CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Staff Report Subject: Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino Authorizing a Grant of Easement to San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District for a well and pipeline located at the City of San Bernardino Water Reclamation Plant, 399 Chandler Place (APN 0141- 311-06 and 0141-311-07). Background: San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (SBVMWD) has implemented, with the participation of several water agencies within the Bunker Hill Basin, a Pilot Dewatering Project. The goal of the project is to lower groundwater levels within the pressure zone of the basin to reduce the threat of liquefaction and damage to roads and structures that occur when there is high groundwater. SBVMWD recently completed additional analysis and studies and filed a Notice of Determination for a Mitigated Negative Declaration for continuation of the dewatering program and a revised goal to maintain groundwater within the pressure zone thirty feet below ground surface. There are a number of existing wells operated by various water agencies that are used to assist in the program but they are not all designed to extract water from the upper water bearing areas of the aquifer. SBVMWD has designed two wells that they will install as part of the dewatering program that should be more effective in targeting groundwater extraction from the upper water bearing area of the aquifer and make dewatering of an area more effective. One of the wells is located on the site of the old post office building at Chandler Place and South E Street and the other is located at the south end of the City's Water Reclamation Plant. Both wells will connect via pipelines to a pipeline owned by the City of Riverside which will discharge water into the Riverside Canal and deliver water to Prado Basin. Agreements are in place for delivery of dewatering water from this project to Orange County Water District at Prado Basin. The Water Reclamation Plant receives benefit from these wells in that they will help maintain water levels when they are close to the ground surface and cause maintenance problems and potential structural damage at the plant, including reducing the threat ofliquefaction and catastrophic failure when water is near the ground surface and there is a seismic event. The permanent easement for the well and small pipeline at the south end of the plant contains an area of 0.06 acre, more or less and will not cause any interference with our existing or planned use of the property.
