copy of the Agreement initiating preliminary study is attached as
Exhibit 1. The City of Lodi will be asked to sign this Agreement at a later date. All costs under this
Agreement will be the responsibility of EBMUD and San Joaquin County. The major principles of the
Project include:
• stop the overdraft of the East San Joaquin groundwater basin
• restore this groundwater basin to a reasonable level
• stop saline intrusion
• provide the water needs to the East San Joaquin Parties (ESJP)
supply EBMUD with dry -year water
The ESJP include the following agencies:
• Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID)
• North San Joaquin Water Conservation District (NSJWCD)
• Central San Joaquin County Water Conservation District (CSJCWCD)
• Stockton East Water District (SEWD)
• City of Lodi
• City of Stockton
• San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District
The ESJP Technical Committee, a subcommittee of the Water Policy Committee, is presently working
with EBMUD engineers to develop a formal work plan. As part of the work plan, some of the major
water sources to be considered are:
• wet -year Mokelumne River water supply
• existing entitlements of ESJP from the Mokelumne and Calaveras rivers
• EBMUD's American River supply

ITEM 2 - EBMUD WATER SUPPLY ACTION PLAN
SCOPE OF WORK
The project objective is to meet the present and future water needs of the Eastem San
Joaquin Parties (ESJP) while meeting E9MUD's future dry year water needs. The
ubjecdve of this scope of work is to identify a short list of one or more alternative plans that
would achieve the project objectives. Data, tools and analytical results developed In Phase
1 of the Mokelumne Aquifer Recharge and Storage Project (MARS) will be used to the
ascent possible and practicable In this work to minimize costs and provide consistency of
analyses and results between the two efforts. In. particular, the San Joaquin County IGSIi
and the GIS originally developed for Phase 1 MARS will serve as the basic analytical tools
for this work.
STAG$ I - DEVELOP PROJECT BASIS
Activities completed in this stage aro intended to provide the fundamental knowledge and
understanding required to support subsequent formulation of coherent alternative plans that
would achieve the project objectives.
Task A Evaluate Water Needs and Potential Water Sources
1. Using the San Joaquin County IGSM, evaluate the following:
- Total yearly quantity of water required to stop saline intrusion and initiate
basin storage recovery,
- Minimum groundwater elevation(s) required to have no further saline
intrusion (threshold elevation),
Annual average volume of water required to achieve threshold elevation in
5 years, 10 years
• Annual average quantity of water required to meet joint project goals with
groudwater elevations always above threshold elevation,
- Dry year water supply if 300,000 aflyr is available in wet years, dry year
water supply if 400,000 of/yr is available in wet years.
Describe the basis and evaluate the following potendal water sources:
2. EBMUD American River water service contract delivered from the Folsom South
Canal (FSC), as conditioned by the Hodge Decision.

County Parties
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY/EAST BAY MUNICIPAL
UTILITY DISTRICT JOINT WATER PLANNING
PROGRAM
May, 1995
Background
On May 2, 1995, the San Joaquin County
Board of Supervisors approved a
cooperative program with the East Bay
Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to
identify ways to meet the future water needs
of both the County and EBMUD. The
objective of the program is to formulate, by
August 1995, one or more water supply
plans that would meet the parties' mutual
needs and to assess the benefits and costs of
these plans. Currently underway, the study
program is considering several sources of
water and various major water conveyance
facilities as possible parts of an overall plan
to bring additional water to San Joaquin
County.
Has the County committed to a water
project with EBMUD?
No, at this time the Board of Supervisors has
approved a study program intended to
develop alternative specific water supply
plans for further consideration.
What are the goals of the water supply
plan?
The goals of the plan are to satisfy eastern
San Joaquin County's long-term water
supply needs while supplementing
EBMUD's water supply in dry years to
prevent rationing levels in excess of 25
percent.
How will the plan meet these needs?
The basic concept is that in wet years,
surplus water would be used to recharge the
eastern San Joaquin County groundwater
basin. In dry years, water previously stored
in the basin would be pumped for use in the
County and to firm up EBMUD's
Mokelumne River supply.
Is EBMUD's American River water
supply being considered?
Yes, several means of incorporating
EBMUD's federal American River Water
Service Contract into the plan are being
considered.
Are other new water supplies being
looked at as sources of groundwater
recharge?
Surplus supplies from the Mokeiumne,
Calaveras and Stanislaus Rivers are all being
considered along with reclaimed wastewater
from Lodi and Stockton, San Joaquin
County's American River water rights
permit application, potential new diversions
from the Sacramento River, and various
potential water transfers.
May 1995 * undercurrents • 1
What facilities are being looked at?
Major facilities being considered. include an
unlined canal between the Folsom South
Canal and the Farmington Canal, new
irrigation distribution systems serving areas
currently dependent solely on groundwater,
a large diameter pipeline from the
Sacramento River near Freeport to the
Folsom South Canal, a large diameter
pipeline from Beaver Slough west of Lodi to
the unlined canal listed above, and a large
diameter pipeline from the Folsom South
Canal to the Mokelumne Aqueducts.
What will the alternative plans include?
Each alternative will consist of a
combination of the water sources and
facilities described above configured to meet
the future water needs of both San Joaquin
County and EBMUD. The operation, costs,
benefits, and major impacts of each
alternative will be described.
What about environmental impacts?
The study program approved by the Board
of Supervisors is intended to identify a range
of reasonable water supply plans for further
consideration. identification and
preliminary evaluation of major
environmental issues is central to this effort
and is included in the study program.
However, should the County, or any other
public entity, elect to further consider the
plans for implementation, additional
environmental review will be required
pursuant to law.
Who is conducting the joint study
