Water district fears curbs on meters could hurt growth
Sacramento Bee-7/14/09
By Cathy Locke
An annual water resources report generated less debate this year than it did when home building was at its peak in El Dorado County.
Nevertheless, El Dorado Irrigation District officials worry that current restrictions on meters available in El Dorado Hills could hinder development.
The Water Resources and Reliability Report is used to determine the number of meters available for new construction in various parts of the district in the coming year.
The district is allowed to draw 24,550 acre-feet of water from Folsom Lake, the source of water for El Dorado Hills, but it can deliver only 15,163 acre-feet because of treatment plant and pipeline capacity.
In the remainder of the district, service for new development is constrained by water supply, not infrastructure.
According to the water resources report presented Monday, the district could serve the equivalent of 3,597 new residences in El Dorado Hills and 1,315 in the rest of the district. But staff members said the meters available to the El Dorado Hills area are committed, through advance-payment contracts, to developments already approved by the county.
Director Harry Norris argued that the district needs the flexibility to serve a development project not covered by the contracts, but that could provide revenue to fund facilities needed to deliver the water.#

73.3 percent increase by 2012?
Lodi City Council to consider wastewater fees
Lodi News-Sentinel-7/10/09
By Maggie Creamer
On Wednesday night, the Lodi City Council will consider a 73.3 percent wastewater rate increase that would take a three-bedroom home's monthly sewer bill from $27.74 to $48.06 by July 2012.
Because it is a proposed utility rate increase, the city is mandated by state law to send out a notice of the recommended increase and how residents can protest it. If half of the city's property owners protest the increase, it would not go into effect. The city sent the notice out to renters as well.
As of Thursday afternoon, the city clerk's office had received 143 protest letters out of the more than 30,000 notices staff sent out.
The rate increase will partially be used to pay off $40 million in bonds for the White Slough treatment plant upgrades, Public Works Director Wally Sandelin said.
The money will also be used for operations and maintenance, and to hire new employees needed to run the upgraded plant. A 25 percent reserve will also be established in case of emergencies, like a sewer main collapsing, Sandelin said.
City staff say the increase is needed because of state-mandated upgrades. The city took out $40 million in bonds to pay for the upgrades, and the current sewer rate is not collecting enough to run the utility and pay the debt service.
Sandelin said the city's 73.3 percent increase over four years is the maximum amount the city can raise, and he will reevaluate each year to see if the rates can be lower.
Before the council meeting, the city of Lodi is offering residents an opportunity to learn about the wastewater treatment process from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
City staff will give tours of the White Slough wastewater treatment plant to show the multi-step process of passing the water through screens and ponds to separate solids from the water and to eliminate bacteria.
The water also goes through a material resembling brown shag carpet to take out fine particles and is then treated with ultraviolet light to make any remaining bacterial sterile so it cannot reproduce.#

Yuba Indian remains up levee cost
Marysville Appeal-Democrat-7/14/09
By Ben van der Meer
The discovery of American Indian artifacts along the Feather River could add more than $1 million to the cost of building new levees to protect south Yuba County homes and businesses.
Three Rivers Levee Improvement Authority directors will discuss the cultural site at a special meeting today, and could approve a contract amendment for about $453,000 with a consulting group, related to work done at the site.
Authority Executive Director Paul Brunner said discussions about the site began after a crew pulling up a walnut tree near the river last December discovered artifacts in the roots that included shells, beads and human remains.
Brunner said experts determined the artifacts likely came from ancestors of Enterprise Rancheria tribal members, whose predecessors frequently established small settlements along waterways like the Feather.
He would not identify the site's location, citing concerns over possible thieves or vandals disturbing it. Ren Reynolds, an EPA planner with Enterprise Rancheria, said authority officials and builders have to be sensitive because such sites represent settlements that go back as far as 1,000 years ago.
The site found last year, he said, may have been at one time a village of 50 to 75 tribe members.
"It's just an age-old problem, because these sites are all over the place," Reynolds said.
And state and federal law requires a measured response, according to TRLIA.
"There's a federal requirement that we have to do this," Brunner said. "I believe we've found a cost-effective approach to deal with the site."
Levee builders will widen the levee on top of the site and have a levee base on more secure ground than the cultural site itself. That widening will add about $1 million to the cost of the levee project, Brunner said.
Levee construction is funded through a combination of state and local money, with about 80 percent of the cost coming from the state of California, Brunner said.
Reynolds said tribal members will re-bury the remains before the levee is built over them.
By doing so, he said, the levee will prevent any future disturbance of the site. Tribes frequently discover looting at such sites because remains and artifacts can bring a steep price on eBay.
"There's a tremendous amount of looting that goes undiscovered," he said, adding the tribe is working with federal officials to protect other sites on the Feather and Bear rivers.
Though this site was previously unknown, TRLIA has encountered and dealt with such sites in the past, Brunner said. Crews working on the Sutter County side of the Feather have also encountered such a site, he added.
"This is not necessarily uncommon," he said.
TRLIA board member Don L. Graham said he hadn't encountered such a situation before, either on the authority's board or as a member of Reclamation District 784's board.
"It's one of those things where no one planned to have it there, but it's been there a whole lot longer than anyone else around here has," Graham said. "The appropriate thing to do is take care of it, but it will cost some coin."
Reynolds said he acknowledges the cost, but has a simple answer for those who question it: "What would you do if it was your ancestors?"#

Detention basins could solve I-80 flooding
Fairfield Daily Republic-7/13/09
By Barry Eberling
One or two Suisun Valley detention basins might help solve the periodic flooding problems at Interstate 80 in Fairfield -- but only if properly designed.
The Solano Transportation Authority Board last week voted to spend $300,000 to study the situation. Of that, $100,000 will come from the Solano County Water Agency and $200,000 from regional bridge toll money.
Among the unknowns is whether Suisun Valley property owners would allow a detention basin of a yet-to-be-determined size on their land. The study by Mark Thomas/Nolte Joint Venture is to come first.
“It's kind of a chicken-and-egg thing,” SCWA General Manager David Okita said Monday. “We need to find out if detention basins work before we go knocking on the doors of potential property owners.”
Local I-80 last flooded during the New Year's Eve storm of Dec. 31, 2005, and early January 2006. Suisun Valley received about six inches of water within four days that ended up in creeks flowing toward I-80. Water shut down the freeway near West Texas Street for almost a day and flooded dozens of homes in the area.
Water crosses under I-80 at several points, among them Suisun Creek, Ledgewood Creek, the Alanzo agricultural drain and the Rains agricultural drain. These various waterways during heavy rains can spill, with waters intermingling in a complicated pattern that the study will unravel using LIDAR light technology to create a model.
“It will show you when water leaves a creek, where it goes, where it floods,” Okita said.
Results should be available in eight to 10 months, said Dale Dennis, a consultant working on I-80 projects for the STA.
Then work can begin on making Suisun Valley detention basins a reality. Such basins possibly could be farmed during the bulk of the time they aren't needed to store floodwaters for later release after storms. More drainage space might also be built under I-80.
At least, that's one possible outcome.
“Often, we find the solutions are so expensive, they can't be implemented,” Okita said. “We're not guaranteeing there will be feasible results out of this study.”
But the study should at least determine the practicality of a detention basin idea that's been mentioned as far back as 1998, after storms caused Ledgewood Creek to flood
.
Fairfield, the state Department of Transportation and the Solano Irrigation District could also be involved with the project. The STA will approach them about signing a memorandum of understanding to help look at flooding solutions.#

A little water goes a long way
Glendale Water & Power shares information in class on conserving the precious resource.
Glendale News Press-7/13/09
By Michael J. Arvizu
Water conservation.
The very mention of it can make some people groan.
But Glendale — and the entire Southern California region — is experiencing severe drought conditions. The City Council on Aug. 4 is expected to vote on Phase II mandatory rationing for homes and businesses. Less local groundwater and fewer resources from Northern California have forced cities to restrict water usage, even implementing fines for offenders.
Water conservation is just going to have become a way of life, said Joy Gaines, resource efficiency advisor for Glendale Water & Power. But saving water can be easy, and with some instruction, people can begin saving water right away, she said.
The utility’s Water Conservation 101 class begins with an introduction to the state’s water infrastructure, offering a look into the causes of the state’s water shortage. Other features of the class include ways to read a water meter. By knowing how to correctly read their water meter, residents can monitor their weekly water usage down to the gallon.
Also, residents are taught how to read their water bill. This part of the class allows residents to make sense of the various charges included with their monthly and bimonthly water bills.
The 2 1/2 -hour classes are offered in Perkins Community Room 108 at Glendale Water & Power headquarters.
The classes also offer residents tips on how to conserve water, such as taking five-minute showers, washing only full loads of laundry, fixing leaky faucets and turning off water while brushing or shaving.
Combined, these examples can save residents thousands of gallons per year, not to mention money. Residents are also informed of the city’s free water and energy audit service, which gives residents the opportunity to save on their water and electric bills.
“Each drip that comes out of a leaky faucet is money that doesn’t come back,” said horticulturist Tim Wheeler, a Glendale Water & Power consultant who facilitates the classes. “My goal is to reduce water waste [and] just get people to use water more efficiently. It doesn’t have to be a sacrifice. What I’d really like to see people do is just use what they need.”
The first classes are being held on a testing-ground basis before the program is updated in the coming weeks, Wheeler said, pending the City Council’s vote on the recommended watering plans made by Glendale Water & Power.
“We are going to update the outdoor-water-use section of this to give you some more really good hands-on tools for managing your outdoor water,” Wheeler said. “We encourage you to give us feedback.”
Phase II water rationing will make saving water mandatory for residents and businesses. Those who violate the mandates will be at risk of receiving citations from the city, and in the most extreme cases, a flow restricter on the violator’s water service will be installed.
Some recommended water use mandates include: Residents must repair leaks within 72 hours of discovering or being notified of a leak; residents may not water, sprinkle or irrigate when the wind is blowing or on days when it is raining; residents may not water between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., and residents may water for only 10 minutes per watering station on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; city restaurants may serve water only to customers who ask for it.
There are exceptions to these rules, and Water Conservation 101 goes over them.
“Now I know exactly what the city is planning to do and what areas I can work on in my own property,” said 30-year resident Martha Busby.
Busby recalls an incident last year when her water bill skyrocketed from $200 to $600 due to a pipe in her backyard that had been leaking for months.
“From then on I knew that I better have the pipes checked, and I discovered more leaks. Now, I can check myself.”
Busby is also taking a landscape class at Glendale Community College.
“This time of year, you’re using more water because of the outdoor watering,” said 25-year resident Bernard Schnipper, who attended with his wife, Barbara.
The couple pride themselves on their responsible water use, he said, but didn’t know they were being charged administrative costs.
“I am very careful about my bill,” Barbara said. “I like to know what I’m paying for, and how I can conserve and pay less.”
One of the biggest concerns, Wheeler said, is residents over-irrigating.
“That’s probably the easiest place to start saving water,” he said. “And the place that they will notice the least lifestyle change.”
Watering less, Wheeler said, can improve the landscape.#

Oroville whitewater park options narrowed
Oroville Mercury-Register-7/14/09
By Mary Weston
Potential sites for an Oroville whitewater rafting park have been narrowed to three locations, and the Department of Water Resources will do a feasibility study of the options.
As part of the effort toward relicensing the electric generation facilities at the Oroville Dam, DWR agreed to provide recreation funds to the area, including do a feasibility study for a whitewater rafting park.
The committee overseeing the spending of the money compiled a list of about a dozen locations for a rafting park. That list has now been narrowed to three along the Feather River: Riverbend Canyon, Bedrock Park and from the Diversion Pool to the Fish Barrier.
Riverbend Canyon sits in a secluded area west of Highway 70, below the bluffs and across from Riverbend Park.
The committee highly recommended this site because it offered slope, natural setting, visibility from Highway 70 and geographic features that would accommodate pools.
Sue Corkin of the committee said they hiked into this area and found a beautiful setting for a park. The site also had the best potential for avoiding environmental issues with an outside-the-river venue.
The Bedrock Park site would be in the park side of the river to east of the Highway 70 bridge. This site offered a smaller, family-oriented park.
The Diversion Dam to the Fish Barrier site is on the northwest side of the river and also offers adequate slope and access to the water.
Concerns included the site being inside the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's project boundaries, sensitive Native American sites and limited access and visibility.
DWR will develop feasibility studies for each location, said Bill Cochran of the DWR Oroville Division.
Bob Marciniak, coordinator for the committee, said the DWR study will come back at an Oct. 7 meeting.#

Southwest County families certified as 'water-wise'
They earn citations for replacing lawns with climate-friendly plants and trees
North County Times-7/12/09
By Jeff Rowe
Three Southwest County families recently were rewarded for yanking out their grass lawns, planting new things and reducing their yard watering to a trickle.
Each won up to $1,250 for creating and installing gardens composed of California-friendly vegetation.
Southwest County's Mediterranean climate ---- warm dry summers and cool winters with light rain ---- requires that grasses that thrive in wetter eastern climates be maintained on regular irrigation life support here. In the non-drought, smaller population, "pre-environmental issues with imported water" era, lavishing water on a lawn was acceptable.
Not now.
Because supplies from Northern California have been reduced, water available to Southern California also has been cut. To cope, local water districts have created tiered rate structures that can make it more expensive to maintain thirsty, temperate-climate lawns, bushes and trees.
And the districts have launched incentive programs to encourage people to change their water consumption habits.
Western Municipal Water District, Eastern Municipal Water District, Rancho California Water District and other districts recently collaborated to hold a contest. It drew 97 entries.
Winners included three families from Southwest County:
-- Mariah Ho created three distinct gardens at the house in Menifee she shares with her husband and children. A courtyard in the front of the house framed by almond, lemon, sweet bay and other trees and bushes gives the house a strikingly different appearance from the other houses on the block, which are planted in traditional grass.
Along the side of the house, a trail through angels trumpet, chaste, black bamboo and other trees and vines feels like a mini-forest, emerging into the backyard planted with pineapple guava, butterfly bush, lantana and other Mediterranean-climate plants.
In creating water miserly gardens, Ho said that the most important move is to shade or cover open ground with bark or some other cover. That reduces evaporation from the soil and further conserves water.
Ho spent about $2,600 on plants, stones and other materials for her gardens.
As did other winners, she talks passionately about shepherding scarce resources.
"It's our responsibility to be stewards of this land," she said.
She uses no fertilizers or chemical pesticides and her gardens attract ducks from the adjacent golf course and many other birds and insects, which allows Ho to teach her sons lessons about caring for the earth and its plans and creatures. To her young sons, she says "look, but do not disturb or harm."
-- Maryanne and Bob Johnson hired a landscape architect and spent about $8,500 designing and planting their front-yard gardens, a dense mix of trees and bushes, including an olive tree, sages and rosemary.
A clearing paved with stone gives them a shady, cool place to sit outside, even on hot days.
Their water bill has declined 70 percent, Bob Johnson said, and the garden attracts birds, lizards and insects that delight their children.
"We truly believe in conservation," said Maryanne Johnson, who said the family doesn't use any air conditioning in the house, relying instead on solar screens on the windows, awnings and ceiling fans to keep the house cool. And they shun pesticides, using ladybugs, for example to control aphids, which eat roses and other plants.
-- Bill Silverthorn landscaped his custom house in Wine Country with at least 30 different types of plants, including a Japanese maple tree, hotlips, salvia (sage) and manzanita. All of the estimated 150 plants are on drip irrigation, which gives them about 2 gallons of water a week. He spent about $1,500 on the project.
Mulch obtained for free from tree trimmers is used in his backyard vegetable garden and on an acre of grapefruit trees, which produces fruit that he sells.
Because the Silverthorn's house is on a slope, he created a rock-lined dry wash to channel the water away when it rains. On the kitchen side of the house, scents from the birch, crepe myrtle and fruit trees waft into the house, delighting his wife, Debbie.#
City enters third year without dock
Napa Valley register-7/14/09
By Kevin Courtney
Downtown Napa’s rebirth as a water-oriented destination awaits one essential feature: a dock.
For the third year, downtown Napa is without a dock where power boats can tie up and recreationists can launch canoes and kayaks.
The old dock, off Main Street at the foot of Fourth Street, was removed in 2006 so that construction could begin on a $25 million flood wall and promenade running the length of the downtown riverfront.
The flood work, funded by the federal government, was essentially completed a year ago, but the city has yet to replace the dock.
Considered too small, the old dock was sold off, said Robin Klingbeil, a city redevelopment official. The city is planning one twice the size, but doesn’t yet have the money to pay for it, she said.
Having a dockless downtown deters people who would like to visit by water. “It certainly hurts business,” said Kevin Trzcinski, owner of Napa River Adventures, a recreational boating company, who must launch several miles south at Kennedy Park.
“Boaters are an absolute boon to downtown merchants,” said Clay Parker, commodore of the Napa Valley Yacht Club, which has facilities on Riverside Drive south of downtown. But without a public dock, many boat owners are cruising elsewhere, he said.
The nearest public dock is at Kennedy Park, south of Napa Valley College, but this site is essentially “useless” for people wanting to paddle downtown under their own power, Parker said.
A kayaker who has to fight wind or tide or both has a stiff challenge trying to get to and from downtown from Kennedy, he said.
Trzcinski said he is able to show customers views of downtown from the river, but letting them off so they can enjoy themselves on shore is another story.
The city intends to replace the old 110-foot wooden dock with a concrete platform 226 feet long, Cassandra Walker, the city’s redevelopment manager, said.
By doubling the size of the dock, the city will be better able to accommodate the full range of people who would like to use the river, she said.
The new dock, which will stay in the water year-around, floating high on piles during floods, is estimated to cost $600,000, Klingbeil said. The full cost is closer to $1 million when the expense of renting a construction site, construction management and contingency fees are figured in, she said.
The city applied for a half-million-dollar federal boating grant last fall, offering to contribute $425,000 in local redevelopment funds to the project, Klingbeil said.
Only two grants were awarded in California, both to cities that offered a much higher local match, she said.
Napa will apply again this fall for federal money. If the city is rejected a second time, Napa will dip into other pots of money to fully fund the dock on its own, Walker said.
Local general fund money would not be used for the dock, Klingbeil said Monday.
Why the near $1 million price tag? The new dock will not only be twice as long, but made of more durable materials, with a gangway that meets the handicapped access requirements, Walker said.
The dock will have security lights. The gangway will be removed during flood threats, not all winter as was the case with the old dock, Klingbeil said.
Because there is no room to build the dock on location, it will have to be fabricated off-site and barged in, adding to the cost, she said.
As part of the project, the river will have to be dredged at the foot of Fourth Street to make the dock usable for larger boats, she added.
The city is awaiting hydrological analysis of the proposed dock by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, sponsor of the flood control project, Walker said.
Once the dock has the corps’ OK, the city will need to get approval from the state Department of Fish and Game and the Regional Water Quality Control Board, she said.
Downtown should have a working dock by next summer, Walker said. By then, the adjacent Riverfront mixed-use project is likely to have stores and restaurants, making the promenade at Fourth Street a busy place, Walker said.
With no businesses planned to open in the Riverfront this summer, the demand for the dock would be diminished, Walker said. The city has aspirations to attract boaters, but “we’re just not there yet,” she said.#

County supervisor Mark Stone spends at least 13 hours in the English Channel
Santa Cruz Sentinel-7/14/09
By Jondi Gumz
After 13 hours of swimming the English Channel, County Supervisor Mark Stone came close to the shore north of Wissant, France, northeast of his intended destination, Cap Gris-Nez, according to the GPS device tracking his progress.
Stone, 52, got in the water around 7 a.m. Pacific time -- just before 3 p.m. local time -- and swam part of the 21-mile channel in the dark, according to reports from the support crew that is accompanying him by boat.
The swim in 59-degree water can be stretched to 30-plus miles when tides are factored in. Before he left for England. Stone estimated the swim would take 12-14 hours.
Before he got into the water Monday morning, Stone reported the "seas are about 1 ft and hopefully calming. Wind with tide," on his Facebook page. Intermittent progress reports are being posted there.
The last entry for the channel swim posted at 7:15 p.m. Pacific time on Twitter reported: "We can smell Calais. Newly turned soil and baking bread. But we're still an hour away."
Stone's GPS tracking device links to a Web site and shows the course he's cutting through the jelly fish-infested waters, which looked like a large capital L. The last point recorded by GPS was at 8:15 p.m. There was no online report late Monday on whether Stone actually arrived on the French shore, though the last point appeared very close to shore.
Stone has been planning this event for more than two years. He was scheduled to attempt the channel swim any time this week -- he was the first in a long queue of swimmers slated to attempt the crossing this week. That meant he had first choice when it comes to picking the day and conditions of his swim.
As late as Sunday night, Stone posted updates saying he was concerned about stormy weather conditions, but skies had cleared up by Monday afternoon and he was able to take off from the rocky shores of Dover, England.
The success rate for those attempting the crossing is reported to be about 10 percent.#
Thousand Oaks sailor reaches U.S. territory
Sailor on course for Thursday return
Ventura County Star-7/14/09
Zac Sunderland arrived back into U.S. waters early Monday, the last leg of his globe-circling trip.
If all goes well, Sunderland, 17, of Thousands Oak will sail into history when he arrives at Marina del Rey on Thursday morning and becomes the youngest person ever to sail around the world alone.
He’s already thinking about his next adventure.
“It’s all but over right now,” Sunderland told the Associated Press late Monday morning. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat. It’s been an amazing year. Tons of fun, lots of great stuff.”
He’s due in Marina del Rey at 10 a.m. Thursday, 13 months and two days after he left from there.
Sunderland pulled into San Diego overnight Sunday aboard his 36-foot boat, the Intrepid, and cleared customs. “It’s good, I’m in,” he said, although he had to get his engine repaired. He uses it for going into and out of ports, and in case of emergencies. “It doesn’t really matter, but I’d rather not get towed into the harbor that you finish in,” he said with a laugh.
Sunderland was under way again by early Monday afternoon. He plans to pull into a small harbor between San Diego and Marina del Rey for a day or two so he can perfectly time his arrival.
Sunderland was 16 when he left Marina Del Rey on June 14, 2008. His total trip is estimated at 28,000 miles. “A big circle,” he said.
Along the way, he encountered a boat of suspected pirates and severe storm damage. He also had a few enjoyable times, such as surfing while waiting for his boat to be repaired on an island in the Indian Ocean.
“I don’t know what to think right now,” he said. “It’s kind of crazy with this whole yearlong endeavor drawing to a close. It’ll be awesome to see my friends, have a little bit of summer left.”
He was met in San Diego by his father, Laurence, a younger brother and a friend who brought “a massive hunk of chocolate cake. It was probably a foot-and-a-half long. We gorged on that, got room service. We had a good night.”
Sunderland’s progress up the Mexican coast was slowed by wind, currents and a cracked bulkhead that forced him into port for repairs. His father is a shipwright and has met him at various stops around the world.
Sunderland turns 18 on Nov. 29. The record for the youngest solo circumnavigation is held by an Australian who was 18 years, 41 days when he completed his voyage in 1996.
Also trying for the record is 17-year-old British sailor Mike Perham, who is a few months younger than Sunderland and sailing a bigger, faster boat.
Sunderland said he’d now like to climb Mount Everest. “I love adventure,” he said. “I want to do some more research on it, see if I can make that happen and see if I can do it without a guide.”#
