WATER AGENCY (SCWA) OF POTTER VALLEY PROJECT, AND PRESENTATION
BY THE SCWA REGARD1NG'6.6% WATER RATE INCREASE TO THE CITY.
DISCUSSION OF A 18% CITY RATE INCREASE FOR WATER
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: .
The City Council met in a study.session at Lucchesi Community Center on.January 10, 2000,
with the Sonoma County Water Agency for a workshop on Regional`Watershed and Basin
®
r,Planning and Setting Future Agendas fo other Regional Water Issues. A second study session
• was held April 24,2000 for discussion and providing direction_to management with an emphasis
on the proposed 11`h Amended-Agreement,to the Sonoma County Water Agency for water
supply and draft memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding:Water transmission system
capacity allocation during temporary impairment. The meetings:of July 17 and 24, 2000 are a •
continuation of those discussions plus SCWA and proposed City rate increases'as well as the
possible acquisition of the Potter Valley Project.
- 2. BACKGROUND:
After the;watershed,discussions from the,January 10, 2000 meeting, a second workshop was held
on April 24,;2000 withran emphasis on thel l`h Amended Agreement for Water Supply and
discussions were begun on the Memorandum of Understanding regarding the impaired water
supply.
•
If the Sonoma'County Water-Agency and the contract purchasers of water supply can agree upon
a Memorandum of Understanding to allocate the impaired water supply, this will avoid the State
Department of Public HealthstePping in and:determining the allocations for us: The Impaired .
Water Supply°Memorandum of Understanding has-gone through 12 drafts to arrive at the '
attached final MOU. City,management is satisfied that the MOU provides a fair allocation for
the City of Petaluma as a participant in the regional water system. The-memorandum also
includes a provision for a minimum water tank elevation in Kastania tank to insure the
downstream-users on the Petaluma Aqueduct system do not deplete,Petaluma's aqueduct storage
glIr or severely impair the Petaluma aqueduct's pipeline delivery capacity to our city.
The agencies on the South Petaluma Aqueduct have developed the attached operating procedure.
These procedures establish-the criteria-for various stages of increasing impairment of delivery
capability. :City management isM agreement with the operating procedure agreement.

_
TM
Beginning July 1, 2000;,the Sononia;County Water Agency will increase its.charges to the City
for wholesale purchase of water by 6.6%. Sonoma County Water Agency staff will be making a
presentation regarding the rate increase. It is important to note thafit is anticipated that each
year, for the next five to:seven years,a similar rate increase;will be passed,along to the City of
Petaluma and other agency contractors. It'isJ also important.tonote that the City last raised its
charge to customers in 1995 even though we have had passed rate increases from the Sonoma
County Water Agency. Since we last raised our rates in 1995,our wholesale costs have gone up
by 20%, not including the new 6.6% effective January 1, 2000, The proposed 18% rate increase
to City customers will do the following: '1)Pass along a portion.of the rate increase from the
County Water Agency to our customers, 2) Slow the rate of depletion of Resources and
Conservation Department reserves currently=being effected by absorbing wholesale water rate
increases,,3) Fund the Water Resources and=Conservation Department component of the five
new positions approved in the City 2000/2001 budget for the reorganized Department of Water
Resources and Conservation.
Sonoma County Water Aaencv's.Possible Acquisition of the Potter Valley Project
Included in the packet are attachments regarding recent correspondence regarding the Potter
Valley Project. Pastdiscussionsby the City Council regarding the Potter Valley Project have
been in the,greater context of overall water supply issues and Federal energy regulations.
Acquisition of the project was discussed four or five years ago when PG&E first considered
divesting themselves from the project This meeting will be the Council's first opportunity to
revisit the issue in the context of current<acquisition opportunity..
• 3. ALTERNATIVES:
A.
11th Amended Agreement
1) Not approve.
2) Suggest revisions which will require other contracting agencies to approve any
modifications.
B. MOU Temporary Impairment
1) Not approve. •
2) Suggest revisions.
3) Suggest revisions.such as require Rohnert Park to meter on an accelerated
schedule or Sonoma County Water Agency to turn off agencies taking
water in excess•of their entitlement:
C. Operating Procedure for South Petaluma Aqueduct
1) Not approve.
2) Suggest revisions.
D. SCWA 6.6% Water Rate Increase. .Provide Direction to Staff to Convey to SCWA
and/or Board of Supervisors
E. City proposed 18%Rate Increase
1) Not institute
2) Modify the amount of increase.
3) Phase timing of increase. •
=i) lnsti *+te rate increases'in steps.
F. Set date for continued.discussion re: Potter Valley Project. •
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Many financial impacts are undetermined;at this time and are very.complex. The 6.6% increase
by SCWA will raise our wholesale purchase price. (See attached memo dated 6/28/00 from
Steve Simmons for a detailed discussionoffinancial impacts.)
5. CONCLUSION:
•
The future long-term water supply,as well as the next five to ten year impaired water supply and
delivery issues, is extremely complex and significant issues that will continue to be brought to
the City Council in order to provide the:most redundancy. The City should participate in the 1 Ph
Amended Agreement's pipeline and added entitlement project. The City should also join in •
equitable sharing of water resources during the time of impaired delivery capacity by operating
procedures that help insure our fair share.
6. RECOMMENDATION:
A. 11th Amended Agreement
Pass Resolution authorizing City manager to approve amendment. Management
recommends approval for the following reasons:
• • 1. Amendment 11 provides a redundant transmission pipeline. The existing pipe is
into the second half of its design life.
•
2. The City can•decrease its requested take from thepipeline. Currently,the City
requests 21.7 mgd, an'increase from the existing 17.0 mgd. This matches the •
existing General Plan:
3. If groundwater use:becomes impaired, consistent water conservation goals are not -
met/or maintained, andwater recycling/water efficiency goals are not met and/or
maintained,'additional,Russian River water will be necessary.
4. Current Russian River-water quality is goad. Most groundwater has iron and
other impurities that will necessitate more expensive well head treatment in the •
future.
5. Engineers support redundancy in utilities both source of supply and transmission
facilities.
•
B. MOU Temporary Impairment •
Pass Resolution authorizing City-manager"to approve.MOU for following reasons: •
•
1. Equitable allocation of impaired..resource:
2. Avoids State Department of Health deciding allocation.
C. Operating Procedures
• •
®' Pass Resolution.-authorizing,`City Manager and Director of WaterResources?and
.Conservation to sign operatingprocedures for South Petaluma,Aqueduct,for the
followingreasoris:
•
J. Developed by users of system.
•
2. Provides"operatingperiterria tb.benefit of Petaluma.
•
3. Will;develop closer working relationships before impaired delivery becomes more
critical.
• D. City Water-Rate Increase
Bing Resolution to increase charge for water to August 7, 2000 Council meeting for
adoption for following reasons:
1. Passes along to consumer cost for purchase of wholesale water. (Our
costs have increased-20% since 1995 but we have not raised our rates in that time
period.)
2. Provides:funding;foradditional staffing for new'Department of Water Resources
a and Conservation requested m budget subject to rate:increase. (Funding for four
• of five.positions`is�!split equally between.water and,sewerrevenues, one is fully
funded by water revenues-- $210,000 of the$900;000,generated by rate increase
is for new employees)
3.. Blowsrate of depletion of Water Resources and Conservation Department budget
reserves (without rate increase, $900,000 lossofreseryes).
4. Water rates have-not beenxraised,since'1995 while,costs of providing service has
increased. Therate increase will also support General Plan preparation, new
Geographic InformatiorrSystem,water rate study,,and expanded water
efficiency/conservation.programs.

I. SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY
•
One of the hydroelectric projects Pacific Gas and Electric Company("PG&E")proposes to
sell is the:Potter Valley Project("PVP"): For almost one hundred.years,;the PVP has been providing
significant water supply benefits:toiMendocino, Sonoma,and Mann Counties.' This testimony is
presented:on behalf of:the Sonoma County.Water Agency ("SCWA");gone of the public entities
whose water supply is dependent upon;thePVP.
SCWA is the primary provider of potable water for about 3 50 000 people in Sonoma County
• and northern Mann County.2 SCWA also;provides`a:supplemental water supply to another 170,000
people inthe Marin Municipal Water District:service area.
This testimony has three.purposes. 'First,the testimonyyprovides background information on
SCWA and its interests in the PVP, Second,the testimonexplains how the PVP is critical to the
economic.well-being of Mendocino, Sonoma, and'Marin Counties?'Third, the testimony explains
why the PVP is not appropriate candidate for decommissioning. Attachment A to this Testimony
sets forth the qualifications ofits sponsor, Robert F. Beach.
II. OVERVIEW OF SCWA,AND ITS INTERESTS IN THE PVP
A: SCWA,andIts;Mission
SCWA is a special district created by the State Legislature to act as the local sponsor of two
federal flood control and water supply projects in the Russian'River region,known collectively as the
"Russian River Project". (See Stats. 1949, Chapter 994 as amended). As described below.the PVP
Collectively, the Counties'are referred to as;the North Bay Region:.
SCWA furnishes potable„water-to,the cities;oFSanta Rosa. Petaluma, Rohnert Park,Cotati and Sonoma,and
• to the North Marin Valley of the Moon'and Foresrville Water Districts. SCWA also furnishes potable water to
seiieral^private water companies.

Irrigation District;("PVID")(which serves an agricultural valley in Mendocino County where the Eel
River diversions enter the East Fork Russian .River); Mendocino County Russian River Flood
Control and Water Conservation Improvement District ("MCIDP );,,which serves, generally, the
agricultural ar d region below Coyote Dam in-Mendocino County:andthe City of Ukiah service area;
and the Redwood Valley Water,District ("RVWD")'north of Ukiah. The region also includes
'Sonoma County's Alexander an agricultural.area not currently served by'anypublic water
agency, which also depends on the PVP'for,its water supply. The Alexander Valley area is the
portion of the Russian River Valley in,Sonoma Cbunty'between Cloverdale and Healdsburg and is

6 This function is:carried out pursuant to a 1986 decision of the California Water Resources Control Board,
Dec. 1610, adopted April 17, 1986. This decision amends>SC•Ws sater'rights.permits and establishes
criteria for coordinating the operation of thettwo'federal,projects. SCWA controls the water supply storage

D. Sonoma County'Recreation'and.SCWA Transmission System Service Area
• In addition to the economic benefits described above that-the,PVP provides:to:-Sonoma and
Mendocino County agriculture, the.PVP-also supplies economic benefits to Sonoma and Marin
County urban areas. SCWA.transtnission system:custoniers.relyprimarily on Warm Springs Dam
• for their water supply'`. However some of the Eel River water diverted by the PVP is used within .
SC WA's service area In addition,'the Russian River-,;augmented;by Eel River diversions,provides
significant aesthetic:benefits to the region. Eel,;River diversions provide the water to support the
Russian River's summer flow. This summer-flow supports a wide variety of'summer recreation
activities, including fishing, camping boating and swimming.
No attempt-hds`beemniade to quantify precisely the economic impact on the North Bay
Region which would result from the loss ofthe PVP'watersupplyifthe PVP were.decorrirnissibned..
''Warm Springs,,Dam<releases reach the Russian River at its.confluence With Dry'.Creek:south:+of the City of
Healdsbura. Absenta-change in SCWA s water rights, these releases would have to be increased to make up
any loss in PVP diversions;thus affecting SC,WA's ability to serve.its transmission system customers. Warm

•
.-
However, based On the information contained in Tables 1 through 3;/it>is apparenr,thatthe loss/Of
agricultural production:and the additional losses associated with the diminished;municipal.water
supplyt' would be enormous. Additional losses would occur in recreation and tourism,, and
electrical energy production at both"the.Potter=Valley powerhouse and at the City ofOlciah's
power plant:at/Coyote-Datn. These losses would translate;into substantial indirect:impacts;on the
regional.economy;i 4
W. THE PVP IS NOT AN,APPROPRIATE.CANDIDATE'FOR DECOMMISSIONING
- The'ScopinglMemo=and>Ruling of Assigned-Commissioner and Administrative Law"Judge,
dated:January 13,2000,states:that the Commission will "decommissioning'offacilities that
are uneconomic,to run on a stand-alone basis or where,environmental damages Of a change jin
ownership -outweigh the energy-associated 'economic:benefits" in the California Envfrorimental •
Quality Act ("CEQA").phase as well as the,idivestiture phase:of this proceeding:,In addition;.one `
party`has suggested,that the PVP"couldbe•decommissioned to restore critical spawning and
habitat for [fisheries] now on the brink of extinction." This section describes why
-decommissioning`is;not,appropriate for the PUP.
The Commission_should:not consider decommissioning because the PVP is an economic
project. ;Moreover; the PVP•has not caused':the decline in Eel River fishery"and.decommissioning.•
Springs.Dam releases could not, however, make up anylloss in the;Russian'River above-Healdsburg:
'The Russian River also,provides a municipal;water supply in;the Ukiah,Cloverdale and Healdsbur2'areas, in
• addition to the supply/provided/through SCWA's transm ssion'system.
'Hydrologtcmodeling,water rights allocation modeling,and economic modeling usinganinput=output;model
would be needled to rigorously define the direct<and multiplier, or"ripple",effects of such a ilos s of?water'
supply. _ •

currently is ;considering;alternatives for modifying;PVP operations to'improve Eel River fishery
conditions. .
A. The PVP'is"an EconomicProject.,
The PVP's enormous economic benefits which'accrue to the North Bay Region incidentally
to the operation of the PotterValley Projectaredescribed above: However; the PVP also is viable
from an electric-power generationstandpoint alone, when,annual;operation and maintenance costs
are compared to revenues.
In its annual reports'to the Commission and-to FERC,PG&E has'disclosed the operation and
maintenance costs for the PVP listed in Table4 below. •

Based upon the:analysis containechin Attachment E, annual.revenue from PVP power,sales
could be expected to'be $ • per year, plus any revenue received from the sale of ancillary services.

decommissioning the PVP restore these fish populations.
• Decisions to list-Eel River fish species under the ESA are made by NMFS': NMFS,publishes
• notices in the Federal Register documenting its decisions. The Federal Register notices regarding •
Eel River fish species identify many contributing'factors, past and present, that have led'65 The

•
• • C. FERO Currently' is Considering Ml difications to-PUP'I-Operations to
IniProve,Conditionsfor the Eel River Fishery. •
The quantity of water PG&E diverts from the Eel'Riverieach year is affected by releases it
must make to maintain the Eel River fishery. The required'fishery release:schedule is includedin
PG&E's FERC license. In` 1 983, FERC issued PG&E anew license�b which required PG&E to
conduct a ten-year monitoring study of the effects of P VP'operations on downstream fish resources
(in the Eel"River): In 1988,after the study was completed and its results analyzed,PG&E submitted
an application to FERC to modify,its'federal license to improve.Eel River, fishery conditions.
PG&E's application wassupported by the California Department of-Fish and Game,the U. S.Fish
and Wildlife Service, and NMFS. Numerous entities, including NMFS and iSCWA, are currently
participating in the resulting FERC proceeding. (Project 77-110) In 1x998, FERC issued a draft
0 Environmental Impact Statement to analyze PG&E's proposal and three alternative proposals
(including one prepared by SCWA). NMFS and FERC are currently debating whether PG&E's
proposed modifications will jeopardize the existence of listed-Eel River fishery.17
Given the ongoing and active federal proceeding; the Commission should not use the
divestiture proceeding as the forum for trying to resolve the debateIover'the health of the Eel River
fishery.
// •

16 PG&E's FERC license will expire in 2022.
On January l'4, 2000, NMFS issued'a draft biological opinion•proposing.an alternative flow schedule not
considered.in the Draft EIS'. •FERC's February 1,I. 2000', response took issue with NMFS draft analysis.
NMFS is expected towssue,a final biological opinion in March.

•
V. THE COMMISSION;SHOULD'ENSURE'THAT ANY'PVP DIVESTITURE DOES •
NOT PRECLUDE?PUBLIC;AGENCY ACQUISITION.AND,THAT THE"IMPACTS -
OF ALL OWNERSHIP ALTERNATIVES ARE ANALYZED FULLY UNDER CEQA.
•
A. Public Agency.Acquisition
• Public ,agencies will •already be at a disadvantage in pursuing acquisition` ofPG&E'ss .
hydroelectric facilities because of the lead tithe• required to secure financing. In addition to
disadvantages attiibutedto financing,publicagencies mustalso ensure that theycomplywith•CEQA
when making decisions about purchasing.a'•hydroelectric'faeility: Unless the Commission's EIR:is
adequate for these agencies as responsible;agencies under CEQA, local agencies will be further
disadvantaged because they will either be required;to:prepare additional environmental analyses or
be prevented from bidding. Placing public agencies at such a disadvantage:is not'in the :public
interest,.both'for market share reasons and public water supply reasons..Therefore,the Commission
. Should:ensure'its EIR;provides'a basis:under CEQA for local public agency;acquisition of the

VI. SCWA SUPPORTS 'PG&E'S REQUEST` TO ,SELL .SEPARATELY ITS
WATERSHED
PG&E's February 1, 2000, filing of supplemental testimony'requests that the Commission
segregate the approximately Th444,acres:of PVP watershed'lands and allow PG&E to sell the lands
separatelyby listing with a qualified broker. (PG&E Supplemental Testimony p. 1-2.) SCWA
supports:PG&E'srequest to Segregate sale of these lands.
VII. CONCLUSION
SCWA requests that the sCommisiontecognize,the vital,role the,Potter Valley Project plays
• in the economic and environmental-well-being of the Mendocino, Sonoma, and ,Marin County
region. The Commission's public interest responsibility requires that it ensure that public agencies
are fairly treated and that anysale of the PVP.protects the region.

TheiF.V.P_.'s Viial`Redional!Role,.
•
Thel,PV,P.playsa'vital•,role in the economic_and^environmentaIwell-being of the Mendocno,,,S_onoma,
and Mann county region. Benefits from the :PVP include;water, supply, agriculture recreation,
aesthetics, and tourism: The benefits summarized below were detailed in the testimony of Rebert..P.
Beach, before the CPUC on March 2, 2000. We have enclosed a copy of that testimony for your
convenience (Exhibit,)9)'. .
Municipal and,Adricultural WaterSuboly
For ;almost one 'hundred years, the FVP has ,provided water supply benefits to Mendocino and
Sonoma Counties;;and more recently to Mahn Oounty., PG&E?s Potter Valley facilities, have diverted .
water into,the.Russian River..since 1908. Between 1923 and 1992, the PVP'has diverted,an average .
orapprozimately 1;89;000 acre-feet ofwater peryear'into the Russian River.
The.PVP "affects the service areas oi'several public water agencies in Mendocino County, including:' •
• The Potter Valley Irligation'Distncf'(PVID), which serves an agnculturah•valley in Mendocino
Countywhere the Ee R ver diversions,-enter the.Epst Fork Russian Rive;.
•
• The Redwcbd Valley Water Distridt, (RVWD), which serves an agricultural valley"nerth of
Ukiah; and
• The Mendocino County Russian River Flood 'Control and Water`Conservation Improvement
District,(MCID), which serves, generally, the agricultural region in Mendocino County below
Coyote Valley Dam (wnibh forms Lake Mendocino on the East• Fork Russian River
. .downstream of Potter Valley) and the City of Ukiah service.area. •
The PVP also provides water sup ply'benefitartodSonom? and Mann Counties<as'presented'below:-
• Irrigation'for Sonoma, County's Alexander ,Valley depends primarily on the FVP for its 'water' •
supply.. The Alexander Valley area is the 'portion Of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma
2
County between Cloverdale and Healdsburg and is not curr€ntly seved• by any public water
agency;
• Municipal water supply between the Cloverdale and Healdsburg;areas depends primarily on
the PVP;;and
• The Agency's transmission system customers, which include tne::cities of Cotati, 'Petaluma,
Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa and Sonoma, and the Forestville,'Valley or the Moon„North Mann,
and Marin Municipal Water Districts; rely; in part,.oh the PVP]diversions. The A9ency is the
primary provider of potable water for about 350,000;people:in Sonoma' County and :northern ,
Marin County. The Agency-also, pro"vides a supplemental 'wetter supply to approximately
another 170;000 people in ,.the Marin Municipal Water District.; service area The Agency's
transmission system customers rely`primarily on releases from Lake Sonoma, which is
impounded by Warm Springs Darn along*Dry Creek:in Sonoma Cdunty, for e water supply;
however, the PVP does affect the Agency's ability to carry LoUt its water supply duties. For .
example, under existing Russian River flow requirements,,the,Agencywould have to increase
Warm Springs Dam releases to Make Up for any reduction in 'Russian River flow below
Healdsbura caused by a loss in PVP diversions; thus reduc,na the volume of water available
in Lake Sonoma iforthe Agency to utilize for serving its,cuscriiers. It is important to realize
that Warm' Springs Dam,releases only affect flows in 4h& Russian”River below its confluence
with Dry Creek and cannot make up-any loss in Russian Riverflows'iabove Dry Creek caused
by reduced PVP flows. .
Agriculture
Many of the agricultural areas in Mendocno County and in Sonoma C'ount's Alexander Valley have
developed because.of; and 'continue to rely on, diversions from;the FVP: Theagridultural areas:that
depend upcn continued diversions from the FVP ,to. maintain their viability annually :produce more
than S250,000;000,worth..,of crops (pnmaniy:vineyardssupporina the.wine industry and pears).
•
•
Aesthetics: Recreation. and Tourisrn
The Russian River, iaugMented by PVP diversions, provides rsignifitaht. aesthetic; and recreational.
benefits to the region. PVP diversions';provide the water to support=the RussiantRiver's summer flow.. , .
This summer flow supports a wide variety of summer recreation activities, 'including fishing, camping,
boating, canoeing„and swimming. Recreational activities at Lake:Mendocino and•:Lake Sonoma also
depend` bath directly'-and indirectly on.flows'from the'..PVP. The aesthetic.and recreational-.benefits'
provided bythe Russian Rivet help support tourism'in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties:
Recommendations ForAlternatives
As noted:above; there are=substantial watersupply `interests that rely;an the;continued'operatidn of
the PVP. Therefore "acquisition or the FVP iby a Russian'River water supply'interest is a "reasonably
foreseeable' alternative'.,and should,be evaluated in the EIR. With respectto the PVP, the,CPUC's
EIR should, among:other,thinas:
• Analyze the environmental effects df divestiture of the PVP;separately from,the other Drum
Watershed=Region;facilities;
• Analyze as a "reasonably foreseeable alternative the environmental' effects of acquisition of
the PVP by one or'more Russian River,water supplyinterests;tand
• Screen and reject decommissioning the PVP as a reasonably foreseeable. alternative. :The
EIR should not analyze in detail the Oossible 'environmental effects' of decommissioning:the.
PVP, given that decommissioning is neither a feasible nor reasonably'foreseeable alternative
in light of the critical importance of'the, PVP..'s water suoply"benefits to Mendocino; Sonoma,
and Mann;counties:
Via:
•
•
Analysis often "Unbundled" Basis
The PVP is hydrologically and 'geographically separate from,'the PG&E facilities comprising the
remainder or the Drum Watershed Region. Therefore, the Agency believes that the EIR should .
analyze the PVP`separatelyfromthe,otherDniin facilities. .
PG&E has requested that the CFUC segregate the approximately'3,444 acres of PVP watershed
lands not necessary to operate the PVP; and allow PG&E to,sell the lands separately by listing with a
qualified broker, The Agency supports PG&E's request to segregate, sale of these lands as these
lands are hot 'nedessary to operate the PVP. However, since. 'the CPUC has not yet determined
whether to segregate sale ofthese lands; Agency staff requests that the.CPUC's.Draf4 ER include in
its analysis the potential environmental impacts associated with the sale of these lands and the
impacts associated with the-reasonably foreseeable future usestof'these lands.
•ussian River Water Suooly Interest •
The Acencyr believes the EIR should. include: as 'an alternative. the ,environmental effects of the
acquisition of the PVP'by•a Russian 'River water supply interest Sucht:an acquisition is "reasonably
foreseeable" given the importance or the^PVP to the water supply needs or the Mendocino, Schema.
and Marin county areas. For example; th"e Agency's existing agreement with its water contractors
expressly contemplates the potential acquisition 'of the FVP 'by the Agency if authorized by the
Agency's water contractors.
When evaluating this alternative, the CPUC.should use as the environmental„baseline one;of two flow
schedules. The first;possiblefbaseline is the 'Interim' flow schedule presently used.b9•FG&E;,whidh
is also the recommended flow schedule; in the Federal Energy Reaulatcry Cornrnissions, (FERC)
Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the,Protection and Maintenance of Fishery Resources at •
the Potter-Valley Project, California,.FERC Project .T-110:'• The`;National Marine Fisheries Service
' In 1983, FERC issued PG&E=.a nenr'licsnse (whjch':expires-in 2022) thatrequired PG&E to.,,concuct'a ten-year

reiated _reverive Of approximately $11,250;000. .Analyzing only energy-associated economic
benefits as identified in the NOP, (page 6, Altematives) would therefore: underestimate the
overall economic benefits to the agricultural and urban.areas'that rely on the PVP for water . •supply; •
• The PVP is an economic prcject. In addition to the econoniict benefits of the PVP to the
region, the-PVP •:also is viable 'from`an electric power generation standpoint alone, when
annual operation and maintenance:costs are compared torevenues;
• `Much of the discussion regarding decommissioning the PVP stemsfrdm allegations that the •
PVP harms•Eel River fisheries: '.However; the PVP has not`caused the decline of the Eel River
fishery. The Eel:River supports three•fish species that have been designated as "threatened"
under The ESA or are proposed for such designation — chinook salmon, coho salmon, and
steelhead trout. The PVP `h-as not caused the• decline in these fish populations and
decommissioning the PVF will 'not restore these fish populatipn"s. 'Decisions to list Eel River
fish species under the 'ESA are made by NMFS. 'NMFS;publishes notices in the ,Federal.
Register documenting its decisions. The Federal;Register notices regarding'the Eel River fish
species identify.many.contributing factors; past-and present;:that have led to the decline of the
Ee! River fish. While the presence'cf hydroelectric projects within The region is identified as
one potential contributing factor, it'ist neither the•sole pabSe pfV the decline nor necessarily
even one of the major factors'.contributing to the decline. Factors listed by NMFS include
habitat degradation, waterdiversions'(in addition'to' th'e PVP); harvest; artificial propagation
(fish hatcheries), drought,;floods; and'poor ocean conditions ;
• FERO is currently considering FG&E's proposed •modifications to 'the PVR:ooerations to.

Lake'Pillsbury',has a watershed.of appraximately•268aquare miles'and the Lake
Mendocino watershed is-only approximately 1;05 Square;miles. The winter storage
capacity of Lake Pillsbury,is approximately 56,000 acre-feet and the winter storage
capacity of Lake•Mendocino is approximately 69,000'acre-feet. Because the watershed
of Lake Pillsbury is so much,greater than that of Lake Mendocino, and because'Lake
Pillsbury winter`storage-capacity is smaller than that of LakeY,Mendocino„it would seem
intuitive thattLake Pillsbury wouldialways fill before Lake Mendocino. If that were true,
the interests of maximizing powerproduction.atthe Potter Valley powerhouse and
conserving the Russian River water supply would coincide, since any water
discretionarily released from Lake Pillsbury storage would bestored in Lake
Mendocino.
However,an examination of recent hydrologic,model.study results performed by
the-Sonoma County:Water•Agency't(SCWA) indicate that.Lake Pillsbury filled its winter
storage capacity before Lake,'Mendocino in only 15toutof 67 years: In 40 years Lake
Mendocino filled first;'and 9years the'two reservoirs filled at:aboutthe.:same time This
is attributable to the fact that,;a signficant amount or,the?precipitation occurring in the
Lake Pillsbury watershed during the winteraccumulates.as snowpack,-and to the
substantial interbasin transfer or"waterwhich occurs during the winter. In-three years
neither reservoir filled to itswinter storage capacity. This-suggests that a water supply
benefit might result from limiting releases from Lake Pillsbury.durine the fall and winter
to those required to maintain a powerhouse flow equal to the required release from
Lake Mendocino during periods when;Lake Mendocino'is•full. This mode of operation
would ensure that all water which could be stored, would•be stored.
Lake Pillsbury is equipped with Tainter gates whichmust remain open during the
winter for safety reasons, but areclosed in butare,clased irrithe spring. Lake Mendocino water supply
storage is allowed to encroach into-the'flood control storage space in the spring after
the flood risk has passed. As aresult, in the spring the storage capacity of Lake
Pillsbury and Lake Mendocino increase:.to approximately 76,000 acre-feet and 90,000
acre-feet, respectively: SSWA's'hydrologic model studies indicate that in';a number•of
years Lake Mendocino-fills to its summer storage capacity and Lake Pillsbury does not,
e.g.; 1'939. Again, this suggests.;that a water supply benefit might;result from limiting
releases from ,Lake Pillsbury during the spring to those required to maintain a
powerhouse flow equal to the required release from Lake Mendocino during periods'
when Lake Mendocino is fail,

Subject: Report to WAC on status.of the Potter Valley Project-.including recommended actions.
Ladies and Gentlemen: •
For almost 100 years, the Potter Valley Project(PVP) has been producing energy. Since 1923,
average diversions from the Eel.Riverthave amounted to 159,000 acre feet per year (afa). These
•
diversions have helped create and sustain.a Shriving economy in the Russian.River watershed and
in areas where Russian River Water,is imported. The agricultural segmentof the economy alone
is valued at more than$250 million per year.
With the help•of Consultant Bob Beach,the,Agency has analyzed in detail the distribution of
water diverted by the,PVP using:21 years of hydrologic records and streamflow models
developed by PG&E, the Department of Interior/National Marine Fisheries,Service (DOI/NiMMFS)
and the Agency. This analysis,shows that 60% to 68 o of diversions'are used in Mendocino
County, 11% to 12% are used in the-Middle,Reach of the'Russian River (Sonoma County above
Dry Creek) and 21% to 28% are usedin the'Lower Russian River(Sononia?

(Obtained from Robert F. Beach)
MCID Repudiation.of.Water Supply Agreement .
On May 19, 1992 the Agency entered into,an(agreement with;the Mendocino County Russian.River Flood
Control.and Water Conservation Improvement District(MCID). Under this contract the.Agency agreed,to.
allow MCID to divert 13,000 acre-feettof water under the Agency's water rights permits associated with
'Coyote Valley'Dam on an "as available":basis. hi{return, Mdlliagreed to account and report water use
within MCID. The agreement provided that it would terminate after five years iftheState Water Resources
Control Board,(SWRCB)had not issuedby thattime'a final order approving changes in,points of diversion
and place of use under the Agency's;water rights permits: Such approval,is a legal prerequisite for the
implementation of the agreement ;Th. e'five year has long passed Nevertheless; the Agency,proceeded'in
good faith to;pursue approvalrofan application to the SWRCB to secure the changes in points of diversions
and place of use;and offered to MCID anagreement:extending,the time for securing the water rights permit
changes.
On"March 27,2000, however,MCID;rejected the+Agency's:offer and notified therAgency and SWRCB that
it did not intend to sign the extension agreement.,A good working relationship with MCID,such as would
have resulted from the MCD water;supply agreement is an-essential element.of any regional effort to
acquire the Potter Valley Project and,equitably:share the costs. Agency,staff has:had several meetings with .
Mendocino 'County and Potter Valley representatives; 'however, no consensus regarding a regional
acquisition of the.PVP has been reached.
PVID Opposition,to SCWA-Flow Proposal,
. The Potter Valley Irrigation District.(PVID).has joined with Pacific Gas.and'Electric Company(PG&E)in
supporting a 'PG&E/PVID alternative flow proposal'in the currently pending license, amendment
proceedings before FERC. This flow,proposal is in,direct competition;with the flow proposal filed by the
Agency with FERC. In return for its+;support; PG&E;has agreed to a minor:change in its flow proposal
which makes water saved by reducing Russian River minimum stream flows"in dry years,available to PVID.
The PG&E/PVID flow proposal is notin'the best interests of Sonoma County water interests:. .
Potter Valley Project1s:Essential to the Water Transmission System
While the fact that the loss of Potter Valley Project-diversions ;could have an adverse impact on the .
reliability of the Agency's water transmission system has 'been:recognized;for many years, and was
discussed in some detail in the 1996 Urban Water Management Plan, the impact has;only recently been
quantified. With no Potter Valley Project diversions;the water transmission system would suffer significant
annual losses depending on Russian River flow requirements: 'Ina majority of the years there is no impact,
filiowever, in a few drought years the impact is;very large'and result in cuts that aresunacceptable.

Subject: Re ApplicationNo .,99 09-053 '
Response of<City/Special Distri' 61>,th;CP ueNOR of Draft EIR•concerning
application submitted by PG&E entitled:
• "`Application to Marl et Value:Hydroelectric Generaturg Plants and,Related Assets
Pursuant to Public UtilitiesCode Sections 367(b) and;851"
Dear„Mr:`Kaneshiro:
The <City/Special District> owns anct operates a-water system;,providing potable service and;fire
protection'to • residential, commercialjnstitutional and industrial customers. This a
vital service maybe impacted by'PG&E'-s proposed divestiture of the Potter Valley"Project,
(PVP) which is:included°in the,subject�application (mcludedLM.PG&E s Drum'Watershed;Region
Bundle).
The-<City/Special District> derives most ofits water from the Sonoma'.County Water,Agency.
(Agency)-which diverts'water from the•Russian River,pursuant to water rights issued by the'State
Water ResourcesControlBoard. Upstream of Agency's point of.diversion-the PVP., on average;
• imports 159,000 acre-feet per annum (afa)from the.Eel River into'the;RussianRiver watershed.
Iinportationof'EelRiver water has beenlgoingson consistently since nearthe turn of the last
century and'has resulted in.signtficant water.-supply'benefits in,the Russian'River watershed:•
Testimony before,the Federal Energy Regulatory.Commission(FERC)with regard to a•pending
pr=oceeding dealing"with amendment`of Eel River,diversions=indicates the'agricultural benefits in
•
the RUssiati:River watershed alone;amount to over$250;000,000 per year It is apparent;that the
water supply benefits'in the.Russian River watershed area due to,the PVP operation clearly
outweigh:power productionbenefits.
•
Comments:
1. Termination of-Eel River Diversions: Divestiture of the;PVP could;result in a number,'of •
alteativeszthat could impact<the <Cify/S
m pecial District> significantly: For instance, the P-VP
• might be acquired.bya party who would be interested in,discontinuing the Eel'.River'
diversionsr,entirely. While=we believe this is aremote possibility, discontinuing;diversions
would result irrsignificanbadverseinipacts on the city's/specidt Distfct's>water supply.
•
•
•
Based on;operatronal,studies conducted by the SC;WAusing stream flow models submitted in
•the pending;FERC proceedings; significant deficiencies are predicted at the SCWA's point of
diversioniin critical-dry years. Such deficiencies could'cause Agency's Water Contractor's,
including the <City/Special,District> to impose rationing. We do:not believe this is la
feasible alternative,but if it is examined in the EIR, it is necessary tha •theiimpacts on water
users in the Russian River watershed,}iricluding the <City/Special'District>, be;fully
addressed.
2. Acquisition by a public agency to preserve Russian River supply benefits. Divestiture
could also result in the PVP acquied'by a public.agency interested in protecting and
preserving the water supply benefits in the+Russian,River: :This is a very real possibility
given the magnitude of these benefits. The•EIR should,address this;possibility. To properly
assess the potential impacts,of public,agency acquisiti'on, detailed studies of hydrology, water
quality and related economicsneed toTbe conducted and included•in the EIR.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment;on`the;scope and:content of the forthcoming EI.
Please kindly keep the<City/Special District>posted on upcoming hearings and opportunities to
participate in this matter.

Subject: ,Request relating to;Potter;Valley„Project
Dear Mr. Poole:
Thepurpose of this'letter is td request,pursuant:to Section,2.4iof the Tenth Amended Agreementtfor
Water Supply'and Construction'of the'Russian River-Cotati WaterProject(Tenth Amended
Agreement),.that Fthe Sonoma County Water Agency(Agency)`take necessary steps tosensure that?the
Agency and its Water Contractors (Cities=of Cotati, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa and Sonoma and
■Special,Districtsof Forestville Water District,North Mann Water District and Valley of Moon Water
District)are.in a;position:torconsidera possible acquisition.of PG&E's'Potter Valley Project (PVP),,.
As youknow,under the Tenth-Amended-Agreement;the;PyP may be acquired,with approval,of�tl e
Water AdvisoryConunittee,..upon a,determination by;:the°Agencys Board of Directors that the:
,acquisition is necessarytoiinsure the;Agency''s continued,ability to_make the water delivenes'authorized'
bysaid Agreement. 'While.it is premature for<Ciry/District>, to consider whether it would cast;its vote
for ac, uisitionof the PVP the pending Califomia<PublicUtilities Commission'(CPUC)'proceedings,,
discussed make it imperative that, at aYminimum, we.arei a;position to'make an,informed and
legally sufficient decision onthematter.
PG&E has filed an application with the CPUC seelang:approval;to.auction its hydroelectric.generating
facilities, including the'PVP;,to.,the highest bidder„and PG&E has-.requested-such an auction proceed”
quickly_ We'agree with testimonyfiled bythe Agency with sthe CPUC.detailing the vital,role the PVP
plays inTproviding a wide array of water`supply'benefits in,theiRussian River area and in'the%water
service areas of the Cities.and Districts relying,on the Russian River for water supply: We:strongly agree
thathhe,PVP is not an,appropriate candidatemfor decommissioning. We agree:further that the EIR
prepared by the CPUC;must adequately:evaluate;the environmental effects,,of acquisition`of the PUP+by
public itussian River water interests:, Weelieve;that it is;not in the public interest for PG&E to;be
allowed to sellthe PVP at this time; however;`because wed`o not know how,the,CPUC will respond to
PG&E's application, it is appropriate for the Agencyand the Water Advisory Committee to,evaluate
potential acquisition of the yV12, either through a CPUC-authonzed sale or through aneminentdomain
action. While'we preferred to accomplish anypublic acquisition ofthePVP:through a:public partnership
madeup of Sonoma and Mendocino;County interests (such",as the Valley Authority suggestea,by
the Agency in1994), we:acknowledge;the,Agency'sattempts to enlist=support of such a program_have
been unsuccessful. Ast.a,result the;Agency, acting on behalf of the Water.Contractors, mustitake stepsio"' Ask-
keep open the option of acting unilaterally if such action is:in thebest interests of the Water Contractors
and the.customers=we serve as events unfold•before.the CPUC.
•
. We understand the Agencyis participating in:coping meetings regarding the content of the CPUC's ER.
It is our hope and expectation that the)EIR•will'be adequate for,purposes,ofevaluating the-environmental
effects of a potential.acquisition of the`PVP by the•Agency, Nonetheless, because it is possible that the
EIR'will not be:adequate,werecom rend that the Agency immediately take steps to be prepared to
supplement the CPUC ER or prepare its own FIR if the CPUC's ER appears to be inadequate.
Finally, we request that the Agency,.at:the earliest possible date, submit;detailed information to the
Water Contractors so that we may'(1) determine whether or not acquisition of the PVP is necessary to"
ensure that tile'Agency'can"continue to make-deliveries of water as required under the Tenth Amended
Agreement and.(2) assess the risks; benefits,and costs associated with the.acquisition of the PVP.
Very Truly'Yours,

Lake Pillsbury has a watershed of approximately 268 square
'miles and the Lake Mendocino watershed is only-approximately- 105
square miles The winter! storage capacity of Lake Pillsbury is
,
approximately 56 , 000 acre-feet and the winter, storage capacity of
Lake Mendocino- is approximately 69 , 000 acre -feet: Because the
watershed of Lake Pillsbury is so much greater than that of Lake
' Mendocino, and because Lake Pillsbury Winter storage capacity is
smaller than that of Lake Mendocino, it would seem intuitive that
Lake Pillsbury would always fill before Lake Mendocino If that
were true, the interest& df makimizing power ,,prOduction at the
Potter Valley powerhouse and conserving the Russian River water
supply would coincide, since any water diScretionarily released
from Lake Pillsbury Storage would be stbred- in Lake Mendocino .
_ However, an examination pf recent ,hydrclogic model study
results performed: by the Sbnbma County lqatei. Agenty- (SCWA),
indicate that Lake Pillsbury filled its winter storage capacity
before Lake Mendocnpin only 15 out of 67 years, In 40 years
Lake Mendocino filled first, and 9 years the two reservoirs
filled at about theSene tiMe. This is attribUtable to the feat
that a signficant amount, of the precipitation occurring in the
Lake Pillsbury watershed during the winter accumulates as
• snowpack, and to the subStantial interbaSin transfer of water
which occurs during the winter.. In three years neither reservoir
filled to its winter storage capacity.. This suggests thet' a
water supply benefit' might result from limiting -releases from
Lake Pillsbury during the fall, and winter to those required to
maintain a powerhouse flow equal to the required release from ,
Lake Mendocino dUring periodewhen Lake, MendOcano ie full. This
mode of operation would ensure that all water which could be
stored, would be stored.
Lake Pillsbury is 'equipped with Tainter gates which must
remain open during the winter for safety reasons, but are closed
in the spring. Lake Mendocino water supply storage is allowed' to
encroach into the flood control storage spice in the spring after
the flood risk has passed, As ,a result, in the spring the
storage capacity of Lake Pillsbury and Lake Mendocino, increase to
approximately 76 , 000 acre-feet and 90, 000' acre-feet,
respectively. SCwAJs 'hydrologic' Model, studies indicate that •in a
number of years Lake Mendocino fills to its summer storage
capacity and Lake Pillsbury does not, s,cr: , 109 . - Again, this
suggests that a water 'supply benefit might result from limiting
releases frat Lake PillabUn during the spring to those required
to maintain a powerhouse flow equal to the required release from

SECTION 1.7 RECITALS
• (a) TheSonoma CountyWater Agency (Agency)was created by California state legislation
(Statutes of 1949, Chapter 994,as amended). Underthis legislation, the Agency operates and
maintains a water transmission system authorized:by the.Agreement for Water Supply and •
Construction of Russian River-Cotah Intertie Project between and among;the Agency and eight
-
public entities! Cotati,Petaluma, Rohnert Park,Santa Rosa, Sonoma, FWD,NMWD, VOMWD,
.dated October 25, 1974 and lasttamended'November•14,71997(Tenth Amended Agreement), by
means of which water is'.fuinished to theiparties"therreto. The:Agency"furnishes water to Windsor
pursuant to the application for water service approved on April,1, 1987. Windsor is one of the
Agency's "other Agency customers ' as,thatterm is defined in the Tenth Amended Agreement. .
The Agency furnishes water to MMWD-pursuant to the Supplemental Water Supply Agreement
dated January 25, 1996.
•
(b) The Agencyhas proposedya•WaterSupply and Transmission System Project (WSTSP)
for which an environmental impact.report was•certified by the•Agency's'Board of Directors on
November 17, 1998. The WSTSP was by.'the Agency's Board.of Directors;on
• December 15, 1998. The objective of'the'WSTSP is to provide a safe, economical, and-reliable
water supply to meet the defined future:needs of the;Agency s service:area. When fully
constructed'and operational, the,WSTSP will:increase the amount of water that can be diverted -
. from the RL:ssian River (a combination of re-diversion of stored:water:'and direct"diversion of
available flows) to approximately 101.000sacre feet per year,and increase the Agency's water

(c) Part 2 of the;Tenth Amended Agreement authorizes the Agencytorconstruct:or acquire
additions and replacements'itothe existing,Transmission System sufficient to meetthe delivery
entitlements set fortfriin Section3.1 and 3,2 of said agreement which amount"to an average'day
during the maximum.month deliveitcapacity of 92 mgd. However,due to delays in,
implementation, such as litigation and`regulatory constraints,-all of the facilittiessautho
m rized;by '• .. •
the;Tenth Amended,Agreement.have not been constructed. Limitations exist in.the existing
Transmission:System which may preclude reliable delivery of some of the delivery,entitlements
enumerated•inSectiofis.3:1 and'3.2 of the:Tenth.Amended`Agreement.
(d) Qn December;7, 1999 the Board of Directors of the Agency'adopted a:Resolution No 99-
1564 declaring that the reliable summertime water production capacityof the Transmission
System is cu rentlytempora ily'impaired by being limited to an average monthly,capacity ofi84
mgd: One of the-projects•authorized by thetTenth Amended Agreement is Collector No:.6 a
portion of the 20 mgd•of collectoncapacitydefined in Section 1 (r) of"said agreement. This,
collector has been designed and environmental documents for'it have been'prepared and,
approved,pursuant-to'the CalifOrnia•Environmental,Quality,Act. Otherfegulatory permits are•in
the process,oflieina acquired arc the project is expected to be placed inservice by the summer
of 2003,, This project:'and itsrconnecting`pipeline are expected to"achieveithe mgd of delivery
capacityiofthe Transmission System:authorized in,the Tenth Amended,Agreement.
•
•
• (e). The highest;peak demand recorded by theiAgency during the summer months of 1999 . '
was 814mgd: Although;.year-to-year'increases;in peak demand arekhighly variable°due to;.ttie •
variability of summer weather, the average annual increase in;peak demand historically has been
approximately2.mgd. Due to•the temporary'impairment ofth'e Transmission System capacity,
the water production capacity of the Transmission'System;may be exceeded during summer
months ifpeak;demand continues to increase alit hasYhitorically.
(t): Section`3.5 of the Tenth Amended Agreement provides in part that in'the event of a
temporary impairment of the capacity:of the Transmission System the Agency shall:;
"first,.deliver to eachsof its regular:customers the quantity of water,"not imexcess of the
respective delivery entitlements set forth in;sections 3.1 and(12, required., it for human
consumption, sanitation and fire protection as,determined bythe Agency,after taking into
consideration all other.sources of-potable water then available to sdid customer;

sixth, to the:extent additional Transmission System capacity is available, deliver surplus •
water to'other Agency,cutorners.!'
(g) The Agency has entered into service;agreementsfor the delivery of surplus water
pursuant to Section 34of the Tenth Amended'Agreement via separate•metered turnouts:from the
Transmission System. The Agency desires,to transfer responsibility to provide these water
'services to the other parties to this Memorandum of Understanding;(MOU). • .
(h) In order to mitigate against<drought, earthquakes, spills, temporary impairments:and other
events impacting the;quanttty or,quality Of•water'available from the Transmission System, and
other emergencies thatcan'befall'an urban water supply system it'is highly desirable to achieve
and maintain standbysl`ocal peak month production capacity as:"defined herein ofiapproximately
forty percent (40%) of peak demand. Thes;experience of water,utilities in coping with severe
droughts and water shortages caused•by spills of toxic'materials;°water quality contamination;
earthquakes; slides and:other unpredictable•events has demonstrated that this is a desirable
standard.
(i) The implementation of the WSTSP;requires an amendment=to the Tenth Amended _
Agreement An Eleventh Amended Agreement for Water,Supply'(Eleventh Amended
Agreement) to accomplish this purpose has been approved by most of the parties to the Tenth
Amended Agreement and is note yet effective as Of effectivedate of this MOU.
(j) Pursuant to the provisions.of Section 2.5 of the Terith Amended Agreement, the Agency
plans to appropriate;and_•distribute funds to'the water contractors; Windsor and MMWD for
implementing•water•conseryation measures, developing recycled water projects that offset
potable water use,•and•developing standby local peak month production capacity,'that reduces
demand on the Transmission.System. As of the date of this MOU, the.Water Advisory
Committee has $IS million for implementing conservation measures over a 10 year
period commencing with FiscalYear'(FY) 1'997-93. The Agency hasrprepared'a report dated
November 1999 entitled "Preliminary Assessment of Urban'Water Reuse, Sonoma County Water

Agency:Service Area;,Sonoma.County and Marin County, California',' thatidentifies $42 million
in potential;recycled water Feasibility and environmental•studies need to be done-for •
these projects. On February'14,;2000, the Water'Advisory Committee:approved $1.3 million for
inclusion in.the Agency's FY 2000 -.01, budget-for recycled water projects. A recycled water •
project for FWD estimated to^cost $460000,is"expected to be one of the projects`funded from the
FY 2000-01 budget allocation.

4 Definitions that apply:
Same as Tenth Amended Agreement; plus following,
. 1. "standby local peak month production capacity” means;the potable water capacity in mad
that the parties to the agreement, other than the Agency, can be,reliably produce
• throughoutthe summer'month's',fromheir own facilities; and,
2. "peak demand'? means average day demand in mgd during the.maximum use summer •
month; and, . . .
3. "reasonable requirement" for each of the years covered by the'MOV means the historic
peak demand +'2%/yrcompounded.
5 Average;Monthly Delivery Rates that Parties agree to do their best to adhere:to:
See Table 1. (Note: Table 1 limits only apply if Transmission Systenidelivery capacity is
greater thamS4 mgd. If it falls below.84 mgd, the shortage provisions of Section 3.5 of the
Tenth Amended Agreement apply.) .
6 Can Parties exceed the Table 1 delivery ratesfwithout penalty?
Yes, but only up to the their entitlement limitas set forth inane Tenth Amended Agreement.
7 Can Table l delivery rates be changed?
Yes, by,a "must meettwo,test vote of the Parties. The first testis a.majority of weighted
votes (each Party has a weighted":vote in proportion to their Tenth Amended Agreement
entitlement or, in the case of MM WD and Windsor;their assigned voting power). The
second"test is that seven of,the eleven parties approve.

8 What's expected of th'e,Agency to'resolve the.temporary impairment? •,
Use,best efforts to build three badly neededimprovements as soon,as,possible:
1. Build Collector No 6. This will boost delivery capacity at the head works of the
Transmission Systemic) 92 rngd.
'2. Build north segment of the'parallel'Petaluma Aqueduct (segment-from Cotati Tanks to
•
Ely Booster);, This will alleviate shortages downstream of Ely Booster:,
3. Build a segment of parallel Sonoma Aqueduct(segment from Eldridge-Tanks to Madrone
Road):, This will alleviate shortagesdownstream of Eldridge:Tanks.
Funding Mechanism: As set forth in,the Tenth and,pending Eleventh Amended Agreements.
9 What's,erpected of the Other Parties to survive/resolve the temporary impairment?
Implementation of a concurrent three pronged effort:
1. Expanded Conservation Efforts. Each Party is required to implement cost-effective'Best
• ManagementPractices as defined by the California Urban Water,Conservation Council
(see Attachment.A for recap of 14 BMPs), including analysis and'presentation of a
conservation rate,structure to its Board/Council That targets peak month use.
2. Recycled Water Projects. Each:Party;is required to-evaluate and present;cost-effective'
recycled-water projects that offset potable water use to its Board/Council.
3. Local Standby Supply: Each,Party commits,to use best effoits•to•expand standby local

on the Transmission System) by going to 24 hour operation of Stafford
Treatment Plant,
Rohnert.Park: Install meters;oo all unmetered•accounts. •
Sonoma and VOMWD:
Undertake demonstration project using wireless'technology to automatically
control residential irrigation valves using CIMIS evapotranspiration data.
• Cotati, Petaluma. Rohnert•Park. Santa Rosa;,Sonomaa NMWD; VOMWD and Windsor:

(707) 778-4304 .Fazi(707) 718-4437 E-mail: dwr®ci.petaluma:ca.us
DATE: June 29, 2000
TO: Torn Hargis, Director;of Water.Resources,and Conservation
FROM , Steve Simmons; UtilityManager/12la---/,
SUBJECT: Resolution Setting;Water Rates and Charges
Chapter 15.16 of the Petaluma ;Municipal Code ,allows.setting of water rates .and charges by
resolution. The last such resolution was 94-317 N;C,S. (copy attached). This resolution set our
water rate at 51.08 per 748 gallons effective January of '1995. At that time, our cost for
4purchased water from the Sonoma County Water Agency Was 3278.22' per acre-foot (325,850
. gallons). This fiscal year our cost is 5331.61 that is about a 20% increase. During this same
period, the Consumer Price;Index has increased about 19%,and the Engineering News Record
for construction in the San Francisco area'has;increased about.10%. Without a rate increase, the
. FY 00-01 budget would result in about 5900,000 more in expenditures than revenues. This
number includes 52.10,000 of increased costs from the water utilities share of the five new
positions approved for the new `Department.of Water'R'esources and Conservation. There are
two components to the water rate; a flat fixed charge and a commodity;:charge. The flat rate pays
for non-variable costs such as routine maintenance, billing, meter reading, etc. The commodity
charge pays for increased variable costs for-power, water purchases, wearr and tear, etc. caused
by moving more water'througlflthe'system.
To balance revenues with expenditures will involve increasing the average annual cost to our
customers. I have attached a 1999 Urban Area Total Annual Water Cost Comparison prepared
by North.Mann Water District For Petaluma currently the typical detached single family'home
is paying 'about 5217 per year It is recommended this cost;increase;to about $258 per year by
, • increasing the,water commodity rate from 51.08 per 748 gallons to 31 25:,per 748 gallons (15%
increase) and also by increasing the fixed rate from S.i per month to 54 per month (2a%
increase). The overall weighted increase would be about 18%. The reason for the larger flat rate •
increase is because the last flat'rate increase was April of 1991_ It will also provide a more stable
revenue stream. The flat rates for the larger meters would also increase proportionally, Aside
from increased annual costs severallnew factors have added to,the needtfor a water rate increase.
These factors include*increased_spending;on water conservation, funding a significant portion of
the General', Plan including a [storm water component, funding half of the City's new GIS
Program and funding a;water rate;study. -

Altematives that-would reduce'the proposed rate increase could include-drawing down the water
utilities projected FY 00-01 ending;.working capital balance; of 32,738,150 or elimination of

John Olaf Nelson, Water Resources Mariagemeht, leda review and discussion of the
• Draft 49 MOU, a two-page Fact Sheet of the draft'MOU and a document entitled @Recap
of CUWCC Best Management Practices:@ Mr. Nelson;noted that:attorneys for the
Sonoma County Water Agencyand.the City?of Santa Rosahave proposed minor changes
•that do not change the?contentof the MOU but will require a:tenth,draft.
Mr. Nelson stated that the,major area of change in the ninth draft is in Section 7 regarding
Rohnert Park. Language,has-been changed to extend the implementation schedule for
Items b and c of BMP 5 to five years. rather than 2-1/2;years, and specify that water meter
installations start at 2=172'years. 'Joe;Gaffney, City otRohnert Park: discussed the Cit •=s
plan for meter implementation. Mr. Gaffney noted three areas that affect the timing of •
the?plan:
•. Financing for the.S3 1/2 million program;
. Studying the most,effective way of program implementation;
A backlog inmeterorders which may cause a one-year delay. •
•
•
Mr;;Gaffney yard the City ofRohnert Park issconfident;that°implementation will start
before:the 2-172,year timeline. Rohnert;Rark prefers to make the transition'to metered
billing atone time, rather than inatages. The City of Rohnert Park:currently bills at a flat
rate.of$15t0b er•'month.
Mr. Gaffney:stated that;Rohnert Park has approximately 7,500 accounts"without•-meters.
Seven thousand of these accounts have a meter box and straight piece of pipe that would
allow for quick•installation of meters, possibly tn;one:year=s-time. The remaining'500
accounts would'requireilocation ofnthelateral and installation;of a.meterand box that
wouldbe more time-consuming:and 'difficult. The City of Rohnert Parkplans to contract
for all meterinstallations„rather than"contract in phases.
Mr Gaffney notedithat additional.personnel will be required in the Utilities and Public
Works departments to read and maintain the<new water meters and maintain,the new
- billing system:
Randy.Poole, Sonoma°County Water Agency, requested additional language fot an
intermediate,step between implementation and installation that would spectfy'a itirrieline
for orderingtmeters: `Mr: Poole.also requested a requirement torhave atime=line for

P �
Mr. Nelsomsuggested implementation ofaytiered, fiatfrate system during the surnrner
months to signal that metering is coming, reduce?summertime demand;and:create •
additional•fundsLfor the meter implementation. Mr. Gaffney said:that,a-tiered.billing
system.wouldtbe<diffrcult to implement untilthe City of Rohnert;Park;can show'an
advantage.toc.reduction,through metering comparisons. Joe Netter, City of Rohnert Park,
.stated that,aaentire tiered rate plan program will need to be developed'ontmeteredreads.
There:was a`consensusi'fr'om the Water:Contr"actors to:accept.the MOU,with4he language
changes noted above.
Steve Simmons;-Crty,of Petaluma„asked whether thenchang es to Section'7(required'
changes-to the liquidated:damages portion of;Section:4,of the MOU Mr. Nelson stated
that the Water:Advisory Committee;-could listen to the-City of Rohnert=Park .s,case'if
problems arise that delaythe meter implementation -Mr.,Netterasked for
clarification of the triggering points'for liquidated damages. Mr; Nelson::replied that'ithree
trigger points would include:
Develop meter,implementation-plan within six months;
Start meter installation within 2-1/2 years;
Complete 20%.of teeter installations each,year., _
•
Ifanyof these'timelines are missed,the:WalerAdvisory Committee may initiate review •
and>recommendatsurcharge. Mr.;Netterrequested a.,realistic timetframe that will help.
the plan succeed. Mr. Nelson state&that changes couldbe made_to the MOU if•a;request
•
is brought to the Water Contractors andthey determinet ere ts(a:good and valid reason to
change:
Mr. DeGabriele requestea the language irtSectiobr6 (a) of the:MOO be modified to
require implementation of practices'equal•Ao!or better-Ahab the BMP;--,s. Mr. DeGabriele
also requested that the MOUterrninate on September 30, 2005 and the ability to extend
the term of the MOU beleliminated,
Mr. Nelson noted that,theNOU,requires the Water Contractors to join the CUWCC and
implement the 131yIPF--s. He stated that this requiremerittrgties beyond the I 1t Amended
Agreetherryand will beincluded in the it Amended AgfeeMent.
Toni,Bertolero,-City of Cotati, discusseclplans for thetCitYas overall water conservation
ordinance. The City of eotatiwants to include water-waster prohibitions (Stage 1),
educational programs regarding conservation,Stage(721-and:3',cithServation measures and
have a tie-in with the Urban Water Management-Plan.
Art Both, VOMWTY;Ireferredto-,•$ection 9 of the draft1MOU and asked who is responsible
. for termination of service to surplus cuStomers. Mt. Poole said the Agency notifies the
Water Contractors when it is necessary to turn off the surplus customers, usually 3 to 4.
times,during the summer months for a few days.atatithe. The turn off is usually system-
wide rather than isolated to one line: Mr, PoOlestated that stithltiS.cuStomers are at risk
and do not have:a:guaranteed supply of water.-tPam :Jeane;,SCWA;:addedthat the Water -
Contractors need to be sure the surplus customers have a•clear understanding of this risk

Pam Jeane; SCWA, distributed copies of a schedule,for presentation of the MOU to the
boards and councils.
John Nelson, Water Resources Management, discussed the final draffMOU. He stated
the Table 1 figures have remained the same since the fifth draft of the document. Mr.
Nelson said the changesrequested by the City of Cotati have been dealt with and all,other
attorneys are ready to recommend the MOU:to their respective.councilsand boards. He
added that,the final.MOU'incotporates a commitment of time and money from the Water
Contractors and the SCWA for•development of local supply; water conservation efforts .
and recycled water projects..

•
Mr. Nelson explained that a requirement for signatory to the MOU is to sign•on to the
BMP'`s. He stated,that the cost-effectiveness,of implementation of a,specific BMP is a
legitimate reason to be excused from it. Toni Bertolero, City of Cotati, asked about
consequences if the City doesn't want to implement a specific BMP for•reasons other
than cost-effectiveness. Mr. Nelson responded that the Council,can°opt out without
recourse"because:,the CUWCC contract has a clause•(section 7.7) that states it '`isnot a
contract." He"noted that there might be private pressure from other Water Contractors
and thatby lignin;the MOU,the City of Cotati'is,committed to.:signing onto.theBMP's. •

asked the Water Advisory Committee to take action on them. Mn DeGabr'iele.nioved to
accept the recommendations, the'motionrwas seconded by.George Roberts,Forestville

She Todd'Road, Occidental Road and Sebastopol Road wells. She said the wells are not
in official production, but remain in a standby status. ,Ms. Simm;said there"is:ongoing
monitoring for iron and manganese'and the Department of Health Services(DHS) may
require treatment based on.the results. She explained that the Occidental Road well will
be tested for two more weeks and a-report'will be sent to DHS. There has been no sign of
-iron-or manganese since the Occidental Road well has been run..
Ms. Bertolero asked whether the testing data could;be available"by,.April l next year,
•since;the late date this year made itdifficult for the Water Contractors:to incorporate the
data in their reports. Ms Simm replied that there was some confusion.between the DHS
in Sonoma and.Marin counties regarding the processfor turbidity, which causedthe
delayed data thisyear;ahere should not be a problem meeting the April 1S` date nextyear.
Mr. DeGabriele asked about potential problems.with:arsenic;at the Todd.Road well. Ms:
Simm responded that current data is based'on pumping the well for 20 minutes. She
:added that when the well is broughtato.full production;there should not be a problem.,
Mr. Nelson referred to the Consumer Confidence Report prepared by the City of Seattle
and available on the city's web site:, He said the report presents the information in a
format that is easy to understand. Mr. DeGabriel'e,said the legal•,language required in the
report is very difficult to understand and he asked'David Clark, Department of Health .
• Services, to pass this concern on to officials in Sacramento. Mr Ferris noted'that the
reporrneeds to be readable by the average customer so they are not overwhelmed:by the
• numbers. The Department of Health Services°officials•atthe'meeting said they will
