BACKGROUND INFORMATION: State of California Proposition 84 provides up to $130 million for matching grants to implement Delta water quality improvement projects that protect drinking water supplies. The subject grant request will provide funding for feasibility analysis, design and construction of a 90 -acre storage pond/groundwater recharge basin. The project budget is estimate $5.6 million including a City funding match of $1.9 million. The grant funding request was prepared in partnership by City staff and Petralogix Engineering, a local geophysical and geological consulting firm. The request was submitted on April 9, 2015 and a copy is provided in Attachment A. Included in the request was a statement of intent to have the City Council approve the grant funding request. The project would function as a groundwater recharge facility by storing Title 22 treated water in an unlined 90 -acre storage basin. Multiple benefits are provided by the project including: 1. Create a salinity intrusion barrier 2. Improve groundwater quality 3. Provide plant operational storage and diminish discharges to the Delta 4. Establish option to provide Title 22 water for irrigation in the region instead of pumping groundwater Staff recommends approval of the grant funding request. If Council does not approve the request, the application can be withdrawn. If the City grant funding request is approved by the Department of Water Resources the funds will be available next fiscal year. At that time and following a consultant selection process, Council will be asked to approve the feasibility analysis and design agreement(s) and appropriate funds. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.

Based on findings Funding Source(s):State grants, City from the MokeWISE Water Availability Analysis, the of Lodi Utility Rates, Regional City currently treats 7,095 AFY of wastewater. Of this, 1,842 AFY is used as recycled water. Assuming Groundwater Extraction Fee the 3,700 AFY agricultural reuse project is Concept location: San Joaquin County, implemented, the City of Lodi could currently treat d west of Davis Road, south of SR 12 and and reuse roughly 1,700 AFY of wastewater. This north of Eight Mile Road number will grow to 3,050 AFY in the future, accounting for population growth. The concept includes developing a feasibility study to identify nearby areas potentially feasible for recharge and document potential downstream impacts of diverting wastewater. Uses including consumptive use and seawater intrusion barriers will be considered. After the feasibility study is published, study recommendations will be implemented. Assessment Objective 7-�O Justification *Fullyaddressed IFartially addressed ONot addressed WS -1: Promote The concept does not have elements that demand-sidepromote demand-side management management strategies 1 strategies. Page 1 of 8 Objective WS -2: Increase supply WS -3: Increase amount of stored water WS -4: Promote smart, responsible development WS -5: Reduce reliance on groundwater for irrigation WS -6: Promote a long- term groundwater balance WS -7: Maximize water resource availability for all beneficial uses *Do 11 Justification The concept would increase supply reliability by reusing treated wastewater, which would likely offset Mokelumne River water and groundwater that is currently used by the City of Lodi. As a supply, recycled water is more reliable than Mokelumne River water and groundwater. Because of this, the City of Lodi and its customers could become more resilient against changes in the Mokelumne River system and changes in groundwater levels. The purpose of the concept is to use treated • recycled water to recharge the I groundwater basin, which would increase the amount of stored water. While the concept does not prohibit or Q preclude smart, responsible development, it does not directly promote it. The concept would not reduce reliance on groundwater for irrigation, as the purpose Q of the concept is to recharge the groundwater basin and does not offset groundwater use for irrigation. j The purpose of the concept is to recharge • the groundwater basin, which would help promote a lonq-term groundwater balance, u The concept would maximize water resource availability for all beneficial uses by reusing treated wastewater for either consumptive uses or as a seawater intrusion barrier (use as a seawater intrusion barrier would help protect current supplies).

As such, the concept would not decrease the need to import water. The concept does not include reviewing and understanding existing agency demand estimates. The concept does not include identifying water demand issues for consideration in the upcoming UWMP update. The concept would protect and improve groundwater quality by increasing the amount of stored water, which would help dilute pollutants in the groundwater. If the recycled water is used as a seawater intrusion barrier, it would protect groundwater quality. While the concept involves treating water, it does not involve increasing the level of treatment for use in groundwater recharge. Additionally, the concept does not involve delivering treated water, aside from continuing to pump groundwater. The concept would treat wastewater to be • used for recharge, which maximizes beneficial use of the wastewater. The concept does not include elements that Q would increase access to the Mokelumne River from Highway 12 to the headwaters. Page 3 of 8 Objective R-15: Increase angling and other recreational opportunities (increase Spawning habitat, etc.) R-16: Increase angling and other recreational opportunities (stock hatchery -raised fish) R-17: Increase angling and other recreational opportunities (reintroduce salmon in upper Moke) R-18: Increase angling and other recreational opportunities (increase WR -19: Resolve existing water rights conflicts in the watershed F-20: Enhance flood protection and management D-21: Use sound, agreed-upon data to evaluate program alternatives (hydrology dataset) 4000 justification The concept would not contribute to increasing spawning habitat, designating Q sections of the river for hatchery and wild species, or designating environmental flows. The concept does not involve stocking hatchery -raised trout in designated areas on the upper Mokelumne, nor does it involve designating and managing wild trout sections. The concept does not include reintroducing salmon into the upper Mokelumne. While the concept would decrease the likelihood of fish entrainment by removing Q an unscreened diversion, the extent to which this would increase angling opportunities is likely negligible. The concept is not focused on resolving Q existing water rights protests to achieve a common understanding of the application of relevant water rights law in the watershed. C 1 The concept does not include elements that would enhance flood protection and/or flood management, nor would the concept enhance ecosystem function in a way that would provide flood protection. The concept does not involve producing an agreed-upon hydrology dataset and Water Availability Analysis.

The concept would contribute data to the current body of knowledge by collecting and reporting program information, including information on groundwater recharge and recoveryand water quality. The concept does not include elements that would promote forest management, nor would it help reduce the economic impact of wildfires and other natural disasters. i The concept would be located in the San { Joaquin Valley and would serve the City of Lodi. Portions of the City and a number of areas within the Valley are DACs and would benefit from this concept. The benefits realized from implementing the concept would not be limited to a narrow group; rather, project benefits would be spread across regions, cultures, incomes, and time. The concept does not incorporate elements that would protect and enhance the natural environment. The concept does not incorporate or seek a wild and scenic designation.

The concept maintains and provides a more ` reliable water supply for agricultural uses • by using recycled water instead of Mokelumne River water and groundwater. The concept would help foster regional relationships by requiring long-term • coordination between the City and other entities participating in groundwater recharge within the Valley. The concept would protect supplies for agricultural users and contribute to groundwater recharge. These outcomes • are supported by a wide range of interests within the watershed, including farmers, water agencies, and non-governmental organizations. The concept has passed the preliminary four screening criteria, including the • j beneficial and compatible screens. U The concept would serve recycled water for irrigation and groundwater recharge; its implementation would not directly address any current watershed conflicts.

Agricultural,_ and Groundwater Supply Improvement Project Proposal Objective: The objective of this proposal is to receive sufficient grant funding to provide a Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) Expansion Pond that will allow for a long-term decrease in surface water discharge to the Delta. Instead, this tertiary treated effluent will be used to irrigate crops, reduce salinity intrusion potential, improve down gradient water quality, and increase long-term groundwater storage. This 90 acre expansion pond would be unlined, and incorporates infiltration through trenches and spreading basin dynamics. The waters held within would be tertiary treated, and could aid in staving off intrusive saline waters during lowered groundwater levels from onset drought events. The position of the WPCF and the pond is right on the saline /brackish%freshwater mixing horizon, and therefore, this is an ideal location for saline barrier attempts. Sufficient study_.2 has been provided to illustrate the need and design basis for a storage expansion area to the existing WPCF facility (See Attached Plates 1 and 2). The intended expansion area is being considered for use as a preliminary holding area, not a treatment or evaporation pond. The additional area (approximately 90 acres in size) would allow for treated waters to be stored and used for surface water irrigation and groundwater recharge. This would decrease the discharge into the Delta waters, proving to provide an immediate biological benefit. A secondary benefit would include a reduction of pumped groundwater to irrigate the agricultural areas surrounding the facility. The required pipeline and pump infrastructure to distribute the water from the pond holding area (as scoped in the expansion study) is comparable to costs that would be incurred from development of an open channel distribution system that could act as a means for agricultural water conveyance, additional surface water storage when needed, and groundwater recharge. Already conducted studies suggest that in order for the facility to be able to handle long-term projected flows that either more acreage needs to be acquired and irrigated by these waters, or expanded storage area is needed. Regardless, as the facility moves from 5.5 million gallons a day (MGD) up to a projected potential of 8.5 MGD, more holding areas will need to be constructed. By combining the need to increase storage and facility capacity with the need to reduce surface water discharge and groundwater pumping, a project such as proposed here could have a multitude of benefits that are both local and regional in nature. 1 West Yost Associates, 2014, Technical Memorandum, Land Application Area Expansion Study for the City of Lodi White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. 2 West Yost Associates, 2015, Draft -City of Lodi, White Slough, Water Pollution Control Facility, Best Practice Treatment Control (BPTC) Evaluation Report). Pt e 12 Ak r, City of Lodi Wf Proposal Package - DWR Prom 84 The exact design of the conveyance system and internal recharge galleries are a secondary portion of this project that could be performed in conjunction with the actual expansion pond construction (which is nearly ready for construction). Final pond designs are pending and being considered, with CEQA and NEPA compliance being covered under the overall general master expansion plan for the City, and being streamlined due to Executive Order- B-29-154.

In effect, the additional construction costs could be shifted from the projected property acquisition needs that are discussed in the associated plant expansion study mentioned earlier. Some a1' the,benets associated with theosed Um1ect include an increase in quality and quantity for commercial and agricultural grade water supply, as well as salinity reductions. The simple fact that less water will be pumped will assist in the decreased potential for saline intrusions to occur in the area. Secondarily, fresh water discharges to the fields (as well as deeper soil zones and aquifers) will continue to potentially improve saline barriers. Organic Loading studies5 have been conducted which help to demonstrate that the water quality of the treated waste streams is effectively lower than delta water levels in salt content. This use of treated "fresh" water as an application to land and groundwater, rather than as a surface water distribution to brackish delta waters, is likely more effective at keeping a barrier present which promotes saline -sweet water separation (instead of mixing). The water quantity and quality around the area is well studied and this adds to the favorability of this site as a potential grant recipient. Long-term studies of the area including groundwater and surface water makes this site a great building block to test the impacts of in -lieu storage by not discharging to the delta surface waters, and by also using these waters to inject (long-term) into degraded aquifers. The areas to the south and east of the site are in a state of overdraft and both depth to groundwater and electrical conductivity are negatively impacted in that direction. Groundwater depths quickly increase (likely due to over pumping of the area), with EC increasing as well indicating saline intrusion potential (likely due to over pumping as well). 3 RMC, 2008, Regional Water Recycled Water Master Plan, Agricultural Reuse Project. 4 2015, Executive Department, State of California, Executive Order B-29-15 5 West Yost Associates, 2009, White Slough WPCF, Organic Loading Study Technical Report. 6 West Yost Associates, 2014, City of Lodi White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, 2014 Annual Ground F! , 13 City of Lodi Proposal Package - DWR Prop 84 Proposal for the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Storage Expansion and Surface, Agricultural, and Groundwater Supply Improvement Project The need for additional storage pond area at the White Slough WPCF is well documented. Long-term there are no justifiable alternatives. Current discharge is above the stated capacity for the site as designed, anu overages are released to the Delta. There are a variety of potential options which would allow for sufficient on-site storage. However, only one single approach would accomplish a maximum benefit which allows for minimized transport assembly costs (piping), minimized land acquisition costs and impacts, minimized environmental impacts, and maximized water reuse and recharge strategies. We have identified the installation of a 90 acre storage pond (as documented and modified from the West Yost Associates Expansion Area Study), in combination with a long-term recharge and on-site storage pond and gallery system. The detailed approach of the project is described in both .schedule and costs below. Following the description of the pond and storage area; a detailed recharge feasibility study is discussed which would ultimately aid in the configuration of an appropriate water infiltration and recharge process. This would belp to act as a saline intrusion barrier, as well as a gwundwacer, recharge zs}ne,ad finally assist in providing in -lieu recharge by holding waters onsite for irrigation riractice rather than discharging to the Deltal.. System Layout - 90 Acre Storage Pond Final Design and Construction The 90 -acre pond layout has a rough dimension of 1990 feet by 1975 feet. The general location is shown on the attached Plate 3. A rough mock-up showing the cross-section of the pond is shown in Plate 4. Illustrated are optional gravel trenches for additional infiltration, if found to be effective during final pond design study. The current pond is planned to be unlined with roughly 0 foot high berms that allow for a total of 6 feet of water storage by height and 2 additional feet of freeboard. The total estimated volume is detailed below in Table 1. Table 1.

We are suggesting that some additional funds be allowed to flow forward to the second phase feasibility study as discussed below. However, the majority of the funding would go directly to construction of the 90 acre pond. In total, one preliminary design study and several master level planning studies have been made for this expansion pond project. The remaining effort to bring this project to a construction ready level is a final pond civil design and layout, limited field testing, environmental/legal processing (which will be streamlined), and general administrative and project management items. For all practical purples this is a construction ready traject. System Layout - Recharge Conveyance The additional secondary phases that could be associated with this initial project include a long-term groundwater recharge conveyance system that can essentially double as a flow channel for surface water irrigation practices, and a shallow/deep infiltration gallery for saline barrier establishment and groundwater replenishment. Plate 5 show mock-up examples that allow for a significant amount of storage and an ex -tended distribution across the site. Significant infiltration of waters could be expected. However, a larger feasibility study for the determination of impacts from such recharge and/or the exact dynamics has yet to be studied. Plate 6 is a mock-up example for anecdotal review of how freshwater recharge in the area could modify saline intrusion and benefit the neighboring water well users. As part of the proposed 90 Acre expansion design (and in conjunction with grant funding) a larger feasibility study should be performed. The addition of a system such as we have presented here for discussion purposes (but that is based on a true feasibility study) will be very beneficial to the community long-term. Below are example estimates of storage which are based off of the configuration found in the above mentioned plates. City of' Lodi Proposal Package - DVVR Prop 84 Table 3.

Monetary costs in and of t hemselves (in terms of savings; would be significant if expansion and storage can be integrated with irrigation practice, saline intrusion protection, and groundwater recharge. just in -lieu groundwater storage (by not pumping) would be an observable benefit for this facility long-term. T''he current practice of sending tertiary treated water (Title 22-Standard7) is a waste of resource (although required at this time to operate). The attached final budgets show a price that is far below alternative approaches that have been reviewed in the last dec=ade for the region and site. In all of the linked and referenced studies, all other options have been considered cost prohibitive. This option 7 2008, California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Chapter 15, Article 2., General Requirements, Classification of Water Treatment Facilities. City of Lodi Page 16 Proposal Package - DWR Prop 84 allows for a staged strategy that could create immediate storage, reduce surface water discharge, and increase groundwater benefits by helping to establish a front-line salinity encroachment barrier. Secondary stages that could come after this grant fund project would include the final installation of recharge systems and conveyances that allow for reuse in other areas to the east by means of stored water transfers. Schedule of Tasks Primary tasks include the development of a final design level civil plan set for the 90 acre expansion, of which the City of Lodi is already actively engaging. During this stage, additional recharge feasibility would be provided for later recharge gallery expansion, and to assist in developing an expansion area groundwater monitoring scheme. The City of Lodi is actively seeking feasibility study engagement, of which is part of this document (beginning on the following pages). The second stage of work would include environmental and legislative processing (streamlined) that would be performed in conjunction with the final design study. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process would be streamlined due to the fact that this is already covered through master plans previously noted, and due to recent executive directives. The third stage would be construction of the project, which would include installed monitoring mechanisms to model impacts from surface water recharge in the vicinity of the expansion. Final stages would include the development of a long-term plan and preliminary design level document for recharge gallery and conveyance systems in a manner that would be similar to what has already been suggested.

City of Lodi Pagc 19 Proposal Package - DWR_ Prop 84 Lodi Water Pollution Control Facility Groundwater Recharge Feasibility Study Raralggix Engi iggring, Inc & C,,ea_Nis Engineering an RedeveIanineat Study Concept Introduction As mentioned above, the Lod•, Water Pollution Control Facility (Lodi WPCF) faces several challenges in the relatively near future. The biggest single challenge is that the plant is expected to increase the amount of treated waste water discharged produced at the plant to increase from SS MGD to 8.5 MGD. At present, about one iiali' of the discharge is used to irrigate crops and with some recharge of shallow groundwater. The increase of the amount of waste water would have to be accommodated now, under the present operational methods, would be merely discharged into the Delta Region of the San Joaquin River. That increase and the water now discharged to surface water could be used to meet the needs for water in general area. Those demands include that needed for irrigated agriculture to the east of Lodi and west of the Lodi WPCF and for drinking water. Agricultural needs do not have access to surface water and have been met by pumping groundwater at rates greater than natural groundwater recharge. While Lodi has recently tapped into a large surface water source for drinking water, local needs for drinking water in the area around the Lodi WPCF and in Lodi proper are expected to increase. To enhance groundwater quantity, artificial recharge to groundwater is needed. This enhanced recharge could be the waste water from the water treatment facility west of town. Furthermore, the area immediately surrounding the WPCF also could experience a salinity increase. This increase in salinity most likely would be attributed to decreased surface flows and groundwater nmmnina lnrrPacina artifiria] rPrharaP in the arRa of the I.ndi VW17 rnztld hp ncPrl to rraatP a hydrologic barrier to the inflow from surficial water to the west. Recharge operations run and managed properly, and maintained over time, will provide a barrier to the inflow of saline water from the west while allowing for increased use in the immediate area of the Lodi WPCF and further to the east. Most of the water recharged to the surficial aquifer will move to the east and some will go to the west, entering the Delta. Minimizing the water lost to the west while maximizing the water sent to the east is the major goal of a properly managed recharge system. That said, the capture of all of the water expected to move to the east will not occur. But the increase in available water to the east will be noticed over a significant area. Artificial recharge, thus, should be thought of as a regional good and operational criteria should be assessed over a wider area than where specific enhanced recharge is operational and where use is observed. The Existing Project Just South of the Lodi WPCF Stockton has an ongoing artificial recharge project of special interest to this proposed work. Various good summaries of the experience which has been made public are available for public review As i'a0Clio City of Lodi Proposal Package - DWR Prop 84 part of the beginning tasks of this project, our team would meet informally/formally with the Stockton Department of Public Works and the US Geological Survey in order to gather information and practical advice, Geology, Hydrology, and Soils in the Area of Interest The Cit , of Lodi to the east, the agricultural area in between, and the Lodi WPCF to the west rest on a sequence of coalescing alluvial (by rivers) fans derived from major rivers and ephemeral streams flowing from the Sierra Nevada. These rivers and streams meander and have meandered, leaving "thread" stream deposits that reflect this history. The fan deposits, at the City of Lodi (closer to the Sierra) are mainly sands which are well sorted. These well sorted sand deposits provide higher well yields and sandier soils than to the west. They have many targets for enhanced recharge. The more distal fan deposits, at the Lodi WPCF, are dominated by flood plain fines and confining clays which merge, to the west of the treatment facility, into deltaic sediments of the San Joaquin River. These deposits yield lower amounts of groundwater and have "heavier" clay soils than to the east. They have fewer targets for enhanced recharge. Under the agricultural land in between, the deposits are intermediate in groundwater yields and in the nature of the soils. In short, the deposits in the area of interest for artificial recharge grade from sandy, high water -yielding ones in the east to more clayey, less water -yielding ones in the west. Selecting Targets for Enhanced Recharge Site selection metrics should be guided by the geology and hydrology. Traditional methods include but are not limited to interpreting soil survey maps, geologic maps, water table contour maps, and aerial photos. These methods can locate surficial and near surficial features, such as old stream channels, where releasing treated effluent to the surface can achieve effective, relatively cheap recharge. Traditional methods include interpreting existing groundwater head maps, including water table maps and maps of confined aquifers, along with well logs and water level records to find buried subsurface features, such as buried stream channels, which are also favorable for recharge, probably by injection wells. More active methods such as shallow seismic surveys, electrical resistivity measurements, and E -logs or other geophysical logs of wells are also helpful in delineating the subsurface stratigraphy. Finally, test borings and wells at locations selected on less invasive techniques above will result in complete subsurface information. The borings will supplement the likely connection and extent of layers, both clay -rich which can limit effective recharge and sand -rich which could be targets for artificial recharge. The wells will provide additional information related to quantitative aspects of the hydrology, such as conductance and storativity. Lastly, the sites for wells will be selected so that these ports to the system can be maintained to provide data essential to the physical and chemical behavior ofthe system once enhanced recharge is initiated. Types of Enhanced Recharge Surface application of waste water for crop irrigation may be done to enhance natural recharge. The careful and measured application of irrigation water may be done so that a portion of the applied e �11 City of Lodi Proposal Package - DWR Prop 84 water is expected to continue past the rooting zone of the crop and eventually recharge the groundwater. This method requires more extensive land holdings than the other methods below. In conjunction with other methods, however, it can be a cost effective means of enhanced recharge. The amount of water needed only for irrigation might be charged to the owner of the crop land to help cover expenses, Surface spreading of water through recharge basins or ponds is the most common type of groundwater recharge and is generally the most cost effective. This process needs permeable sediments in the surface and near surface sediments with the best sites found in the medial portions of alluvial fans. This method typically requires somewhat extensive land requirements. Surface spreading in basin locations where less permeable surface sediment is found, such as in more distal fan locations, as seen at the treatment facility, may be accomplished by removing/excavating overlying less permeable soil accessing more permeable sediment in near surface (10-30' below surface). Typically this process would be used on land already owned by the facility which has less permeable surface sediment but has permeable sediment in the near subsurface. Linear trenches that are filled with highly permeable materials can be used for enhanced recharge. The area of the recharge to the system is limited by the length, width' and depth, especially with respect to the water- table, of the trench. Enhanced recharge with a trench is not a cost effective method for quantity of water added. However, for controlling the precise location of a hydraulic high point/line, trenches may be the best method. Recharge wells, that is, wells recharging above a deep water table or even below the water table also minfnrm nor+nf on anhonrnr� ,-n.-ha.-r.� o ohom Tl,n nH -d ,moi— .-,1 , ..:f -hat — �.,kc the v c.... _____✓ e... _..... r..... �...•.............................. b. „�.,�..,,., .....�,... ....... :�E,a.. �. g.".v�v6iiul u.,.� w,ut.,u,. �u,�L �..ti water recharged. The land needs are restricted to an area around the well head for needed surface installations and access. Recharge wells may need surface ponds with a subsurface water collector system. See Bianchi and others, 1978 and Nightingale and others, 1981 for more examples on this. The collector system may be situated within surface recharge facilities or along canal banks (land already owned or that has an easement by the city or on adjacent irrigation district land) on medial (City of Lodi) or distal (near the WPCF) fan locations. The need for these types of systems is discussed in both of the potential hydraulic_ and geochemical restrictions that make just simple ponds mentioned above not workable. These are discussed in the next sections below, Constraints on Artificial Recharge in the General Area of Interest There are VATo major constraints on recharge with Lodi ..caste treatment effluent in the areas of interest. The first derives from the depth of water table. ['age X12 (1) City of Lodi Proposal Package - DWR Prop 84 The water table is relatively shallow in the area of the Lodi WPCF. A shallow water table obviously restricts the amount of water that may be recharged because of the reduced volume of unsaturated soil available. Even unsaturated soil contains some water (related to field capacity reported in soil surveys), further lowering the amount that may be recharged. The other restriction may derive because the water presently used to irrigate crops and presumably also to be recharged in the future is secondarily treated sewage. The Lodi WPCF presently treats other discharge water with the tertiary techniques of ultrafiltration and UV (ultraviolet) exposure, and this water most likely would not need to be subject to the further treatment described below. To meet water quality requirements, assuming an input of secondarily treated effluent, it may be necessary to pre -treat the effluent by passage through a soil zone for biologic pre-treatment and remediation of the secondary treated waste water. This may be accomplished by utilization of a collector system below the soil zone as mentioned above before being recharged. Clearly the thickness of soil above the water table would be important to the utilization of this method of pre - recharging treatment. Finally, energy costs could constrain the viability of such pretreatment if pumping would be needed to get the waste water to the treatment area, to the place of injection, or both. Hydraulic Constraints Beyond the simple depth to the top of the water table, other hydraulic constraints exist. The simplest to understand is the capabiligr of the target for enhanced recharge to accept the water delivered. The most fundamental variable to begin to quantify this restriction is the hydraulic conductance. The conductance lets us quantify the amount of water that can move away from the recharge. The second variable is the storativity of the target materials. This variable is often unappreciated, as it is related to conductance, but tells us about the ability to take in the recharge on a per unit volume basis. Two sands may have the same conductance but different storativities. Quantifying both variables before actually starting recharge is needed for prediction of the rate and the quantity of recharge that can be taken. Even after quantifying both variables to the best ability, only actual measurements of water levels can give secure knowledge of the practical rates and quantities of recharge that will be achieved. Hence, one of the values of early placement of wells, which become monitoring points in the system for water levels (hydraulic head). Another hydraulic constraint relates to the stratigraphy (layering) of the deposits selected for enhanced recharge. An example of the potential hydraulic restriction of this type would be a clay layer (low conductance) that extends below the level of the recharge. For instance, such a clay between the bottom of a pond emplaced to further treat waste water and the collection system would impair the passage of water. Similarly a clay layer below the injection and the water table restricts the flow downward and then away. Finally a clay layer not found in the mapping of the detailed stratigraphy of the zone of injection would restrict the amount of water accepted by the system. When a sufficient number of measurements of hydraulic parameters have been made and when the stratigraphy is understood to a reasonable degree, a preliminary estimate of the maximum amount of recharge possible over the area occupied by the Lodi WPCF itself will be made. This will be made AL City of Lodi P 13 Proposal Package - DWR Prop 84 by methods chosen in consultation with the Lodi Department of Public Works from an array of methodologies ranging from simple calculations to mathematical models available for such calculations. Those models would include finite difference models, such as MODFLO, finite element models which are available, and analytical element models. Water Quality Constraints A simple water quality constraint is the actual quality of the waste water, which has been already discussed. A more insidious constraint might result from the reaction of the recharged water meeting all regulatory standards with the sediments in the subsurface. Arsenic is the most probable resultant contaminant, but not the only, of these constituents which may be released. Although enhanced recharge to the south nearer Stockton has shown arsenic released from sediments, it was not to a level above the regulatory limits. Any system suggested for the area of interest should be pre -tested for the likelihood of the release of arsenic and other constituents because of enhanced recharge. A sophisticated level of understanding of the geochemistry extant in the system and likely changes caused by recharge is needed. In addition, site specific knowledge of the chemistry of the sediments which will contain the recharged waters is needed before recharge occurs. This site specific knowledge will reed to be gained from two sources, existing data and some data collected from the actual areas. In the end, no one should trust the conclusions gleaned before the actual recharge has been started. That is another reason for the wells placed for knowledge needed in site selection, which will be turned into monitoring wells for water quality. Final Recharge Gallery Design ThP final ctPn in thic rn~nirrt Will rnnciq of a rmmpilPrl d;4ta CPt whirls will hp nsod for a convevance and groundwater recharge gallery. The idea is that groundwater recharge would act as a form of storage to minimize future build out of storage ponds. The final design would be similar to our associated mock up plates. However, exactitudes cannot be established without the completion of the study. gpetralogix 2 Size of Areas - WWTP Facility IL A ii- RGRiCUtl'E 11 L'A1NC Field 1 -114:74 * •-- Field 2 - 80.99 AC Field 3. 58.59 AG Field 4 - 138-20 AC Field 5 - 219.14 AC Reid $A -D • 172.53 AC Field SE -G - 96.48 _AC 885.67 AC R:%+AL4.I�mit5iiswnnumoerea%weuywiougnAreas.awg, Leyoun, 811112U148:43:43 AM,Jpizzo ProjectName: City of Lodi -Prop 84 Grant Application Project No.: 2015-00009 Date: 04/01/15 Plate No.: Plate # 1 �. � �. _ T - r• , -�� -,�... -w-r� •� '' rif .� �, �� � _.._. :, ,�:-- 4 *Petralogix First Phase - Location of 90 Acre Exapansion Pond Project Name: City of Lodi -Prop 84 Grant Application Project No: 2015-00009 Date: 04/01/15 Plate No.: Plate # 3 OLe ,a I ogix Proposed 90 Acre Expansion Pond Paten ial Drainage Trenches (Optional) 0 A' Lined Existing -Treatment Pond Project Name: City of Lodi -Prop 84 Grant Application Project No.: 2015-00009 Date: 04/01/15 Plate No.: Plate # 4 &ae I r a I og Ix Second Phase (Long Term) - Groundwater Recharge Gallery Ah 2� Project Name: City of Lodi -Prop 84 Grant Application Project No.: 2ots-00004 Date: 04/OI/I5 Plate No.: Plate # 5 i-petralogix ui Second Phase (Long Term) - Groundwater Recharge Gallery Conveyance Ditch and Infiltration Basin Multi -Use (Includes Storage Area) Ditch Cross Section Example ::!

Project Description The White Slough WWTP facility is projected to move from 5.5 million gallons a day (MGD) up to 8.5 MGD over the next 30 to 50 years. More treated water holding areas need to be constructed to handle this increase. Sufficient study has been performed to demonstrate the need for an expansion area to the existing WWTP facility. The intended expansion area is being considered for use as a preliminary holding area and percolation pond. The expansion area (90 acres in size) would allow for treated waters to be stored and used for surface water irrigation, which would increase agricultural supply and decreasing groundwater pumping. This project would decrease current waste water discharge into the Delta, proving to provide an immediate benefit. A secondary benefit would include a reduction of pumped groundwater to irrigate the agricultural areas surrounding the facility. The expansion pond would be unlined and would allow for percolation of waters to deeper soils. This could improve long-term water quality and quantity. Existing long-term studies of the area (including groundwater and surface water) make this site a great study area for testing the impacts of in -lieu storage by not discharging to the delta surface waters, and by further using waters to inject (long-term) into degraded aquifers. Immediately to the south and east of the site, aquifers waters are in a state of overdraft. Both depth to groundwater and electrical conductivity are negatively impacted to the east. Already conducted studies suggest that in order for the facility to be able to handle long-term projected flows that either more acreage needs to be bought and irrigated by these waters, or that more discharge to surface waters of the delta will occur in a greater volume. Project Objective By combining the need to increase on-site storage and overall capacity with the need to reduce surface water discharge and groundwater pumping, an expansion pond project (as proposed) could have a multitude of benefits that are both local and regional in scope. Some of the major benefits include increased agricultural supply, increased surface water quality in the Delta, and provided means to allow increase in groundwater recharge. Project Need and Environmental Review On April 1, 2015 the Governor signed Executive Order B-29-15 in order to mitigate and reduce impacts from the California Drought. Specifically, the order identifies areas to save water, reduce water waste, invest in new technologies, and streamline governance. Items 19 and 20 specifically identify: 19. State permitting agencies shall prioritize review and approval of water infrastructure projects and programs that increase local water supplies, including water recycling facilities, reservoir improvement projects, surface water treatment plants, desalinization plants, stormwater capture and greywater systems. Agencies shall report to the Governor's Office on applications that have been pending for longer than 90 days. 20. The Department shall take actions required to plan and, if necessary, implement Emergency Drought Salinity Barriers in coordination and consultation with the Water Board and Department of Fish and Wildlife at locations within Sacramento- San Joaquin delta estuary. These barriers will be designed to conserve water for use later in the year to meet state and federal Endangered Species Act requirements, preserve to the extent possible water quality in the Delta, and retain water supply for essential human health and safety uses in 2015 and 2016 and in the future.

ONLINE SUBMISSION PACKET GRanTs Website '4 s� City of Lodi Page 13 s� Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission required to develop an open channel distribution system that could act as both a means for agricultural water conveyance and groundwater recharge. Already conducted studies suggest that in order for the facility to be able to handle long-term projected flows that either more acreage needs to be acquired and irrigated by these waters, or that more discharge to surface waters of the Delta will occur. Regardless, as the facility moves from 5.5 million gallons a day (MGD) up to a projected potential of 8.5 MGD, more holding areas will need to be constructed. By combining the need to increase storage and facility capacity with the need to reduce surface water discharge and groundwater pumping, a project such as this proposed effort could have a multitude of benefits that are both local and regional in scope. The exact design of the conveyance system and internal recharge galleries are a secondary portion of this project that could be performed in conjunction with the actual expansion pond construction (which is nearly ready for construction). Final pond designs are pending and being considered. The conveyance and recharge gallery would require the finalization of a groundwater recharge feasibility study to confirm injection dynamics, water quality influences, storage performance, and gallery design dimensions. This study is already being considered by the City of Lodi, and a portion of the matching funds for compliance on this proposal would be used for the recharge feasibility study and design. Some of the benefits associated with the proposed project include both an increase in quality for commercially and agriculturally useable waters, as well as salinity reduction. The simple fact that less water will be pumped will assist in the decreased potential for saline intrusions to occur in the area. Secondarily, fresh water discharges to the fields as well as lower soil zones and aquifers will continue to potentially improve saline build-up barriers. Organic Loading studies have been conducted which help to demonstrate that the water quality of the treated waste streams is lower than groundwater levels in salts. This use of fresh water as an application to land and groundwater, rather than as a surface water distribution to brackish Delta waters, is likely more effective at keeping a barrier present which promotes saline/sweet water separation (instead of mixing).

Eligibility Please specify whether the applicant is a local public agency as defined in II.A. Primary Terms of the Guidelines. Describe the legal authority of the applicant (and partners) to conduct the work and to receive and spend State grant funds. The applicant must also describe any legal agreements among partners, if applicable, that ensure project performance and tracking of funds. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 The City of Lodi - Department of Public Works is a local public agency as defined in ILA of the Primary Terms of the Guidelines. The City acts within this department as its own legal authority and is the Lead Agency for matters which are located at the proposed project site (White Slough WPCF). The WPCF is a City owned and operated facility. The City and department are authorized to conduct work and to receive funds to use (from the State) on the facility. fik Pa,ge 15 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission There currently are agreements which are in place with the local onsite power plant and vector control district to use a portioned amount of recycled waters. However, none of the water and construction as proposed in this grant application would affect, modify, or be subject to use/agreement with the aforementioned groups. There are no other legal agreements to discuss or which would affect the performance or tracking of funds. Q6. Eligibility Explain how this project will reduce salinity or other pollutants at agricultural and drinking water intakes. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 Currently, a major portion of the WPCF's (Title 22) tertiary treated water is released/discharged directly to the Delta. As an alternative, this recycled water could be used for agricultural and preserving drinking water storage in the form of un -pumped groundwater and groundwater recharge. Instead, this "high-quality" treated water is sent into the Delta where it is mixed with brackish water. This otherwise high quality recycled water (which in effect has undergone extensive cleaning and processing) is immediately downgraded through mixing with raw -saline waters of the Delta. Furthermore, because the farms around the site do not have access to this water, the use of pumped groundwater for irrigation is still required. This pumped groundwater could otherwise be used for drinking water supply and long- term storage. The immediate onsite use of this recycled water and to neighboring sites (long-term) could improve the supply of surface and piped water for aarireiltimm. This In turn would preserve the local groundwater as a longer lasting drinking water supply. This 90 acre expansion pond project would decrease the outflow of the tertiary treated water by adding a significant amount of holding capacity to the facility. The expansion pond would also double as an onsite recharge infiltration basin, which could further improve a long-term salinity barrier and improve groundwater supply security. Ultimately, (as groundwater supplies continue to dwindle) a project which provides a means to utilize already pumped waters through recycled use instead of additional pumping is not only very logical, but meets sustainability goals as established by various codes and laws. In addition, the fact that overdraft exists in the project vicinity, and that continued pumping for agriculture will lead to significant saline intrusion into the groundwater system makes this an appealing project to fund. Q7. Eligibility Is this project located in the legal Delta? The legal Delta is defined in the California Water Code, Division 6, Part 4.5, Chapter 2, Section 12220. http://bayDeltaoffice.wat,er.ca.ggv/Deltlas a2 -Genera, I.pdf YES Ah Page 16 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission Q8.

Q17.Obiectives Describe the objectives for the proposed project to address the major water -related issues within the project region, including, at a minimum, all relevant water quality elements. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 The objective of the proposed project is to increase surface water holding and onsite groundwater recharge. The water to be used in this expansion pond is tertiary treated water that currently is discharge to the Delta. Some of the major water related issues which the local region faces include; salinity intrusion, groundwater depletion, surface and ground water contamination from storm and waste sources, surface water shortages, agricultural water shortages, water shortage for energy uses, and biological water quality reduction. This proposed project's immediate benefits address many of these issues. Benefits associated with the proposed project include both an improvement in quality for commercially and agriculturally usable waters, as well as salinity reduction. The simple fact that less groundwater will be pumped will assist in the decreased potential for saline intrusions to occur in the area. Secondarily, fresh water discharges to the fields as well as lower soil zones and aquifers will continue to potentially improve saline build-up barriers. Organic loading studies have been conducted which help to demonstrate that the water quality of the treated waste streams is effectively lower than groundwater levels in salts. This use of fresh water as an application to land and groundwater, rather than as a surface water distribution to brackish Delta waters, is likely more effective at keeping a barrier present which promotes saline/sweet water separation (instead of mixing). A� Page X11 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission planned water reuse zone could potentially bring water as far east as the City of Lodi, where groundwater levels are as low as 90 feet below ground surface. In this area in particular, the alternative surface water could potentially offset major groundwater withdrawal. The need is projected at 3,000 acre feet per year of water for the planned recycle use area. With potential treated water amounts from the WPCF totaling twice to three times that volume, remaining water could be used for additional recharge activities. As discussed by the Mokelumne Watershed Interregional Sustainability Evaluation (MokeWISE) Program a top priority is a recycled wastewater recharge effort. As a project, this represents a lower Mokelumne River watershed benefit. As a concept and when combined with its impact as an agricultural and urban conservation effort, it represents a regional benefit. In addition, the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (SJCFCWCD) and the Groundwater Basin Authority (GBA) have a stated priority to improve both water quality and quantity through recharge efforts. As such, this project is well suited to fit the need of a variety of planned efforts throughout the community and greater region. A separate item of consideration is the local objective of keeping a green belt that focuses on preserving prime farmlands and waterways which are currently in between Lodi and Stockton. With increased pressures on farmers to farm with less water, and more difficulty surrounding keeping viable tracts of farm land available, this potential additional supply of water could assist maintaining this important greenbelt and prime farm land goal. In terms, of salt management, this site is situated in a prime location to provide saline barriers which could benefit both the green belt, the City of Lodi, and the City of Stockton. The fact that Stockton is feeling the effects of such saline intrusion is reason to begin early attempts to thwart early development of a saline curtain in the Lodi region. The general objective to preserve the Mokelumne River and associated tributaries is related to nearby water use and pumping allowances, including surface water allocations. By introducing this idea of Title 22 tertiary treated water as an acceptable means, and in a substantial enough volume to be significant for farming, this project could lay the groundwork for long-term benefits of this methodology for the region. Q21. Stakeholder Involvement Discuss how the proposed project will incorporate stakeholder involvement via existing or planned activities or work. Describe specific outreach activities and the target groups. The proposal should include a list of proposed stakeholders, how stakeholders were/will be identified, how they participate in the planning and implementation, and how they influence decisions made regarding water quality. Discuss a process by which additional stakeholders may be identified and included during plan development or implementation. Discuss efforts to address environmental justice concerns. If any water related entities within the project area are not included in the planning process, discuss why they were omitted. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 The project will incorporate existing plans and environmental concepts that have been under review and scrutiny (at both the public and private level) for nearly a decade. The rigors of the California Ah Page 112 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has assisted the pubic and all local agencies to be aware of the general ideas set forth here in this proposal. Specific ideas have been discussed at length within the local planning agency, and have recently been reintroduced as an idea for grant funding at the more public level. The City of Lodi is part of MokeWISE and the various local/regional San Joaquin Groundwater Management Districts. Additional effort is currently underway to discuss and begin more thorough negotiations and partnering with the Woodbridge Irrigation District, North San Joaquin Water Conservation District (NSJWCD), and the San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (SJCFCWCD). All discussions here are focused on use of additional supply and long-term conjunctive groundwater recharge efforts. Public stakeholders are well informed via outreach that the City of Lodi provides. The City has an aggressive campaign to reduce and reuse water within the City. A major water -meter program, in combination with stormwater management efforts, has been a major community wide outreach effort for the last three years. Agricultural outreach is something that will be part of this project and it will begin during the feasibility phase, and follow on after groundwater recharge feasibility has been better assessed. The objective and planned outreach would be a focused public effort at the GBA, and MokeWISE to inform and direct comments for on-going progress. The use of the SJFCWCD and NSJWCD public board meetings will be critical for informative interactions with community members throughout the life of the project. The proposal has time for meeting attendance and project performance updates throughout the life of the pond expansion, and long-term feasibility study. All local water entities which are not discussed at this point are outside the bounds of the local jurisdiction. The City's objective is first to its surrounding neighbors and internal users, and secondary to the greater regional communities. However, the City recognizes that the upper watershed affects the lower (of which Lodi is in), and finally the Delta itself. Its interconnected nature requires an integrated approach of which the City has demonstrated in the associated base documents and planning performed for the project so fa r. 22. Relation to Local Plannin The proposal must identify existing local planning documents that will be considered during development of the project. Discuss how these local planning documents relate to the project. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 The City is responsible for the local planning and is in effect the owner of this project. As a project, this has been developed first and foremost to benefit and address the long-term need of the local planning agency. The City has developed multiple plans including the Recycled Water Master Plan (2008, RMC), Urban Water Management Plan (2010, RMC), Best Practicable Treatment Control Evaluation Report (2015, West Yost Associates), the Land Application Area Expansion Study for City of Lodi White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (2014, West Yost Associates), the Organic Loading Study Technical Report (2009, West Yost Associates), and all ongoing monitoring efforts (annual and quarterly) to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for discharge permit compliance. All of these documents build off of the idea that water conservation and water management meet at the WPCF. Ah 1-Ia13 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission The intent of constructing an expansion pond for holding treated waters, recharging the groundwater and then sending it along for agricultural uses, is paramount to most of these plans and studies. The idea that groundwater could therefore be conserved for drinking water supply and that saline intrusion will be reduced, is something that an associated groundwater feasibility study (as proposed) would attempt to better define. Overall, the City planners and regional planning agencies are aware of this project, and have been for some time. Q23. Environmental Compliance The proposal must include a plan for compliance with all applicable environmental review requirements including any California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and/or, if applicable, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) obligations. DWR will be a responsible agency on these projects and will need to make findings as required by CEQA. The proposal should also address compliance with local, county, State, and federal permitting requirements. The Appendix in the PSP provides web links to CEQA information, the State Clearinghouse Handbook and NEPA information. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 Final pond designs are pending and being considered, with CEQA and NEPA compliance being covered under the overall general master expansion plan for the City, and being streamlined due to Executive Order B-29-15. Under this order, projects such as this may be simplified. Regardless, a standard streamlined CEQA notice of exemption (NOE) has been drafted. There have been associated CEQA documents that include pipeline transport of tertiary treated waters to eastern properties along the Recycled Water Master Plan corridor, which have been approved already. I herefore, the actual expansion pond plan is scheduled to run through the course of CLUA within a short period of one to two months. Plans to begin the process prior to grant awards for this and final civil design are already underway. Attached documentation is part of this proposal for DWR's review. NEPA funding requirements are not anticipated for this project based on the use of state and local funds. No federal funding is being requested. Q24. Scientific and Technical Merit Scientific and Technical Merit: The applicant will be required to demonstrate the scientific and technical merit of the proposal, including, but not limited to: submittal of a copy of all reports and studies prepared for the proposal that form the basis for or include information pertaining to the project; a brief summary of the types of information in each reference; if feasibility and pilot studies have not been completed for the proposed implementation project, an explanation regarding what has been done to determine the project's feasibility; and provide copies of the most complete design plans and specifications for the proposed project. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 The City of Lodi has performed well over $500,000 in investigation and preliminary feasibility, engineering, and has prepared detailed cost estimates for the proposed expansion pond. When combined with the decade plus of environmental permitting compliance at the site (including monitoring wells, surface water sampling, soil analysis, permeability and percolation testing, ongoing stormwater review, ongoing RWQCB monitoring, etc.) the City has spent well over $2,000,000 in preparing for, and planning to perform the Ah Page 114 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission proposed expansion. The following studies are considered to be the most pertinent to the project at this time and are as follows: West Yost Associates, 2014, Technical Memorandum, Land Application Area Expansion Study forthe City of Lodi White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. West Yost Associates, 2015, Draft -City of Lodi, White Slough, Water Pollution Control Facility, Best Practice Treatment Control (BPTC) Evaluation Report). RMC, 2010, City of Lodi, Urban Water Management Plan. RMC, 2008, Regional Water Recycled Water Master Plan, Agricultural Reuse Project. 2015, Executive Department, State of California, Executive Order B-29-15 West Yost Associates, 2009, White Slough WPCF, Organic Loading Study Technical Report. West Yost Associates, 2014, City of Lodi White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, 2014 Annual Groundwater Report. California Code of Regulations, 2008, Title 22, Chapter 15, Article 2., General Requirements, Classification of Water Treatment Facilities. City of Lodi, 2014, Public Draft Review, Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the City of Lodi Industrial Wastewater Pipeline Extension. These studies are attached for further review by the proposal committee. The final planning required to bring this project into construction would include civil design of the pond, and long-term feasibility study for recharge. Both of these items are better described in the associated (and attached) work plan, however, they are relatively straightforward. The civil plans are basic design drawings associated with the planned location and already scoped sizing and basic design criteria as identified in the Land Application Area Expansion Study. 25. ImDlementability/Feasibili Identify specific actions, projects, and studies, ongoing or planned, by which the project will be implemented. Identify the responsible parties for project implementation and, if applicable, clearly identify linkages or interdependencies with other projects. Demonstrate economic and technical feasibility at a programmatic level. Identify the current status of each element of the project, such as existing infrastructure, feasibility, pilot or demonstration project, design completed, etc. Include timelines for all active or planned projects and identify the institutional structure that will ensure successful project implementation. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 There are no new studies that are ongoing at this moment. For this project to be completed a final design will need to be developed and rendered by a civil/geotechnical engineer. The required feasibility study of the pond will include percolation testing and determination of the potential for infiltration. As discussed in the associated work plan, a secondary portion of the project will include the initial study of an advanced recharge gallery, which doubles as a surface water conveyance system. The initial steps of field simulated testing, soils analysis, and design of pond embankments are relatively simple. The proposal to perform this work is under consideration at this time. Plans to begin this portion of the work prior to the award of grant funding are possible. Ah Page 117 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission obvious impact occurs as either a negative or positive, variations in the design of the expansion pond will follow. For example, as planned if the pond is effective in storage and infiltration, than further ponds and conveyance design will likely mimic it. However, if infiltration and hydraulic gradients are too difficult to overcome for percolation to occur correctly, then redesign using trench and pit wells maybe implemented. Likewise, if surface water negatively begins to impact the groundwater chemistry during the ongoing feasibility study then a pond lining may be retrofit to change the pond to allow for only holding, rather than recharge/infiltration. Water samples will be taken as per standard quarterly requirement from a variety of local monitoring wells. Additional shallow wells, and geophysical surface analysis will be used to supplement where no data points currently exist. Surface water sample protocols will remain the same and may even increase based on the increase in storable water. All of these tests are well described in the attached annual monitoring report of waste discharge that is addressed to the RWQCB. For a more detailed review please see this attachment. The project already complies with section IV.E Surface Water Monitoring Requirements. Q28. Impacts and Benefits Provide an overview of the impacts and benefits from the project implementation. Include an evaluation of expected impacts and benefits within the project area and in adjacent areas, including the Delta. Benefits should be focused primarily on, but not limited to, improvements to local and Delta water quality, including projected seasonal and year-round variations and contribution to local/regional long-term water quality objectives for the Delta. Include an evaluation of impacts and benefits to other applicable resources, such as air quality, energy, etc. If applicable, discuss any environmental justice concerns and considerations. Include a discussion of how future conditions, such as climate change, could change the project impacts or benefits, the potential impacts of climate change on the project and how the project performance would be affected by sea level rise(SLR) , and changes in hydrology expected from climate change. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 As noted in various forms already stated, the benefits of this project include a host of topics which range from salinity reduction to agricultural water supply improvement, minimized groundwater pumping and in -lieu recharge, and improved water quality for sensitive receptors in the Delta waters from decreased surface waste discharge. The long-term significance of this project is based on an educated assumption that by using more recycled water that less pumping and use of prized and limited groundwater will occur. The projected seasonal and year round impacts from this project on the Delta waters would be improved quality (year-round), more stable saline and groundwater level rises/falls in the area, and a more secure source of onsite water for stabilized power production, mosquito abatement district processes, and farmer's crops. Environmental justice concerns are something that this project would hopefully alleviate. Rather than use the waste water as a direct discharge to the Delta, it could be used in a farm environment. Rather than use precious pumped groundwater near the Mokelumne River (and depleting/changing its hyporheic environment), water that is already pumped can be cycled back into the system. To alleviate concerns Page 118 City of Lodi Proposal Package — Copy of Online Submission about impacts to the groundwater from the source water, ongoing monitoring would be established, and a comparison of the Title 22 Standards to drinking water and yielded well water samples will be performed for verification of impact. Sea level impacts could ultimately affect the site and the project, however, this site is poised to be at the location of a great divide between saline and fresh waters for the next 50 years. Therefore, the action and requirement of sea -level rise consideration may make this project (in this location) even more justifiable than otherwise. The impact of a saline barrier in this particular location may be very substantial as sea level rise occurs. However, this is speculative in nature, and the biggest beneficial impacts seem to outweigh any negative impacts at this time. Q29. Finance Plan Applicants are required to provide a finance plan for their proposed project, including an enumeration of all the costs of planning, design, implementation, long term operation and maintenance of the proposed project, and the economic benefits related to water quality expected to be derived directly from the project. The economic benefits may be quantified in monetary terms. When economic values cannot be assigned to the benefit the applicants may quantify the benefits in physical terms. This finance plan shall demonstrate to DWR's satisfaction the applicant's ability to finance the initial and long term project costs. Maximum Character Limit: 4000 All applicable costs and benefits (both monetary and physical) are best shown in the attached work plan and budget/values tables. Please see those for more information. This project is highly beneficial and for the benefit versus cost, it is likely to be of higher value than other slated and/or proposed projects at this time. We look forward to discussing and justifying costs and values should questions arise about the detailed breakdown that is attached within.
