<br />7A - ATTACHMENT NO.3 <br />Saltworks Proposal- Water Group Summary Report (22 January 2010) Page 54 <br /> <br />. The increase in deliveries from the California Aqueduct to the intermediary <br />agency would be offset by a reduction in deliveries of SWP Table A water to <br />KCW A. Net exports from the Delta would not change. <br /> <br />. Net deliveries to Redwood City would increase. This water would be <br />available to the City to serve the Saltworks project. Depending on the terms <br />of the agreement, water may be available for other purposes as well. <br /> <br />. Net deliveries to KCWA would be reduced. This reduction, however, would <br />be analogous to the reduction in deliveries to KCWA that was approved in <br />2000-2001, that presumably occurred from 2002 through 2008, and that <br />resulted from the one-time sale of 2,000 acre-feet to SCVWD in 2009. <br /> <br />Implementation of this scenario is premised on the willingness of the retail water <br />purveyor (i.e., the intermediary agency or agencies) to enter into an agreement. <br />Presumably, the intermediary agency would enter into such an agreement only if, as a <br />result, it increased the amount, reliability and/or quality of its water supplies, or otherwise <br />received adequate compensation for entering into an agreement to perform this function. <br />The nature or extent of this compensation would be a matter to be negotiated by OMS <br />and the intermediary agency in the event the Saltworks proposal goes forward. <br /> <br />A similar negotiation would occur with respect to any other agency required to approve <br />such an agreement (including Redwood City itself). <br /> <br />The amount of available Nickel water - 8,393 AFY - is sufficient to meet the needs of <br />the Saltworks project (see Table 7). The fact that OMS owns 8,393 AFY of Nickel water <br />does not mean that all of this water would be made available to serve the Saltworks <br />project. Table 7 shows, however, that there is sufficient Nickel water to meet the <br />demand of the Saltworks project. The exact amount of Nickel water committed would be <br />a matter of negotiations between OMS, Redwood City, and other agencies involved in <br />the transactions necessary to accomplish the transfer. <br /> <br />Table 7: Adequacy of Nickel Water to Meet Saltworks Potable Supply <br /> Quantity (AFY) <br />Reported Amount of Nickel Water Available 8,393 <br />Minimum Additional Potable Supply Needed for Saltworksa 1,296 <br />Excess Nickel Water Available after Saltworks Demand Met 7,097 <br />a From Table 1 <br /> <br />Specific details regarding such an agreement have not been identified. The agencies <br />involved could not approve such an agreement until after an EIR is certified for the <br />Saltworks project. <br /> <br />47 <br />
