WRF Project Community Goals

• Produce Tertiary Disinfected Wastewater• Project to be designed accordingly

• Produce Reclaimed Wastewater Cost-Effectively• Master Reclamation Plan will address this• Including reclamation as early as possible reduces long-

term costs

• Allow for Onsite Composting• Onsite composting is not recommended, regional facility

will be more cost-effective

Page 4: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

WRF Project Community Goals

• Design for Energy Recovery• Consideration included in FMP

• Design to Treat for Contaminants of Emerging Concern• Included in treatment evaluation criteria

• Allow for other Municipal Uses• Site planning in FMP allows for this possibility

Page 5: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

WRF Project Community Goals

• Ensure Compatibility with Neighboring Land Uses• Siting was key to this• FMP required this in project design; EIR will analyze

this

• Operational within 5 years• Project on schedule for beginning operation in 2021

Page 6: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

WRF Project Background

• Jan 2013: CCC denial of CDP for WWTP Upgrade

• Dec 2013: Site Options Report 17 sites narrowed to 7; Council direction to compare the best sites (in both Morro and Chorro Valley)

• May 2014: Report recommends Morro Valley, but Chorro Valley also suitable; Council direction to compare WRF in MV to regional facility at CMC

• Dec 2014: Report determines CMC facility not desirable (very high cost; logistical challenges); Council focus remains on Morro Valley

• April 2015: CSD decides to pursue separate project

Page 7: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

WRF Project Background

• Feb 2016: Neighborhood concerns in Morro Valley lead to additional site analysis

• May 2016: Chorro Valley site (South Bay Boulevard) determined to be most achievable in 5-year timeframe when balancing cost and other logistical issues

• June 2016: City Council selects South Bay Boulevard site for detailed studies, FMP site planning, and EIR analysis

Solid Material from Treatment Process Will Be

Composted at a Regional Facility

Investigated opportunities to reduce costs for project by:

• Create marketable products processing materials on-site

• Use biosolids to generate energy

• City’s current practice is most cost-effective

• Processing on-site or providing facilities to generate energy not cost-effective

• Liberty Composting in Kern County provides beneficial use of processed materials

Page 25: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Why So Much Higher than 2013 Costs?

• $100M Estimate was mid-range for comparison of sites ONLY

• South Bay Boulevard is 10-15% higher than Morro Valley sites

• 3 years of cost escalation was 8-9%

• Highest and best water recycling opportunities required higher-end treatment processes

• Ancillary facilities and work not known or included (plant decommissioning, recycled water delivery system, etc.)

Page 37: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

May 2016 Site Analysis

• Goal was comparison of sites only

• Partial WRF Costs at South Bay Blvd site

• Midpoint of cost range (based on 2014 assumptions) = $107M

• 2013 siting studies assumed wide range of treatment technologies

• No regional recycled water system

• No decommissioning of existing site

$84M – 132M

Preferred site

Page 38: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

New Information from FMP and Studies

SBB site is preferred & has less delays

Standalone EQ storage is needed for advanced treatment

WWTP decommissioning costs are higher than previous estimates

SBR/MBR, membrane filtration, and UV disinfection are essential

Groundwater aquifer storage is available in the Morro Valley

Possible to offset State Water deliveries with groundwater injection

Page 39: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

New Opportunities

Water independence is possible

All water demand may be met through reuse and groundwater

Current and future costs of State Water could be eliminated

Initial water/wastewater costs will be higher, but less vulnerable to escalation

WRF will be well positioned to meet the Project Goals

Highest & best use

• Reclaimed Water• Best available treatment

for CECs• Ph 1 + Ph 2 built in 5 yrs

Lower water rates in future

Page 40: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

WRF Cost to Customers

“Hard” Costs

(Construction, Demolition)

Operation & Maintenance

(Power, Staffing, and Chemicals)

“Soft” Costs

Page 41: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

How Do We Predict Rate Impacts?

• What are the Total Project Costs (“Hard”, “Soft”, and Operation & Maintenance (ongoing))?

• Can the WRF Project reduce other customer utility costs?

• Can we buy less imported water and what would that save?

• What will be the financing cost (interest rates & terms)?

• What grants can we pursue?

• Could project design include solar power to reduce ongoing costs?

Page 42: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

WRF Project Contingency

• “Contingency” – Not a “soft cost”, but not used if not needed

• “What we don’t know we don’t know”

• Typically reduced as project moves forward

Page 43: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

WRF Project Components

Page 47: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Water Supply Costs

• Indirect potable reuse could offset State Water Costs

• State Water Project Costs

• $2,000 per acre foot (16/17)

• $2,200 - $2,400 per AF (est. future)

• Morro Valley Groundwater costs

• $1,000 per acre foot

• 580 AFY allocation

• Seawater desalination costs

• $1,600 per acre foot

Page 48: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Annual Cost of State Water

Estimated Annual Cost

State Water at Current Rate ($2,000/AF) $2.4M

State Water at Estimated Future Rate ($2,200/AF) $2.64M

Note: Annual cost based on 1200 acre-feet (AF)

Page 49: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

How Much Could We Reduce Costs?

Potential Savings

30 Year SRF Loan Payment (2% vs. 2.5% Financing) $1.6M/yr

Savings without State Water Project costs $1.5M/yr

Grant Funding10 – 20% of capital costs

Solar Power Purchase AgreementUp to 1/3 of power costs

Page 50: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Water vs. Sewer Rates

• Currently, water and sewer are separate funds

• Water rates were raised to correct existing funding shortfalls (had nothing to do with the WRF project)

• Sewer rates were recently raised to account for a reclamation-ready (Phase 1) project, and assumed Cayucos would participate

• Since we are now considering a full reclamation project alone and have more cost information, sewer rates will need to be increased to account for the difference

Page 51: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Water vs. Sewer Rates

• A rate study will be needed to determine the potential increase

• This study will occur once both the FMP and Master Reclamation Plan are completed (likely in summer 2017)

• Grants may offset part of that possible increase

• Reduced dependence on current water supplies (State Water, groundwater, and desalinated seawater) may also reduce the net rate increase, when sewer and water are considered together

Page 52: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Water vs. Sewer Rates

• No current water supply benefit for wastewater disposal

• In the future, highly treated wastewater will become part of the water supply

• Cost for imported water (State Water) is higher than other City water supplies (groundwater and seawater) but…

• Groundwater supply is limited and seawater is expensive and can be treated only during emergencies

• Therefore, new WRF (“sewer project”) can reduce water rates

Page 53: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

• More detail needed in lift station evaluation?

• Storage for excessive storm flow—more analysis needed?

• CEQA Issues

• Economic impacts?

• County LCP Consistency?

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions (and corp yard)

Page 60: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Feedback: Key Issues

• Financial Issues

• Pumping Costs

• Interest Rates for loans?

• Reclamation

• Where will water be injected? Need more evaluation

• Corporation Yard

• Some support moving corp yard to WRF site; others do not

Page 61: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Feedback: Key Issues at WRFCAC

• Public Input

• Similar to feedback received in letters

Page 62: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Feedback: WRFCAC Input 12-6-16

• Project Costs

• Minimize costs; focus on the WRF, not other community goals

• Why include a 25% contingency? Too high?

• Unclear as to how project costs were derived; clarify and fine-tune

• Was there peer review of the cost opinions?

• Show effects on sewer and water rates separately

• Questions raised about involvement of City finance staff, use of software, budget report

Page 63: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Feedback: WRFCAC Input 12-6-16

• Facility Layout and Amenities

• Focus on WRF, not other city facilities—intent is to minimize costs

• Other City facilities (like the corp yard) should be studied in EIR

• Possible to have lift station locations between Highway 1 and the coast?

• Pipeline location; disagreement about whether cross-country or in City streets would be better (cheaper? less environmental impact? less traffic disruption?)

Page 64: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Feedback: WRFCAC Input 12-6-16

• Environmental and Design Issues

• How would raw sewage be prevented from leaving the WRF in a storm?

• Potential groundwater contamination?

• Access road width; disagreeing opinions as to need

• Concerned about the amount of cut and fill needed

• Would elimination of corp yard reduce footprint? Or cut/fill?

Page 65: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Feedback: WRFCAC Input 12-6-16

• Environmental and Design Issues

• Need to address biological and cultural resource impacts from pipelines

• Lift Station elevations would be useful to see in EIR for CCC

• If solar is included, address potential battery storage options

• Minimize lighting

Page 66: City Council Presentation December 13, 2016

Feedback: WRFCAC Input 12-6-16

• FMP Document – editorial comments

• Executive Summary is clear

• Some chapters could be more clearly written (Ch.3, for example)

• Other City facilities (like the corp yard) should be studied in EIR
