Comparison of Desal vs GWRS Final Expansion Distribution Cost for Options 1D & 2A
12
• Total capital cost for GWRS Final Expansion Distribution Facilities is approximately $70 M
– MBI & Centennial Park Inj Wells – Burris Booster PS at Burris – Burris Outlet
• If the above facilities are designated for desalinated water – then additional injection wells will have to be constructed for GWRS Final Expansion
• The total capital cost for the new injection wells required to recharge GWRS Final Expansion water is estimated to be ~ $200 M

Selling Poseidon Water To Local Groundwater Producers
• Generally less expensive option - Requires less infrastructure • Poseidon water integration / chemistry concerns • Need to formally approach agencies to determine interest
– Sell water at MWD rate – SWRCB recent actions will limit purchase amounts – Draft agreement
• Requires City Council approval • Option 2B, 3, and 4 requires West O.C. Water Board approval
17
Recharging Poseidon Water Into the Groundwater Basin
• Institutionally easier approach • Less parties involved - OCWD is the only customer • Could require more extensive CEQA/EIR • Constructing new injection wells can be riskier and take
longer • Raises the Basin Production Percentage • All Producers theoretically benefit
18
Recharging Poseidon Water • Increases the BPP by approximately 12-13% • Future BPP percentage could be in the 90’s • Automatically adds approximately $80/af to the
project’s unit cost – well extraction cost • Not aware of anyone recharging ocean desalinated
water into a groundwater basin • Total future OCWD recharge into the groundwater
basin could exceed 400,000 afy 19

Higher BPP Issues • FY 2007-08 maximum pumping year from the GW Basin
– 366,000 afy of groundwater pumping - BPP was set at 80.2% – 8 of 19 Producers achieved the BPP
• Producers will have to construct additional wells, pipelines & pump stations
• Each Producers water distribution system is unique with different capabilities
• Some Producers will likely not be able to achieve the higher BPP • Producers with BEA waived water quality projects pumping above
the BPP (IRWD & MCWD) may not recover their capital investment 24
Estimated Financial Impacts
25
Financial Impacts • Slightly more complicated when recharging Poseidon Water
vs original Poseidon proposal • Eight different options • RA and BPP are increasing • OCWD is taking on long-term debt
– Need to maintain minimum 2.0 debt coverage ratio • OCWD operating budget increases
– Need to increase operating reserves • Requires different financial metric to evaluate the distribution
options and their total impact to the Producers water supply cost

Term Sheet
34
Term Sheet Details
• Poseidon owns, permits, designs, finances, constructs and operates the desalination treatment plant
• OCWD would purchase the plant water • OCWD owns, permits, designs, finances, constructs and
operates the necessary distribution facilities to transmit the water to the end users
• OCWD would find end users for water and/or use water to recharge the groundwater basin
35
OCWD Payments to Poseidon Resources
Years OCWD Payment to Poseidon
1 - 10 MWD rate plus a premium of up to 20% of the MWD rate
11-20 MWD rate plus a premium of up to 15% of the MWD rate
21-30 MWD rate plus a premium of up to 10% of the MWD rate
31-40 MWD rate plus a premium of up to 5% of the MWD rate
41-50 MWD rate plus a premium of up to 0% of the MWD rate
36
• Initial ten year premium amounts to be negotiated based upon Poseidon’s actual and expected cost and an agreed upon return on investment
• In later years of contract the premium amount may be less than zero • Poseidon will be guaranteed a minimum annual escalation rate to be negotiated which is shown at 3% in
the Term Sheet • Beginning in year 15 and every 5 years thereafter the premium will be reviewed and lowered if Poseidon is
receiving an economic return above an agreed upon amount
Term Sheet Details
• MWD LRP subsidy must be obtained • OCWD can take possession of the treatment plant at the end
of the contract for $1 • Poseidon would provide water at an agreed to quality • The Term Sheet is not definitive • Does not legally commit either party to any future actions. • Practically commits the District to fully consider the project and
work towards developing a Water Purchase Contract

Water Supply Reliability Policy
• May 2013 • District policy to consider and develop a
variety of local water resources to ensure sufficient water supplies are always available to the residents and business within OCWD
41
Basin Production Percentage Goal
• January 2013 • District goal to achieve and sustain a 75% Basin
Production Percentage • If additional economical projects and programs can
be implemented that support a Basin Production Percentage above 75%, the District will undertake such projects and programs.
42
Long-Term Facilities Plan
• November 2014 • Identified 17 “Focused Study Projects” projects • District staff to “prioritize” these 17 projects for
evaluation • LTFP Water Supply Projects
– GWRS Final Expansion – GWRS Urban runoff diversion to Plant 1 – Poseidon – SARI flow treatment at Ball Road Basin – Purchase upper watershed wastewater – Recovery of evapotranspiration at Prado Basin
