<br />7A - ATTACHMENT NO.3 <br />Saltworks Proposal- Water Group Summary Report (22 January 2010) Page 64 <br /> <br />participating agencies. The proposal is complex, is likely to be controversial, <br />and faces a number of hurdles. In particular, the participation and approval of <br />other public agencies cannot be assured. Nonetheless, the proposal appears <br />to be potentially feasible. The water team regards Nickel water as an asset <br />that could potentially diversify the City's water supply portfolio. <br /> <br />Non-Dotable SUDDlies <br /> <br />. Recycled water - Recycled water is the most reliable supply source for all the <br />identified non-potable demands at the Saltworks project. The City can meet <br />the recycled water demands from its recycled water system. Onsite facilities <br />at the Saltworks project would also be required. <br /> <br />. Rainwater and graywater - The water team finds these unreliable supply <br />sources for the project. While OMS may opt to develop and use these, due to <br />their lack of reliability as predictable and sustainable supply sources, they <br />cannot be counted on as supply for purposes of meeting project demand. <br /> <br />The water team concludes that the Saltworks project has feasible options for potable <br />and non-potable water supply that meet or exceed the project's demand. <br /> <br />Policy Issues Related to Supply <br /> <br />The following issues would need to be addressed by the City to implement the project: <br /> <br />. Neither the 2005 UWMP nor General Plan include the project water supply. <br />Amendments or updates to these key documents would be required. <br /> <br />. The project will require a SS 610 WSA and CEQA analysis. <br /> <br />. For recycled water to be used, administrative actions such as approval of an <br />Engineer's Report and amendment of the City's permits from the RWQCS and <br />COPH would be necessary. <br /> <br />. For groundwater to be used substantial, additional study would be required to <br />establish reliable yield and potential impacts of pumping. <br /> <br />. If graywater systems or rainwater catchment systems are allowed, the City would <br />need to maintain fulfill its responsibility for permitting, inspecting, monitoring, and <br />backflow prevention for these systems indefinitely. <br /> <br />. If offset projects within the City are a supply source, negotiated agreements with <br />each end user will be required; regional offset projects outside the City service <br />area would also require negotiated agreements with the SFPUC customer(s) and <br />the SFPUC, and could require project-specific CEQA review. <br /> <br />. If the OMS proposed surface water transfer is the supply source, numerous <br />actions would be triggered. Specific next step actions will depend on the results <br />of elevating the contact level with the SFPUC, other key agencies, and OMS to <br />identify potential contract issues. <br /> <br />57 <br />
