Box 284 Redlands, CA 92373 SUBJECT: Proposed San Bernardino Regional Waste Water Facility Proposal Dear Mr. Van Mouwerik, ~'l The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority has authorized their staff to 11 pursue a proposal for developing a Regional Waste Water Treatment Facility to achieve compliance with the Santa Ana Regional Board requirements for sewage discharges to the Santa Ana River. The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) has conducted a similar program in the Norco/Home Gardens area of Riverside County. Although this proposal has been discussed with each of the agencies, at least at staff level, a more thorough discussion of the program and alternatives will be necessary for complete understanding of the role of SAWPA in this program. The first step in this program is to explain the proposal to those persons that would be affected by such a program and enlist their support and participation. A meeting has been scheduled for this purpose. Each agency that may be affected or interested in the program has been invited to afford the opportunity to discuss the program at, length. A meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m. on September 8, 1986 in the Board Room of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, 1350 South E Street, San Bernardino. #rz8 Toeal Water Quality Management - SAWPA's Commitment to the Community ..l. - ~ . o o o o To facilitate discussion, a copy of the proposal and DRAFT agreement is attached for your review. since the Regional Board must act tc establish a time schedule for compliance within six months (February 1987), SAWPA has prepared a TENTATIVE time schedule of activities whict could be accomplished before that date. A copy of the time schedule is also enclosed. If you have any questions regarding this Proposal, please contact myself or Mr. James Anderson, at (714) 785-5411.

James Bennett, Executive Officer of santa Ana RWQCB , o o o o SAN BERNARDINO REGIONAL WASTEWATER PROPOSAL BACKGROUND On February 3, 1986, the Santa Ana Watershed Proj,ect Authority (SAWPA) was requested by the San Bernardino Valley 1 i I I , I I I I I I I , ; ~ Municipal Water District to develop a "Project Agreement" to outline the tasks and costs of implementing a wastewater management program to comply with the Santa Ana Basin Plan. On February 11, 1986, the SAWPA Commission authorized the preparation of a draft project agreement. This draft agreement would set out the tasks which need to be conducted and develop a budget of the costs for completing the project. SAWPA'S CURRENT ACTIVITIES This program is consistent with the current activities of SAWPA. The present program of SAWPA includes work in the , following areas of the Santa Ana Basin: o A program of updating the Santa Ana Basin Plan. o Regional water resource management program in the Woodcrest area. o Regional waste water program in the Norco/Home Gardens area. o Ground water toxic studies in the Redlands area. o Operation of a regional waste water facility (SARI). o Financing of water resource programs within the o o o o , watershed. SAWPA'S INVOLVEMENT SAWPA's program for work in a specific area of the watershed commences with a "Project Agreement" among the member agencies of SAWPA. This project agreement establishes the executive authority of the agency to function and develop local agreements to carry out the tasks necessary for the program. The project agreement will set tasks and establish a funding structure for the project. Local agreements will then be established which identify the working relationships between the interested agencies (Exhibit 1). Once a project is completed in a local area, SAWPA would transfer ownership and operation and maintenance to the institutional agency designated for that purpose. SAWPA's role is one of a neutral and impartial agency which will coordinate the program activities. This will include institutional planning, financial programs and general assistance in achieving the goals set forth in the Project Agreement. SAWPA'S APPROACH TASK 1.1: Develop a Draft Project Agreement. This draft will be discussed between the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and such other members as may desire. TASK 1.2: Once the Draft agreement is satisfactory with the two agencies, discussions will be held with those agencies in the community that may wish to participate in the wastewater management program. -2- h.. L o o o o TASK 2.1: Upon the completion of the Project Agreement which would set out the establishment of "Project Committee" of members of the SAWPA Commission, the Project Committee would develop contracts with local agencies to form a Project Task Force. TASK 2.2: The Project Task Force would consist of an ? ~ Executive Committee from the elected officials of the local ~ --- communities. This Committee would meet to set any policy I I guidance that would be generated in the course of the project program. TASK 2.3: A Technical Committee would be formed to supervise the details of the project and recommend action to the Executive Committee and the local agencies for formal action. TASK 2.4 Once the Task Force is formed and the committee structure is established, those agencies which wish to participate in the program would sign contracts with the Project CommitteejSAWPA to formalize their participation. TASK 3.1: Conduct a feasibility evaluation of the various , ,alternatives for assuring compliance with the Basin Plan using existing reports and studies. This work will develop conceptual alternatives which would be reviewed by the Technical Committee. TASK 3.2: Develop a facilities plan of the selected alternatives and determine the cost effective alternative for implementation. This work includes the necessary environmental impact analysis and a market evaluation and forecast for the use of reclaimed water in the area. -3- I I' .;1 I I I 4 i , o o o o TASK 3.3: Explore and secure any financial assistance available to implement the project. This will include the determination of eligible grants from the EPA or State of California. TASK 3.4: Describe the institutional framework for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the facility(s) . TASK 3:5: Construct the necessary facility(s). TASK 3:6: Once operational facilities are completed, they will be assigned to the operating agencies. BUDGET During the development of the Project Committee and the Project Task Force, a specific budget will be negotiated with the local communities and identified in the Project Agreement. Contributions from the local agencies will be set forth in a contract between the interested agencies and SAWPA. A draft of the agreement is attached. SUMMARY As a Regional Agency established to resolve water quality problems in the Santa Ana Watershed, SAWPA is interested in the water resource program of the area. SAWPA is in a unique position to offer assistance to local communities to resolve water quality problems in a comprehensive manner. This assistance will develop, in cooperation with the local communities, the most cost effective solution which will result in an enhancement to the water resources of the region and protection of the environment. -4- o f ! j , ,. , - J1 1:& 4 - o o o DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT made and effective this ____ day of 1985, by and among the CITY OF . the CITY OF the CITY OF the SANTA ANA WATERSHED PROJECT AUTHORITY ("SAWPA") and SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT (SBVMWD) (sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "AGENCIES").
