AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Grant Funding Request for the White Slough Water
Pollution Control Facility Storage Expansion Project
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving grant funding request for the White
Slough Water Pollution Control Facility storage expansion project.
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application can be withdrawn.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.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. J� I

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 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).

I justification
The City does not currently import water, as
its supply portfolio is groundwater and
Mokelumne River water. 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

While the concept could reduce the use of
0 Mokelumne River water, this amount would
be negligible and likely not help to protect
and restore fisheries.
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

White Stnugh Water Pollution ConU•ol Ear -Aly StoLage Mansion and Surface. 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.

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. The conveyance and recharge gallery

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).

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.

The proposed use of funding would include final design and construction for this project. 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.

Estimated Benefit
The estimated costs associated with this project are relatively low when compared against other
alternatives, and the beneficial impacts posed by the project. 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

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

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. Below is a shortened timeline for the process.

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

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

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

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.

White Slough Waste Water Treatment Plant
Expansion and Surface, Agricultural, and Groundwater Supply Improvement Project
Scope of Project
This project includes construction of a 90 acre expansion pond within the City of Lodi's White
Slough Waste Water Treatment Plant.
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.

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).

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.

funding. See attached copy of most recent map of San Joaquin County CASGEM well locations. We will
also be working to develop a MOU for CASGEM certification of a smaller sub region that is directly around
the facility and the City of Lodi, if the CASGEM certification is not met within this time frame.
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).

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
