CALFED Objectives
• CALFED Objectives– Improve the Bay-Delta ecosystem– Improve water supply reliability– Improve water quality for all beneficial uses
• The CALFED Record of Decision specified the following for the Los Vaqueros Reservoir Studies:
“Expand Los Vaqueros Reservoir by up to 400 thousand acre-feet…with local partners as part of a Bay Area water quality and water supply reliability initiative.”
• CALFED Implementation Commitment– Beneficiaries of the project shall pay for the project
10
Project Overview
• CALFED is studying whether an expanded Los Vaqueros Reservoir can meet CALFED and Bay Area water agencies’ objectives
• Water Quality• Reliability• Environmental
Enhancement
• Expansion from 100,000 acre-feet up to 500,000 acre-feet maximum capacity
11
Existing Los Vaqueros Project
• Owned and operated by CCWD• Provides Emergency Storage
– Protects against a catastrophe in the Delta• Improves Water Quality
– Changes the timing and location of diversions– Stores water for blending when Delta water quality is poor
• Enhances Delta Environment– State-of-the-art fish screens– Flexible timing and location of diversion

• Existing Los Vaqueros Project – Benefits– Facilities– Ownership & Operations
• Potential Partners– Bay Area Water Agencies– CALFED Agencies
17
Agenda
• 2003 Studies: Information and Schedule• Current Project & Potential Expansion• CCWD Reimbursement (CCWD Principle #6)• Possible Institutional Structures (CCWD Principle # 5)• Cost & Financing (CCWD Principle # 5 and #6)• Value of Benefits
18
Reimbursement to CCWD
• CCWD Principle #6– The project protects and reimburses the financial investment
made by the CCWD customers who financed the existing $450 million Los Vaqueros Project
• Interpretation– CCWD would share elements of the existing project needed for
the expansion project– CCWD would be reimbursed for existing facilities that would be
shared or rendered unusable– CCWD would retain sole ownership of some project facilities– CCWD would pay for its fair share of the new project
• Considerations– Reimbursement subject to negotiation with potential partners
and CALFED
19
Reimbursement to CCWD
• Study Team’s initial analysis indicates CCWD’s net reimbursement would be between $100 and $200 million
• The CCWD Board of Directors would determine how to use this reimbursement– Reduce CCWD debt and water rates– Buy additional water quality or reliability benefits– Combination
• CCWD water rates would not increase as a result of the expansion
20
CCWD spent $450 million on the existing project
21
CCWD would retain ownership of facilities used only by CCWD
Existing Project Elements Used Only By CCWD
• Conveyance– Transfer Pipeline (from
reservoir)– Los Vaqueros Pipeline
• Watershed Property– Watershed lands not
inundated
22
Partners would pay CCWD for existing facilities rendered unusable
• Dam• Conveyance
– Old River Pump Station– Transfer Pump Station– Transfer Pipeline (to
reservoir)• Impacted Recreation
Facilities– Marina– Trails– Picnic Areas
23
Participants would share in the value of existing project elements that contribute to the
expansion project
Participant’s share will be determined by the extent they benefit from the project elements
• Existing Facilities– Old River Intake– Vasco Road Relocation– Utility Relocation– Watershed Improvements– Inundated Area Lands– Existing Mitigation
24
Participants, including CCWD, would pay their share of the expansion project costs
• New Facilities– Conveyance
• Delta Intakes & Pipelines
• Delta Pump Station• Delta-Los Vaqueros
Pipeline– Los Vaqueros-South Bay
Aqueduct Pipeline & Pump Station
– Recreation Facilities– Dam– Mitigation
25
Reimbursement to CCWD
• Methodology relies upon “beneficiary pays” commitment• Actual reimbursement amounts depend on the size of facilities and negotiations with CALFED
Agencies and potential partners• These estimates are conservative so that the studies do not overestimate the potential reimbursement• The analysis does not commit any party to a value, including CCWD, Bay Area water agencies or
CALFED Agencies
Existing Los Vaqueros Reservoir Project $450 Million
Cost of the existing Los Vaqueros Reservoir $800 MillionProject with inflation
Net Reimbursement to CCWD $100 to 200 Million
CCWD cost for share of new facilities $250 to 200 Million
CCWD Recovery for existing facilities $350 to 400 Million
2008 Dollars
Actual Dollars
26
ConclusionsReimbursement to CCWD
• This basis of cost sharing meets CCWD Principle #6– The project protects and reimburses the financial investment made by the
CCWD customers who financed the existing $450 million Los Vaqueros Project
• CCWD maintains benefits of existing reservoir and receives additional water quality and reliability benefits
• Based on these cost sharing principles, the analysis shows a reimbursement between $100 to $200 million to CCWD– Would depend on the benefits CCWD purchases– The CCWD Board of Directors would determine how to use this
reimbursement– Subject to negotiation with potential partners and CALFED Agencies
• CCWD water rates would not increase as a result of the expansion
27

43
Agenda
• 2003 Studies: Information and Schedule• Current Project & Potential Expansion• CCWD Reimbursement (CCWD Principle #6)• Possible Institutional Structures (CCWD Principle # 5)• Cost & Financing (CCWD Principle # 5 and #6)• Value of Benefits
44
Cost and Financing
• CALFED Implementation Commitment– “A fundamental philosophy of the CALFED Program is
that costs should, to the extent possible, be paid by the beneficiaries of the program actions.” CALFED Implementation Commitment included in CALFED ROD
• Considerations - Repayment depends on selection of financing and
repayment mechanisms
45
Financing Options
• Four probable sources of funds– Federal Appropriations– State General Obligation Bonds– State Revenue Bonds– Local Revenue Bonds
• Source and types of funding determined by each partner’s governing body
• Project would likely be financed by some combination of sources
46
Financing OptionsFederal Funds
• Federal Appropriations for Construction– Authorized by Congress– Through the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation– Financing costs can be lower than other options – Repayment based on share of benefits
47
Financing OptionsState Funds
• General Obligation Bonds– Approved by voters– Currently used to fund many CALFED activities– Debt service costs paid by State General Fund– Generally appropriate for projects with broad public benefits
• State Revenue Bonds– Approved by state legislature– Repaid from project revenue– Used to finance the State Water Project– Generally have higher financing costs
48
Financing OptionsLocal Funds
• Pay-as-You-Go– No interest or debt service costs
• General Obligation Bonds– Generally require voter approval
• Revenue Bonds– Approved by local boards of directors– Some types may require voter approval
• Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund– Low interest loans for water utilities (up to $20 million per project)

ConclusionsFinancing Options
• Financing methods are available for each of the potential partners– Bay Area water agencies would pay for the benefits
they receive– CALFED Agencies would pay for environmental
benefits• The agencies would determine the method for financing
environmental water actions• CALFED and ultimately Congress and the State Legislature
would determine how costs are repaid
51
Questions and Discussion
• Possible financing options– Federal– State– Local
52
Agenda
• 2003 Studies: Information and Schedule• Current Project & Potential Expansion• CCWD Reimbursement (CCWD Principle #6)• Possible Institutional Structures (CCWD Principle # 5)• Cost & Financing (CCWD Principle # 5 and #6)• Value of Benefits
– Summary of benefits– Methods used to value benefits
53
Part 1 Evaluation of Potential Benefits
• The Study Team evaluated varied ways of operating an expanded reservoir– Single purpose operations
• Delta environmental benefits only• Bay Area water agencies drought reliability only
– Multi-purpose operations• Providing Delta environmental benefits and drought reliability
– Drinking water quality improves for all operations
54
Part 1 Evaluationof Potential Benefits
• Multi-purpose operations maximize total benefits– Environmental and drought reliability benefits similar to each
single purpose operation– Combined benefits greater than single purpose
• Facility sizes accomplish varied benefits– 300,000 acre-foot reservoir
• Suitable size for single purpose operations– 500,000 acre-foot reservoir with 1,000 cubic feet per second
(cfs) intakes• Suitable size for multi-purpose operations
– Increasing intake size to 1,750 cfs• Provides more flexible reservoir filling and reduced impacts to Delta
environment
55
Benefits to CCWD
• Water Quality– High quality blending water to last through a 6-
year drought• Reliability
– Up to 20,000 acre-feet of reliable water supplies in each year of an extended drought
– Up to 120,000 acre-feet total of reliable water supplies over an extended drought
• Reimbursement– Between $100 and $200 million to purchase
additional benefits or reduce CCWD costs
56
Benefits for Bay Area Water Agencies
• High water quality into the future– New intakes would reduce salts and bromide– Larger intakes allow faster reservoir filling when quality is
better– Deeper reservoir with multiple intakes reduces algae– These improvements would improve taste, reduce
treatment costs, improve the ability to meet existing and future water quality regulations, and reduce public health risks
• More reliable water supplies– Up to 60,000 acre-feet of reliable water supplies in each
year of an extended drought– Up to 370,000 acre-feet total of reliable water supplies
over an extended drought
57
Benefits toDelta Enhancement
• Expanded Los Vaqueros Reservoir Enhances Delta Environment– Reduces impacts to fisheries from existing SBA
diversion• State-of-the-art fish screens• Flexible timing of diversion
– Creates storage and flexibility for Environmental Water that could allow
• Shut downs at state and federal pumps when fish are present (up to 160,000 acre-feet per year)
• Water for wildlife refuges• Water for in-stream flows upstream of Delta
58
Approach for Valuing Benefits
• The Study Team is developing an approach to assign a dollar value to each of the project benefits– Water Quality
• Consumer Benefits• Agency Benefits• Industrial Benefits
– Reliability– Environmental Water– Recreation
• Approach– Coordinate with the CALFED Common Assumptions Group and the
Bay Area water agencies– Estimate the dollar value of each benefit
59
Consumer Water Quality Benefits
• Consumer benefit: Reduced salts delivered to consumers– Lower total dissolved solids (TDS) and total hardness (TH)
levels means household appliances and plumbing fixtures last longer, reducing consumer costs
– Valuation of consumer benefit based on estimates of:• Operations modeling of TDS and TH levels delivered• Water quality improvement from Los Vaqueros• Number of households with various types of appliances and plumbing• Cost of appliances• Increased longevity due to water quality improvement
60
Consumer Water Quality Benefits
• Consumer benefit: Reduced disinfection byproducts (DBPs) delivered to consumers– Current delivered water meets all water quality
standards– Further reductions in DBPs can help meet
more stringent future standards and improve public health
– Valuation based on avoided cost of advanced water treatment to achieve the same benefits
61
Agency Water Quality Benefits
• Agency Benefit: Decreased costs for treating water– Costs decrease as bromides, turbidity, and total organic carbon
(TOC) are lowered, and temperature fluctuations are reduced (pH and algae)
• Valuation of agency benefits based on estimates of:– Water quality levels in water delivered from
Los Vaqueros– Lowered coagulant usage and ozone
demand at WTPs– Improved operations– Lowered capital/replacement costs– Lower corrosion control costs
62
Agency Water Quality Benefits
Agency Benefit: Decreased salts delivered to groundwater basins– Agency costs for managing salt balance in
groundwater basin would be reduced• Valuation of this benefit based on estimates of:
– TDS delivered by Los Vaqueros– Avoided cost of future groundwater demineralization
projects
63
Industrial Water Quality Benefits
• Industrial Benefit: Decreased salts delivered to industrial users– Lower heavy industry costs for treating boiler feed water
and cooling water – Lower manufacturing costs for ultrapure water treatment
• Valuation of industrial benefits based on estimates of:– Reduction in TDS and TH levels in water delivered from
Los Vaqueros– Volume of water used for each category of industry
64
Reliability Benefits
• Benefit: Increased reliability during dry periods• Valuation of increased reliability based on:
– Current costs of reliability supplies (e.g. transfers, Semitropic Groundwater Banking Program-Phase II, etc.)
– Department of Water Resources tool for estimating the value of supply reliability projects
– Benefit beyond 2030 capped at cost of desalination
65
Environmental Benefits
• Benefit: Reliable supply of water for environmental purposes
• Valuation of the benefit coordinated with the CALFED Common Assumptions Group, using:– Recent and projected costs of acquiring environmental
water for current conditions– Avoided cost of water management options that would
provide similar benefits after 2030– Future benefit capped at cost of desalination
66
Recreation Benefits
• Existing recreation benefits would be expanded• Valuation of recreation benefits based on estimates of:
– The value of visitor days– The number of visitor days based on existing Los Vaqueros
Reservoir and other comparable reservoir recreation usage• Recreation activities include:
• Boat fishing• Shore fishing• Picnicking• Hiking/Trail usage• Interpretive Center usage
• ADA access facilities included
67
Benefits Conclusions
• Approach will assign dollar value for each benefit– Water Quality: consumer, agency, & industrial– Reliability– Environmental Water– Recreation
• Next: Refine approach and perform analysis– Continued coordination with the CALFED Common
Assumptions Group and Bay Area water agencies
68
ConclusionsProject Requirements
• An expanded Los Vaqueros Reservoir could meet CCWD Principles #5 and #6– CCWD would retain control of the watershed and operation of
the reservoir– An expansion project would protect and reimburse the financial
investment made by the CCWD customers• The project could meet CALFED objectives
– Beneficiaries of the project would pay for the project
69
Questions and Discussion
• Benefits of an expansion project– Water Quality– Reliability– Environment
• Methods used to value benefits
