CC 2016-03-22_09j Revised Scope_SSLOCSD Recycled Water Study
MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TERESA MCCLISH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A REVISED SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE
SOUTH SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
RECYCLED WATER PLANNING FACILITIES STUDY
DATE: MARCH 22, 2016
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a revised scope of work for the South
San Luis Obispo County Sanitary District (SSLOCSD) recycled water planning facilities
study (RWPFS).
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
Expenditures associated with the City’s participation to match grant funds for the Water
Recycling Facilities Planning Grant from the State Water Resources Control Board with
the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District (SSLOCSD) include $40,877 and
are budgeted in the Water Fund. The revised scope of work does not impact the budget
for the project. Staff resources will continue to be required for participation in ongoing
regional efforts. Addressing water supply is one of the City’s priorities identified in the
Critical Needs Action Plan.
BACKGROUND:
In 2014, the Council directed staff to pursue the following goals:
Meet the City’s future projected water demand of its buildout population by:
Meeting the reduction in per capita use as prescribed in the Water
Conservation Act of 2009;
Proceeding with work necessary to develop a recycled water project
that can be used to prevent seawater intrusion in order to provide long-
range protection of the City’s groundwater supply; and
Ensure water use efficiency and drought protection through regional
conjunctive use, storage and management of surface and groundwater
supplies.
Additionally, in 2014, the Council supported the NCMA Technical Group’s Strategic Plan
that provides a framework for identifying common water resource planning goals and
objectives and to establish a 10-year work plan for implementation of those efforts,
including pursuing recycled water options.
In November 2014, the Regional Recycled Water Strategic Plan (RRWSP) was
completed that was one component of an update to the SLO Integrated Regional Water
Management Plan (IRWMP), and was funded by a Round 2 IRWM Regional Planning

Grant from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) (See Attachment 1 for
the Executive Study). According to the study, the SSLOCSD has the largest volume of
effluent considered in the RRWSP and the largest opportunities for large-scale reuse;
however, landscape irrigation projects are expensive ($3,000+/af) and the more cost
effective reuse opportunities – agricultural irrigation, industrial reuse, groundwater
recharge, seawater intrusion barrier, and surface water augmentation –require
institutional, legal, outreach, and financial planning to be feasible.
In May of 2015, an Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) Plan planning grant
funded a groundwater basin characterization study of the Santa Maria Groundwater
Basin. The objectives of the overall study were to compile previous studies and data,
develop a lithologic database and prepare geologic cross-sections, perform and analyze
pumping tests, and evaluate several key hydrogeologic issues for the study area. It is
primarily intended to be a basis for future studies related to a Salt and Nutrient
Management Plan and the development of a numerical groundwater model.
Also in 2015, two specific recycled water studies have indicated potential regional
projects. The first is the City of Pismo Beach’s recently completed Recycled Water
Facilities Planning Study. The second is the SSLOCSD/City of Arroyo Grande grant
funded study evaluating a Satellite Water Resource Recovery Facility (SWRRF),
potentially located along one of the upstream trunk lines that conveys Arroyo Grande’s
wastewater to the regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The State Water Resources
Control Board is funding approximately 50% of the project cost ($75,000) with the
remaining costs split evenly between the SSLOCSD and the City of Arroyo Grande.
On June 23, 2015, the Council directed staff to continue collaboration and participation
in each of the regional recycled water projects.
In November 2015, the Council heard a status report on both of the recycled water
project efforts. The City of Pismo Beach has split their project into phases including
preparation of the necessary environmental documents and preliminary design for an
on-site and off-site Regional Groundwater Sustainability (RGS) Program using water
from their waste water treatment plan. To aid in developing regional partnerships, the
City of Pismo Beach held a regional stakeholder meeting with neighboring agencies to
begin developing a framework for the project that will provide equitable water supply
benefit for all of the participants.
For the SSLOCSD/AG project, the first task was an Investment Analysis intended to
determine the economic feasibility of the proposed SWRRF. The Investment Analysis
Technical Memorandum (TM) identified possible SWWRF treatment and beneficial
reuse alternatives with corresponding cost estimates and potential costs savings for the
District’s Wastewater Treatment Plant Redundancy Project and included comparisons
against other potential supplemental water supply alternatives. Based on the results of

the Investment Analysis and the competiveness of the SWRRF alternatives with other
potential supplemental supplies, the Council recommended an alternative to evaluate
the construction of an offsite tertiary or advanced water treatment facility close to the
WWTP that could treat its effluent for use as agriculture irrigation or groundwater
recharge. This facility could be located outside of the Coastal Zone, Tsunami Inundation
Zone and the Arroyo Grande Creek 100-YR Flood Plain, but could take advantage of
the existing primary and secondary treatment facilities at the WWTP. Additionally, this
facility could be potentially expanded to receive effluent from the Pismo Beach WWTP
and realize potential unit costs savings associated with larger capacity facilities.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
At the request of SSLOCSD and the City Council, Water Systems Consulting (WSC)
prepared the attached updated scope of work to utilize the remaining grant funding to
evaluate the potential for two possible recycled water alternatives. These alternatives
include: upgrades at the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to provide water
for agriculture irrigation and/or groundwater recharge; and construction of an off-site
Advanced Treatment Facility to provide water for groundwater recharge.
According to the State Water Board, as long as a recycled water study was pursued,
there would be no need to amend the grant application. The updated scope of work
provides the District and the City with an engineering and economic evaluation of the
potential for advanced treatment upgrades at the existing WWTP and at an offsite
location. The findings from this analysis and along with input received from the Coastal
Commission will provide the District and the City with the necessary information to help
identify the preferred alternative for a future recycled water program. The revised scope
will also aid in discussions relating to the Pismo project that has also been recently re-
scoped to consider an offsite alternative. Considerations of offsite alternatives, which
provide the potential for a regional facility, have been incorporated into each study to
allow for continued collaboration amongst the participating agencies and the
identification of the optimal recycled water solution for the region.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Approve participation with a revised scope for the South San Luis Obispo
County Sanitary District (SSLOCSD) recycled water project;
2. Provide staff other direction.
ADVANTAGES:
The recycled water projects are potentially viable options to protecting and augmenting
existing water supplies.

SSLOCSD RECYCLED WATER FACILITIES PLANNING STUDY RE-SCOPING
The following is an updated scope of work, fee, and schedule for the South San Luis Obispo County
Sanitation District (SSLOCSD) Recycled Water Facilities Planning Study (RWFPS). The original scope of
work, developed by the SSLOCSD and the City of Arroyo Grande (City), evaluated potential opportunities
for a Satellite Water Resource Recovery Facility (SWWRF) including an Investment Analysis (i.e. a
preliminary evaluation) of the SWRRF concept. The Investment Analysis determined that the SWRRF
concept was not cost effective and consequently the SSLOCSD and the City requested that the remaining
budget for the RWFPS be utilized to evaluate alternate recycled water options.
At the request of the SSLOCSD and the City, WSC prepared the following updated scope of work to
utilize remaining grant funding to evaluate the potential for two prospective recycled water alternatives.
These alternatives include: Advanced Treatment Facility upgrades at the existing SSLOCSD Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) to provide water for agriculture irrigation and/or groundwater recharge; and
an Offsite Advanced Treatment Facility to treat secondary effluent from the SSLOCSD WWTP and
provide additional water to recharge the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin.
Re-scoping the RWFPS to include these two alternatives will allow the SSLOCSD and the City to evaluate
the potential for advanced treatment upgrades at both the existing WWTP and at an offsite location.
This analysis, combined with anticipated feedback from permitting agencies (the Coastal Commission,
the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and other regulatory agencies) regarding the
SSLOCSD’s ability to obtain permits for infrastructure upgrades at the existing WWTP, will help the
SSLOCSD and its member agencies (i.e. City of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and the Oceano Community
Services District) identify the best path forward for developing a SSLOCSD recycled water program to
improve water supply reliability for Southern San Luis Obispo County.
