BACKGRUND INFORMATION: In June 2016, the City was awarded a Proposition 84, Delta, San Joaquin River, and Sacramento River Water Quality Program Grant by the California Department of Water Resources, to receive $4,600,000. The grant is only offered to agencies located within the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta Area. The grant funds up to 75 percent of the total proposed costs (environmental, design, and construction) of onsite recycled water storage facilities, intended to improve groundwater quality in the region. The 300 acre-foot capacity storage pond system will be used to store disinfected tertiary treated effluent to be used for irrigating the City's 890 acres of agricultural land surrounding White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF), and to reduce the volume of effluent being discharged to the Delta. For these reasons it is also expected the project will further enhance the City's position in complying with the State's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. The City is responsible for the remaining 25 percent in matching funds. On January 20, 2016, Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Petrologix Engineering for the environmental, geological, geotechnical, and- preliminary and final design work needed to initiate the construction phase of this substantial project. As mandated by state law, City staff prepared an Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (File No. 2017-02 ND) in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, and on March 15, 2017, Council adopted a resolution certifying the document. The project includes a new 300 acre-foot capacity storage pond that will store tertiary -treated wastewater, approximately 3,400 feet of 18 -inch diameter pipe that will convey water to and from the new pond, a new pump station to both fill and drain the pond, a new structure that will monitor and control the flow to the pond, piping connections at two existing structures, associated electrical/instrumentation improvements, and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the project.
