUSE FACELITTES AND THEIR RESPONS9BIi.ITTES 5. Most of the publicly :owned wastewater treatment, pl ants (POTWs) in the Region, hereinafter referred to as the Producers, produce treated wastewater of suffident . quality to allow its reuse for certain applications as prescribed in this Order. Water service agencies also have authority under the provisions set forth in this Order to distribute recycled water within their respective jurisdictio 6. POTWs provide at least secondary treatment to Distributors or Users under written agreements with the participating Producers /Distributors respectively.'The recycled -water meets the Quality criteria established by California Department of Health Services. (DHS) and this Order. Additional treatment by the Producer, Distributor or User - inav be necessary to meet the intended use. The Producer or . Distributor.isresponsible for;insuring that water reuse is "adequately monitored through an approved program. 7. Decisions;regarding new treatment and distribution facility -construction, operation, funding, cost- sharing: -and related aspects are the responsibility of the :Producer, Distributor and affected users. STATE RECLAMATION POLICIES AND REGULATIONS S. In )uly 1992- Section 13523.1 -was added to the California Water Code, authorizing • regional "boards to Issue: master reclamation permits to a producer and /or distributor of recycled water 'in lieu of prescribing individual water:reuse requirements for a user of recycled water. Section 13523.1 also removes the requirement, except upon written request 'of a regional board that Users file a report with a regional board to use recycled water' from a producer /distributor for whom a master reuse Order: has "been issued. Similarly, it exempts 'anv such user of recycled water•from the requirement to file a report with a regional board related to any material change in. the character of the recycled water or its use: For further discussion of State Policies and Regulations see Attachment G. State Health Regulations 9. Section, 13523 of the California Water Code provides that a Regional Board, after consultation with and, upon receipt of recommendations from DHS, and.if'it determines such :action to be necessary to protect the public health, safety, or we lfare, shall ,presrnbe water reuse requirements for water which Is used or"proposed to be used as recycled water. 10. This Order's requirements conform with and implement the Department of Health Services'T water reuse criteria as ;set forth in Title 22, Division 4, Sections 60301 through 6035'5 of the California Code of'Regulations (herein.refer -red to as the DHS reuse criteria). 'Revisions to Title 22 shall become part"of this Order automatically upon final adoption of those revisions by DHS. REGIONAL BOARD BASIN PLAN 11. The Board adopted ,a revised Water Quality .C.ontrol. Plan for the San Francisco : Bay Basin (Basin Plan) on December 17 1986 prescribing, water quality objectives for • ground and surface waters throughout the _region.. The. Board amended its Basin Plan on June 2.1, 199, and the State Water Resources Control `Board (State Board). approved it; on July 20, 1995, with approval from the State Office of..Admnistratiwe;Law on November 13, 19.95. The Basin Plan supports water reclamation and further states that the disposal of wastewater to inland, estuarine, or coastal waters is,not considered ,a permanent wastewater disposal solution where the potential exists for conservation and reclamation.. The water ,quality goals'to be used..in regulating -water quality, factors as set forth in the Basin Plan include maximum feasible reuse of muniapal, industrial, and agricultural wastewaters. Beneficial Uses The Basin 'Plan identifies existing and potential beneficial uses of the region's underlying groundwaters as: • Industrial, service -and Process supply • Municipal, and domestic supply • Agricultural supply The Basin Plan identifies beneficial uses of all surface waters of San .Francisco, Bay Region, including 'San Francisco'Bay system and its tributaries, Tomales Bay and its tributaries, coastal waters and tributaries and all inland waters. The Basin- Plan identifies beneficial uses of specified surface waters as: • 'Municipal and Domestic Water Supply • Water Contact Recreation • Non- Contact- Water , Recreation • Warm Fresh Water Habitat • Cold Fresh = Water•Habitat Wildlife. Habitat . • Fish Migration • Fish'Spawning REGIONAL BOARD'S LDdMD RECYCLING'ORDER 12. Board Order'No. 9,1-0,42, provides "blanket" authorization. for tanker -truck distribution of recycled water and the expansion of existing fixed irrigation system projects already subject to water reuse requirements.

Code Summaries California Water Code Section 13512 declares it is the intention of the Legislature that the State :undertake all possible steps to .encourage development of water 'reuse facilities so that reclaimed water may be made available to helpmeet the growing water demands of the State. Section 13510,states that the people of the state have a primary interest in the development of facilities to reuse water containing waste to supplement existing surface and. underground water supplies and' to assist in meeting the future water requirements of the State. Section 13511 states that a substantial portion of the future water requirements of this state may be economically met by beneficial use of reclaimed water. Use of recycled water constitutes the development of "new basic water supplies ". Section 13550 states that the use of potable domestic water for non potable uses; including, but not limited to, cemeteries, golf courses; parks, highway landscaped areas, and industrial an'd.irrigati'on uses, is a waste or an unreasonable use of the water, if reclaimed water -of adequate quality is available at reasonable cost. Section 1355.1 states that a person or public agency shall not use water from any source of quality suitable for potable domestic use for non potable uses, including cemeteries, ,golf courses, parks, highway landscaped areas, and industrial and irrigation uses, if suitable reclaimed water is available as provided in' Section 13550. Section 13241 states that it may be possible for the quality of water to.be changed to., sorne' degree wi thou t. nab iv affecting beneficial uses. Factors that the Board must consider when establishing or amendirig'water quality objectives include, but are not limited to , (a) P,ast,'present, and probable future beneficial uses of water. (b) Environmental characteristics, of the'hydrographic unit - under consideration; including the quality of water available thereto. (c) Water ,quality conditions that could' reasonably be achieved through the coordinated _control of all factors which affect water quality in the area. (d) Economic considerations. (e) The need for develoning'housing within the region. (f) The need to develop and, use recycled water. Re t) nal Board Basin Plan — Reclwn. atinn Policy Stunmaries Policy statement To date in this region, disposal of most municipal and industrial wastewater has Primarily involved discharges into the Regi'on's watersheds and the San Francisco estuary system. With growing awareness of the impacts of toxic discharges; the drought, future urbanization, and growth on the local aquatic habitat, there is an increasing' need to look for other sources of water. Increasingly conservation and reclamation will be needed to deal with these long -term wager issues. The Regional Board recognizes that the people of the San Francisco Bav Reyiun are interested in developing the capacity to conserve and reclaim water io suppiem;ent existing water supplies, meet future water requirements and restore the region's watersheds and estuary system -. Dispoal of wastewater to,inland., estuarine or coastal waters is not consicdered a permanent solution where the potential exists for conservation and reclamation. California Water Code states that the °State Water Resources Control Board shall take all appropriate proceedings or actions to prevent waste, unreasonable use, or unreasonable methods of use. ....Section 132- mandates' that the Regional Board encourage regional planning and action for water quality control. Source Qualitv Control The quality of influent to a reclamation plant affects the quality of effluent production, particularly in those communities that import high - quality surface water from the Sierra Nevada. Reclamation treatment and costs are directly dependent on the quality of influent into the plant. The quality of this influent depends .'on the quality of the water supply and the quality of the waste discharges to'the reclamation plant. Reclamation requires 'that industrial pretreatment and pollution prevention programs be. sufficient to remove toxic constituents. Reclamation, also requires .. adequate monitoring and enforcement. Additionally, maximum. recycling and separate treatment of waste by industries should be encouraged where feasible. Government Coordination Implementation of reclamation projects requires the involvement, approval, and support of a number of agencies, including state and local health departments, the Regional Board, local POTWs and water,districts, and land'use planning agencies. Interagency coordination must be a pribrity of all parties involved in reclamation. Failure to coordinate activities can result in the inability to carry out reclamation projects in a timely, consistent, and cost- effective manner. The Regional Board seeks • cooperation and participation of professionals from the water reclamation industry and the water, health, and regulatory agencies to ensure the development of criteria that are both attainable and appropriate. Regional Water Quality Control Board - Water Reuse Peanuts If a Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) determines that it is necessary to protect public health, safety, or welfare, it may prescribe water reclamation (reuse) requirements where reclaimed water is used or proposed to be used (Water Code Section 13523). Where regulatory reclamation criteria has been adopted by the Department of Health Services no person may either recia m water or use reclaimed water until the Regional Board has either issued reclamationrequirements or waived the necessity for such .requirements (Water Code Section 1324). In the process of issuing reclamation requirements, the Regional Board'.must consult with and consider recommendations of th`e:Department (Water Code Section 13523). Any reclamation requirements which are issued by the Regional Board, whether applicable to the reclaimer or to the user of reclaimed water, must include or be in conformance with any regulatory reclamation criteria adopted by the Department. 11 A I f Department of Health Services - Title 22 Wastewater Reclamation Criteria To assure protection of public health where water use is involved, the California • Department of Health Services (Department) has been statutorily directed to 'establish statewide reclamation aitena for the various uses of reclaimed water (Water Code Section 13521). The Departrriernthas, promulgated regulatory criteria, which are currently, set forth in the. California ,Code of Regulations Title -Z 2 ), Division 4,, Section 6630'i .et seq. The Department's regulatory criteria ; include : numerical limitations and requirements, treatment method requirements, and provisions and requirements related;to sampling and analysis, engineering reports, design, operation,. maintenance and reliability of ,facilities. The Department's regulations also permit the, granting of exceptions to reclaimed water quality requirements in some cases, call fora case -by- case reviewof :groundwater recharge projects, and !allow use of altemative:,methods of treatment so long as the alternative methods used are determined by the Department to assure equivalent treatment and reliability: Many_of the regulatory requirements related to sampling,.-analysis, engineering reports, personnel, operation and design are nan adve in nature and leave room for discretionary decisions based on the.iridiv dual situation in .each case.
