Today’s Agenda
Certify Final Supplemental Program EIR completed in compliance with CEQA Adopt Environmental Findings of Fact and
Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program Approve the “Proposed Project Modifications”
and Climate Action Plan Approve Final 2013 Master Plan Update Authorize filing of a Notice of Determination
3
Today’s Proposed Actions
Continues direction established in 2003 Plan Complete Emergency Storage Program Eliminate bottlenecks in untreated water delivery system Integrate Carlsbad Desalination into regional conveyance
Optimizes existing facilities and minimizes the need for additional investment Storage Treatment
Recommendations recognize significant reductions in future water demand due to conservation Compliance with SBX7-7 20% by 2020 Downsize, defer, or eliminate projects Approximately $700 M in CIP deferred past 2025
4
Facilities Master Plan is a Road Map to Future Infrastructure Investments
Since January 2013 Water Planning Committee Meetings covering Master Plan
and CAP elements 9 Regular Committee Meetings 5 Special Meetings/Workshops 2 Public Meetings (CEQA Scoping & Hearing)
Member Agency Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) 6 Meetings (including reservoir coordination meeting) 3 Workshops since January 2013 Reviewed and commented on detailed modeling and analysis
results Provided input on material presented to Water Planning Committee
5
Stakeholder Involvement - 2013 Master Plan, CAP and EIR Documents
Approved: Supply from the West -Seawater Desalination
Types of included projects: Initial 50 mgd Carlsbad Desalination Project Addition of Regional Water Treatment Capacity Addition of 100,000 AF of Carryover Storage Expansion of Internal System Capacity Rehabilitation of Existing Facilities
Historical Context – Certified 2003 Final PEIR
6
Master Plan assumes supply mix contained in 2010 UWMP SBX7-7 Gallons Per Capita Day 20% by 2020 Goals achieved Continued water use efficiency through 2035 planning horizon Member agencies develop recycled water and groundwater
consistent with their UWMPs Analyzes effect of additional local supplies beyond 2010 UWMPs Developed from member agencies current planning efforts City of San Diego IPR/DPR Otay Water District Rosarito Seawater Desalination North County Agencies non-potable and potable reuse
Any change to water resources mix is subject of 2015 UWMP
7
Facilities Master Plan Makes No Recommendations for New Supplies
No specific action recommended to proceed with Camp Pendleton Desalination or any Water Authority supply project Recommends adaptive management approach Continue evaluating feasibility while monitoring
progress of local and imported water supply projects Feasibility-level evaluations are not subject to CEQA
review, and therefore not part of today’s actions

Constraint
Approving the 2013 Master Plan does not authorize specific approval of any project or funding to proceed with design or construction Funding specific project recommendations will be part of
the upcoming mid-term budget adjustment process and/or future fiscal year budgets
Proceeding with any long term recommendation requires Board approval and additional environmental compliance

Follow-up Actions/Decisions Related to Recommendations in the Master Plan
11
No supply/demand gaps under normal weather Dependent on member agencies achieving
conservation and local supply targets
Supply/demand gaps will occur under multi-dry year weather and MWD water shortage allocation Infrastructure needs influenced by frequency of dry-
weather occurrence and magnitude of dry-weather shortfall
Untreated water conveyance utilization threshold exceeded around 2020 New infrastructure needed between 2020–2025
Supply shortage risks increase beyond 2025 Supply shortage risk compounded with lower local
supply development and conservation Assumes Bay-Delta fix for MWD supply reliability Member Agency supply projects can resolve most
long-term supply imbalances
Master Plan – Analysis Summary
Carryover Storage. Mitigates dry-weather supply-demand gaps and further delays new supply development.
Seasonal Storage. Alleviates peak untreated delivery constraints. Use varies between 40 and 50 TAF annually.
ESP Completion. Assures supply reliability throughout the Water Authority service area.
CIP Completion. Assures operational reliability. Project scope reassessed to align with current/projected demand profiles.
Asset Management. Delivery reliability is predicated on continued functionality of all components of the existing aqueduct system.
System Vulnerability. New isolation valves will reduce supply disruptions during shutdowns of the aqueduct system.
Hydroelectric Generation. Development opportunities exist at multiple locations.

All environmental impacts of near- and mid- term Master Plan facilities and CAP components are less than significant with program-level mitigation
Current analysis does not include any long- term water supply or conveyance projects undergoing feasibility studies
Additional project-specific level analysis will occur as Master Plan projects are further developed

Organizations Three letters from individuals 228 form letters from membership of San Diego
Chapter of Surfrider Foundation Public Hearing held January 9, 2014 11 speakers provided oral comments
Comments received on Draft SPEIR
23
Comment Response Climate Action Plan does not meet CEQA Guidelines for tiering, scope too narrow, selection of 2035 as forecast year, reduction targets, desalination consideration
Master Response 1 – Climate Action Plan
Failure to adequately consider higher conservation targets than SBX7-7; failure to adequately consider City’s IPR
Master Response 2 – Conservation and Indirect and Direct Potable Reuse
Minimize GHG emissions and ‘embedded energy’ in water supply portfolio; develop a preferred “loading order” of water supply options
Master Response 3 - Embedded Energy in Water Supply Planning
Explain analysis in 2010 UWMP scenarios vs. 2013 Master Plan Update scenarios
Master Response 4 – Master Plan and Urban Water Management Plan Scenarios
SPEIR analysis not adequate; revise and recirculate
Master Response 5 – Suggested Recirculation of the Draft SPEIR
24
Summary of Main Comments and Responses to Draft SPEIR
Comments focused on two main topics: 1. Growth inducement Addressed in final, certified 2003 Program EIR;
Supported conclusion of Supply from the West as preferred alternative
Supplemental PEIR updated the section with most recent growth forecast information, meets all requirements of CEQA and State law guiding integrated planning
2. GHG Emissions All points are addressed in Master Response 1 –
Climate Action Plan
Additional letter received on Final SPEIR
25
Required Actions/Permits
Water Authority Board of Directors Certify SPEIR, approve “Project” under CEQA, adopt
Findings of Fact and Mitigation Monitoring & Reporting Plan, and approve Final 2013 Master Plan Update and CAP
No facility construction approvals as outcome of process; therefore no permits required at Program level
26
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended the Board adopt a Resolution (attached) that: 1. Certifies the Final Supplemental Program EIR has
been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State CEQA Guidelines, and reflects the independent judgment of the Board;
2. Concurrently adopts the Environmental Findings of Fact and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program;
3. Approves the Proposed Project modifications and the Climate Action Plan (the “Project”);
4. Approves the 2013 Regional Water Facilities Optimization and Master Plan Update; and
5. Authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination.
