[Name_F] [Name_L][Organization][Address][City], CA [ZipCode] Dear [Title] [Name_L]:

California Water Service (Cal Water) is committed to providing safe, reliable, and high-quality water utility service in our Selma service area. At Cal Water, one of our top priorities is ensuring that our customers have a sustainable supply of water for decades to come.

With that in mind, we wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that we are updating our Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for this service area. This UWMP is reviewed and updated every five years pursuant to the Urban Water Management Plan Act, and will be completed by July 1, 2016. Our UWMP is a foundational document that supports our long-term water resource planning to ensure our customers have adequate water supplies to meet current and future demands.

Proposed revisions to our 2010 UWMP will be made available for public review, and we will be holding a public hearing, during which the updates for the 2015 UWMP will be discussed. The draft 2015 UWMP and the date, time and location of the public hearing will be available on our web site in a few weeks at www.calwater.com/conservation/uwmp. A hard copy of the draft UWMP will also be available at our Selma Customer Center located at 2042 Second Street, Selma, CA 93662. If you have any questions about the UWMP for this service area, please contact Michael Bolzowski, Cal Water Senior Engineer, at (408) 367-8338 or e-mail [email protected].

Sincerely,

Scott WagnerDirector of Capital Planning & Water Resources

Dear Mr. Grey,

Pursuant to California Water Code, Division 6, Part 2.6, Sections 10610 through 10656, California Water Service is in theprocess of preparing the required 2015 update of our Urban Water Management Plans. These plans are required to beupdated every five (5) years for each of our services areas (Districts). As you know our Selma District provides waterservice to the City of Selma.

The purpose of this communication is to solicit your assistance in reviewing and advising us with respect to one of thekey elements of the plan, which is the development of a growth forecast for our district. This growth forecast isconducted based on growth in each customer service classification applicable to a particular district, which typicallyinclude:

• Single family residential

• Multi-family residential

• Commercial

• Industrial

• Government (City or County parks, median strips, landscaping and schools)

• Dedicated Irrigation (rare)

• Other (temporary construction meters)

The forecasted growth rates are combined with a demand per service factor applicable to each customer class todetermine the future water demands for the district. These growth factors are adjustable and we want to review themwith you so that we are consistent with anticipated growth that your planning efforts forecast. If adjustments arenecessary we can do them now and avoid conflicts and confusion later in this process.

Some specific information regarding our approach to forecasting customer service growth is detailed as follows:

• Residential – Typically two residential customer service categories represent the vast majority of theservice counts as well as subsequent water sales or demand in our districts. Cal Water considers bothsingle family and multi-family residential services independently as individual classes, but combinesthem together in order to assess population growth and housing unit growth. While we use historicaltrends in the establishment for the growth rates for these two customer classes, we also analyze censusdata for population and housing factors and compare our forecast results for these two parameters with

available data from City General Plans, as well as County Economic Forecast data and Regionalgovernment association forecasts as a reality or appropriateness check of our results.

• Commercial & Industrial – Historical trend is a key influence in this customer class, however where wehave seen negative trends in recent years for these categories due to the economic downturn, wetypically employ either a zero rate of growth or a small, reasonable positive rate of growth. We havealso undertaken during the last ten years some reassessment of customer service classifications that hasresulted in reallocation of some customer service accounts between various classes. This reallocation,which included commercial, industrial, multi-family residential and in some cases government services,has made the analysis of growth a bit more difficult.

• Government – Growth trends are generally parallel to that of the residential sector, so we verify thatour rate of grow is not dramatically out-of-sequence with the overall community.

• Other – The use of temporary-assigned construction meters varies considerably from year to year, andcan represent considerable water demand. In this case, we select a growth rate that is stable, yetreflects the overall growth of the community.

We have included with this communication a set of tables and graphs (see attachment) that illustrate the parametersthat influence the growth forecast as currently set up for this district. These include:

A. The historical and projected service data in both graph and table formB. The 2000 and 2010 Census data for the districts service areaC. Housing projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsD. Population projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsE. Table of population and housing values along with multi-family residential unit density and persons per housing

unit density that are employed in this forecast effort.

Please note that the 2015 data, which we need to include in our finished forecast, is not yet final, and some minorfluctuation of these values is possible.

Please examine these documents to determine if you concur with our forecasted housing and population numbers. Itwould be greatly appreciated if you could, by September 11, 2015, provide us with an indication of your support or inthe case you do not agree with our forecast a reason why and the appropriate rate or growth pattern that we shouldemploy. If I do not hear back from you by the end of business (EOB) on the above date I will assume that you concurwith our forecast.

If you need a more detailed explanation of these numbers or want to review them with us please feel free to contact meat (408) 367-8340 or by email at [email protected].

Thank you for your assistance in this effort.

Respectfully,

Dear Mr. Weaver,

Pursuant to California Water Code, Division 6, Part 2.6, Sections 10610 through 10656, California Water Service is in theprocess of preparing the required 2015 update of our Urban Water Management Plans. These plans are required to beupdated every five (5) years for each of our services areas (Districts). As you know our Selma District provides waterservice to the County of Fresno.

The purpose of this communication is to solicit your assistance in reviewing and advising us with respect to one of thekey elements of the plan, which is the development of a growth forecast for our district. This growth forecast isconducted based on growth in each customer service classification applicable to a particular district, which typicallyinclude:

• Single family residential

• Multi-family residential

• Commercial

• Industrial

• Government (City or County parks, median strips, landscaping and schools)

• Dedicated Irrigation (rare)

• Other (temporary construction meters)

The forecasted growth rates are combined with a demand per service factor applicable to each customer class todetermine the future water demands for the district. These growth factors are adjustable and we want to review themwith you so that we are consistent with anticipated growth that your planning efforts forecast. If adjustments arenecessary we can do them now and avoid conflicts and confusion later in this process.

Some specific information regarding our approach to forecasting customer service growth is detailed as follows:

• Residential – Typically two residential customer service categories represent the vast majority of theservice counts as well as subsequent water sales or demand in our districts. Cal Water considers bothsingle family and multi-family residential services independently as individual classes, but combinesthem together in order to assess population growth and housing unit growth. While we use historicaltrends in the establishment for the growth rates for these two customer classes, we also analyze censusdata for population and housing factors and compare our forecast results for these two parameters with

available data from City General Plans, as well as County Economic Forecast data and Regionalgovernment association forecasts as a reality or appropriateness check of our results.

• Commercial & Industrial – Historical trend is a key influence in this customer class, however where wehave seen negative trends in recent years for these categories due to the economic downturn, wetypically employ either a zero rate of growth or a small, reasonable positive rate of growth. We havealso undertaken during the last ten years some reassessment of customer service classifications that hasresulted in reallocation of some customer service accounts between various classes. This reallocation,which included commercial, industrial, multi-family residential and in some cases government services,has made the analysis of growth a bit more difficult.

• Government – Growth trends are generally parallel to that of the residential sector, so we verify thatour rate of grow is not dramatically out-of-sequence with the overall community.

• Other – The use of temporary-assigned construction meters varies considerably from year to year, andcan represent considerable water demand. In this case, we select a growth rate that is stable, yetreflects the overall growth of the community.

We have included with this communication a set of tables and graphs (see attachment) that illustrate the parametersthat influence the growth forecast as currently set up for this district. These include:

A. The historical and projected service data in both graph and table formB. The 2000 and 2010 Census data for the districts service areaC. Housing projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsD. Population projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsE. Table of population and housing values along with multi-family residential unit density and persons per housing

unit density that are employed in this forecast effort.

Please note that the 2015 data, which we need to include in our finished forecast, is not yet final, and some minorfluctuation of these values is possible.

Please examine these documents to determine if you concur with our forecasted housing and population numbers. Itwould be greatly appreciated if you could, by September 11, 2015, provide us with an indication of your support or inthe case you do not agree with our forecast a reason why and the appropriate rate or growth pattern that we shouldemploy. If I do not hear back from you by the end of business (EOB) on the above date I will assume that you concurwith our forecast.

If you need a more detailed explanation of these numbers or want to review them with us please feel free to contact meat (408) 367-8340 or by email at [email protected].

Thank you for your assistance in this effort.

Respectfully,

Thomas A. SalzanoThomas A. SalzanoWater Resource Planning Supervisor

Re: Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration

2015 – 2023 Housing Element for Selma

Comments and Concerns of California Water Service Company

Dear Mr. Brown –

California Water Service Company (Cal Water) has reviewed the above-referenced

housing development plan(s) provided to our office on December 17, 2015. Please

allow this correspondence to subsequently document a number of our concerns

associated with this development, consistent with the instructions provided in your

original transmittal letter (and in consideration of the comment period extension to

February 6, 2016).

Our review considered the main environmental factors cited on Page 19 of the Housing

Element Study (“Determination”). Of these factors or dimensions, Cal Water’s principal

concerns revolve around the following items:

• Hydrology and Water Quality (water supply);

• Population and Housing (forecasted water demand);

• Traffic and Transportation;

• Utilities and Other Service Systems;

Of note is that some of these concerns, especially as they link to water supply and

demand, have been documented in connection with Water Supply Assessments

conducted in past years. Each of these principal concerns is discussed in the subsections

below.

Hydrology and Water Quality (Water Supply)

Cal Water currently, and for at least the next 25 years, anticipates meeting forecasted

water demand by using groundwater extracted from the Kings River fan aquifers that

underlie the Selma District. The Kings River fan is in the Fresno County sub-area of the

Tulare Lake Hydrologic Region. This formation is, and has been, the sole source of water

furnished to customers in the Selma District. Groundwater is currently extracted by

thirteen (13) active wells located throughout the District service area, while four (4)

other wells are currently inactive or non-operational. Cal Water plans to provide

additional wells to increase supply capacity as needed in order to continuously maintain

compliance with various water system regulatory codes (more specifically, Title 22 of

the California Water Works Code, and General Order 103-A, promulgated by the

California Public Utilities Commission). That being said, numerous current and historical

issues (of various magnitudes) affect the basin relative to local water supply and water

quality. These factors are of concern to Cal Water, particularly given the uncertainty of

regulatory expectations surrounding drought response, water conservation, water

quality, and the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Some background

information that underscores Cal Water’s concern(s) in this vein is highlighted in the

following subsections.

Groundwater Basin Management and Response

The Consolidated Irrigation District (CID, est. 1921) manages the groundwater basin

from which water for the Selma District is pumped. The District is located mainly in

Fresno County and small portions of Kings and Tulare Counties. In 1995, the total

irrigable acreage in the District was 145,000 acres, of which 92,000 acres are capable of

receiving surface waters from the Kings River. The balance (53,000 acres) obtains its

water supply solely from groundwater. In drought years, District irrigators have the

capability of pumping groundwater to meet their irrigation needs. The District does not

own or operate any of the approximately 4,500 irrigation wells in the area.

CID’s water delivery system is comprised of about 350 miles of open channels including

ditches, natural drains and sloughs. There are many lateral pipelines and piped portions

Page 32: $SSHQGL[ & &RUUHVSRQGHQFHV · 2017. 5. 26. · Attachments: Letter to City Planning Officials - Attachmet - SEL.pdf TTrraacckkining: Recipient Delivery 'Ken Grey (keng@cityofselma.com)

Page 3 of 7

of the main channel. In addition to gravity surface water deliveries, CID recharges

groundwater in the underlying basin through seepage from its channels and through

dedicated recharge or spreading basins. The effectiveness of these recharge programs

varies from year-to-year, ranging from about 180,000 acre-feet during dry/drought

years, up to about 300,000 acre-feet per year during wet periods. Despite these

recharge activities, CID’s 1995 Groundwater Management Plan, reported that

groundwater levels in the basin underlying CID, have been gradually declining over a

period of 50 to 60 years, with the estimated annual overdraft being about 53,000 acre-

feet per year. This is based on monthly monitoring data acquired from 82 wells in a two

square-mile grid.

Measurements conducted by Cal Water of static groundwater elevations in Selma

district wells show water levels have been relatively constant for the past thirty-five

years (the current drought excepted). There have been short periods where

groundwater elevations declined more rapidly and then recovered during periods of

above normal precipitation. In the Selma District, the combination of increased demand

due to growth coupled with the late 1980s multi-year drought, which greatly reduced

availability of surface water for aquifer recharge, resulted in a 45-foot decline in static

groundwater elevation. However, high levels of rainfall and storm runoff in the early

1990s enabled CID to supply more surface irrigation water and increase the amount of

groundwater recharged. As a result, the average static water level in Cal Water’s Selma

wells rose to within ten feet of pre-drought elevations.

One of CID’s major means to reduce over-pumping of groundwater is through a

conjunctive use program involving direct use of surface waters, active recharge of

groundwater and in-lieu recharge. And although the goal of this program is to achieve a

balance of recharge and extraction of groundwater over time, the decline in water levels

has continued. As such, one of CID’s plans, as a correction to this trend, is to identify

lands for purchase that could be used to increase the size and number of spreading

basins in order to increase the rate of recharge during the wet months when runoff is

high and there is minimal irrigation needs.

In conclusion, Cal Water believes that groundwater for the next 25+ years will continue

to be a reliable supply to meet forecasted demands for Selma providing that measures

are taken by CID and other water agencies to reduce withdrawals and/or increase

recharge to the groundwater basin. With respect to increasing recharge to the

groundwater basin, Cal Water plans to work with CID to develop plans for additional

facilities that will accomplish that objective. For example, a chief mitigation (water

supply augmentation) strategy that can be more deeply investigated over the next

decade pertains to the use of recycled water for (currently) non-potable uses, including

irrigation and groundwater recharge.

Water Quality

Water delivered to customers in the Selma District meets all federal and state drinking

water regulations. However, it is also known that quality of groundwater produced by

Selma’s wells can vary depending on location. Nitrates are a documented historical

concern, and the pesticide Dibromochloropropane (DBCP) is also of concern. Wells with

excessive DBCP are either taken out-of-service, or well-head granulated activated

carbon (GAC) treatment facilities are installed to remove the contaminant. The

presence of this organic chemical contaminant in district wells means that regular

monitoring of all wells must be done due to the possibility of plume migration. Finally,

more recently, trichloropropane (TCP) has been detected in a number of Selma’s wells.

Of principal concern here is the overall linkage to securing and maintaining adequate

water supply due to water quality impacts (e.g., loss of facilities due to contamination,

and the ability to site new clean wells), to say nothing of cost-of-service implications for

our customers via the requirement to install expensive forms of water treatment.

Population and Housing (Water Demand)

This development represents a notable increase in the number of residential dwelling

units (DU) in Cal Water’s Selma service area. For instance, Cal Water’s baseline housing

segment (single- and multi-family units) totaled 5,631 connections in 2015. This housing

segment is projected to increase to 6,041 connections in 2020, and 6,483 connections in

2025 (implying an interpolated value of 6,306 connections in 2023). Collectively, these

Page 34: $SSHQGL[ & &RUUHVSRQGHQFHV · 2017. 5. 26. · Attachments: Letter to City Planning Officials - Attachmet - SEL.pdf TTrraacckkining: Recipient Delivery 'Ken Grey (keng@cityofselma.com)

Page 5 of 7

numbers reflect a standing growth projection of 675 services (6,306 minus 5,631) during

the Housing Element planning timeframe (2015-2023). Given that this development

seeks to fulfill a remaining need of 1,239 units, it appears that Cal Water’s near-term

(eight- to ten-year) service forecast is completely claimed (and notably exceeded) by

this development plan. This is of concern to Cal Water as it links to a host of

interconnected management processes aimed at achieving supply-demand balance

(e.g., internal supply planning efforts, internal demand response and conservation

efforts, and groundwater basin management). It is also of concern relative to what the

company can reasonably expect to secure from an infrastructure investment and

improvement perspective (General Rate Case filings and the like). Finally, as noted

above, there are potential future regulatory and policy implementation uncertainties

associated with SGMA that may also limit the ability to secure and pump new

groundwater supply facilities.

Traffic and Transportation

Traffic impacts relating to vehicle density, potential vehicle type and size changes, trip

generation (etc.) are of concern to Cal Water relative to at least two reasons: (1)

employee and worker safety, and; (2) construction-related concerns linked to street

and roadway maintenance (Capital Improvement Plan implementation and

coordination).

Employee Safety

The first of these factors (employee safety) springs from the fact that many of our

operations and maintenance (O&M) staff are continuously engaged in field-based

activities for much of their workday. This workflow places them within, or in close

proximity to, roadways, intersections, right-of-ways, medians, and crosswalks. Of basic

concern is that increased traffic flow or density increases the potential risk for injury-

producing vehicle-worker contact, even when various safety mitigation strategies are in-

play.

Page 6 of 7

Construction-Related Concerns

The second factor of concern linked to roadway and traffic elements pertains to the use

of streets and right-of-ways for many of Cal Water’s linear assets (pipelines and water-

mains). Stemming from both a construction and capital project planning and delivery

standpoint, as well as from an asset management/renewal standpoint, Cal Water needs

to regularly install and replace linear assets throughout our service areas, including

Selma. As such, regular coordination with various City departments is required in order

to finish these projects successfully and effectively. Of concern in this case is that

changing (densification) of traffic flow patterns will necessarily complicate (to some

degree) the necessary planning, scheduling, and implementation logistics behind

projects of this nature. Increasing project delivery costs as well as worker safety

considerations filter into this concern as well.

Utilities and Other Service Systems

This dimension arises for Cal Water, largely as it relates to the use of roadway and right-

of-way space for the installation of assets. For instance, it is common-place for other

utilities (gas, electric, fiber optic, etc.) to coexist within and around the roadway corridor.

As such, various forms of utility interference can arise, leading to planning and logistical

issues, installation complexities, and work-safety concerns. Total cost-of-service

implications are also at-stake when one considers the full life-cycle of our assets

(installation and asset management activities, often times over a 70+ year time-frame).

Closing Remarks

We acknowledge that these factors have been considered to date by virtue of this study,

and hope that that they will be repeatedly considered on an on-going basis as this

project moves forward. Cal Water also hopes to further engage with the City of Selma

and overall development community to ensure a responsible development pattern, one

that that is sustainable, water and energy efficient, and that provides a high quality of

life for our customers and rate-payers in the Selma area.

Ken,

Thank you for your inquiry with regard to the 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). We are inthe process of updating the 2010 Plan, and once our internal review is complete, we plan on providing Adraft copy of the 2015 Plan for your review prior to the public meeting, which has been scheduled forMay 12th at the City Hall. Please check our website to download the documents when they becomeavailable. Our website address for the Selma UWMP is as follows:

https://www.calwater.com/conservation/uwmp/sel/

We have provided a copy of the services and population projections on August 19, 2015 to yourattention, for which you provided a response on August 27, 2015. You have been in contact with TomSalzano from Cal Water, who has since retired. If there has been additional contact with Tom, we havenot received any summary notes from those meetings. The service projection we have presented atthat time is still in-line with what will be presented in the 2015 plan.

We have been asked to review the 2015-2023 Housing Element for Selma and have provided commentsto Christopher Brown of MIG, Inc., on February 5, 2016. A copy of our review letter was also sent to theCity of Selma. We have noted that the General Plan has presented several high growth populationprojections, which represent the upper bound of possible growth in the City of Selma. We have notreceived any information on whether we should adjust our projection. As such, we believe that thecurrent service growth that will be presented in the Plan, and in the initial email (dated August 19,2015), is the best estimate for the next 5 to 10 years.

If there are additional personnel we should be in contact with at the City of Selma, please forward theircontact information. Also, if you wish to discuss this further, we are available for a conference call ordirect meeting.

Regards,

Jonathan Keck

Dear Mr. Weaver,

Pursuant to California Water Code, Division 6, Part 2.6, Sections 10610 through 10656, California Water Service is in theprocess of preparing the required 2015 update of our Urban Water Management Plans. These plans are required to beupdated every five (5) years for each of our services areas (Districts). As you know our Selma District provides waterservice to the County of Fresno.

The purpose of this communication is to solicit your assistance in reviewing and advising us with respect to one of thekey elements of the plan, which is the development of a growth forecast for our district. This growth forecast isconducted based on growth in each customer service classification applicable to a particular district, which typicallyinclude:

• Single family residential

• Multi-family residential

• Commercial

• Industrial

• Government (City or County parks, median strips, landscaping and schools)

• Dedicated Irrigation (rare)

• Other (temporary construction meters)

The forecasted growth rates are combined with a demand per service factor applicable to each customer class todetermine the future water demands for the district. These growth factors are adjustable and we want to review themwith you so that we are consistent with anticipated growth that your planning efforts forecast. If adjustments arenecessary we can do them now and avoid conflicts and confusion later in this process.

Some specific information regarding our approach to forecasting customer service growth is detailed as follows:

• Residential – Typically two residential customer service categories represent the vast majority of theservice counts as well as subsequent water sales or demand in our districts. Cal Water considers bothsingle family and multi-family residential services independently as individual classes, but combinesthem together in order to assess population growth and housing unit growth. While we use historicaltrends in the establishment for the growth rates for these two customer classes, we also analyze censusdata for population and housing factors and compare our forecast results for these two parameters with

Page 41: $SSHQGL[ & &RUUHVSRQGHQFHV · 2017. 5. 26. · Attachments: Letter to City Planning Officials - Attachmet - SEL.pdf TTrraacckkining: Recipient Delivery 'Ken Grey (keng@cityofselma.com)

available data from City General Plans, as well as County Economic Forecast data and Regionalgovernment association forecasts as a reality or appropriateness check of our results.

• Commercial & Industrial – Historical trend is a key influence in this customer class, however where wehave seen negative trends in recent years for these categories due to the economic downturn, wetypically employ either a zero rate of growth or a small, reasonable positive rate of growth. We havealso undertaken during the last ten years some reassessment of customer service classifications that hasresulted in reallocation of some customer service accounts between various classes. This reallocation,which included commercial, industrial, multi-family residential and in some cases government services,has made the analysis of growth a bit more difficult.

• Government – Growth trends are generally parallel to that of the residential sector, so we verify thatour rate of grow is not dramatically out-of-sequence with the overall community.

• Other – The use of temporary-assigned construction meters varies considerably from year to year, andcan represent considerable water demand. In this case, we select a growth rate that is stable, yetreflects the overall growth of the community.

We have included with this communication a set of tables and graphs (see attachment) that illustrate the parametersthat influence the growth forecast as currently set up for this district. These include:

A. The historical and projected service data in both graph and table formB. The 2000 and 2010 Census data for the districts service areaC. Housing projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsD. Population projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsE. Table of population and housing values along with multi-family residential unit density and persons per housing

unit density that are employed in this forecast effort.

Please note that the 2015 data, which we need to include in our finished forecast, is not yet final, and some minorfluctuation of these values is possible.

Please examine these documents to determine if you concur with our forecasted housing and population numbers. Itwould be greatly appreciated if you could, by September 11, 2015, provide us with an indication of your support or inthe case you do not agree with our forecast a reason why and the appropriate rate or growth pattern that we shouldemploy. If I do not hear back from you by the end of business (EOB) on the above date I will assume that you concurwith our forecast.

If you need a more detailed explanation of these numbers or want to review them with us please feel free to contact meat (408) 367-8340 or by email at [email protected].

Thank you for your assistance in this effort.

Dear Mr. Grey,

Pursuant to California Water Code, Division 6, Part 2.6, Sections 10610 through 10656, California Water Service is in theprocess of preparing the required 2015 update of our Urban Water Management Plans. These plans are required to beupdated every five (5) years for each of our services areas (Districts). As you know our Selma District provides waterservice to the City of Selma.

The purpose of this communication is to solicit your assistance in reviewing and advising us with respect to one of thekey elements of the plan, which is the development of a growth forecast for our district. This growth forecast isconducted based on growth in each customer service classification applicable to a particular district, which typicallyinclude:

• Single family residential

• Multi-family residential

• Commercial

• Industrial

• Government (City or County parks, median strips, landscaping and schools)

• Dedicated Irrigation (rare)

• Other (temporary construction meters)

The forecasted growth rates are combined with a demand per service factor applicable to each customer class todetermine the future water demands for the district. These growth factors are adjustable and we want to review themwith you so that we are consistent with anticipated growth that your planning efforts forecast. If adjustments arenecessary we can do them now and avoid conflicts and confusion later in this process.

Some specific information regarding our approach to forecasting customer service growth is detailed as follows:

• Residential – Typically two residential customer service categories represent the vast majority of theservice counts as well as subsequent water sales or demand in our districts. Cal Water considers bothsingle family and multi-family residential services independently as individual classes, but combinesthem together in order to assess population growth and housing unit growth. While we use historicaltrends in the establishment for the growth rates for these two customer classes, we also analyze censusdata for population and housing factors and compare our forecast results for these two parameters with

available data from City General Plans, as well as County Economic Forecast data and Regionalgovernment association forecasts as a reality or appropriateness check of our results.

• Commercial & Industrial – Historical trend is a key influence in this customer class, however where wehave seen negative trends in recent years for these categories due to the economic downturn, wetypically employ either a zero rate of growth or a small, reasonable positive rate of growth. We havealso undertaken during the last ten years some reassessment of customer service classifications that hasresulted in reallocation of some customer service accounts between various classes. This reallocation,which included commercial, industrial, multi-family residential and in some cases government services,has made the analysis of growth a bit more difficult.

• Government – Growth trends are generally parallel to that of the residential sector, so we verify thatour rate of grow is not dramatically out-of-sequence with the overall community.

• Other – The use of temporary-assigned construction meters varies considerably from year to year, andcan represent considerable water demand. In this case, we select a growth rate that is stable, yetreflects the overall growth of the community.

We have included with this communication a set of tables and graphs (see attachment) that illustrate the parametersthat influence the growth forecast as currently set up for this district. These include:

A. The historical and projected service data in both graph and table formB. The 2000 and 2010 Census data for the districts service areaC. Housing projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsD. Population projection chart comparing Cal Water’s forecast (always in red) with those from other organizationsE. Table of population and housing values along with multi-family residential unit density and persons per housing

unit density that are employed in this forecast effort.

Please note that the 2015 data, which we need to include in our finished forecast, is not yet final, and some minorfluctuation of these values is possible.

Please examine these documents to determine if you concur with our forecasted housing and population numbers. Itwould be greatly appreciated if you could, by September 11, 2015, provide us with an indication of your support or inthe case you do not agree with our forecast a reason why and the appropriate rate or growth pattern that we shouldemploy. If I do not hear back from you by the end of business (EOB) on the above date I will assume that you concurwith our forecast.

If you need a more detailed explanation of these numbers or want to review them with us please feel free to contact meat (408) 367-8340 or by email at [email protected].

Thank you for your assistance in this effort.

Respectfully,

Re: Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration

2015 – 2023 Housing Element for Selma

Comments and Concerns of California Water Service Company

Dear Mr. Brown –

California Water Service Company (Cal Water) has reviewed the above-referenced

housing development plan(s) provided to our office on December 17, 2015. Please

allow this correspondence to subsequently document a number of our concerns

associated with this development, consistent with the instructions provided in your

original transmittal letter (and in consideration of the comment period extension to

February 6, 2016).

Our review considered the main environmental factors cited on Page 19 of the Housing

Element Study (“Determination”). Of these factors or dimensions, Cal Water’s principal

concerns revolve around the following items:

• Hydrology and Water Quality (water supply);

• Population and Housing (forecasted water demand);

• Traffic and Transportation;

• Utilities and Other Service Systems;

Of note is that some of these concerns, especially as they link to water supply and

demand, have been documented in connection with Water Supply Assessments

conducted in past years. Each of these principal concerns is discussed in the subsections

below.

Hydrology and Water Quality (Water Supply)

Cal Water currently, and for at least the next 25 years, anticipates meeting forecasted

water demand by using groundwater extracted from the Kings River fan aquifers that

underlie the Selma District. The Kings River fan is in the Fresno County sub-area of the

Tulare Lake Hydrologic Region. This formation is, and has been, the sole source of water

furnished to customers in the Selma District. Groundwater is currently extracted by

thirteen (13) active wells located throughout the District service area, while four (4)

other wells are currently inactive or non-operational. Cal Water plans to provide

additional wells to increase supply capacity as needed in order to continuously maintain

compliance with various water system regulatory codes (more specifically, Title 22 of

the California Water Works Code, and General Order 103-A, promulgated by the

California Public Utilities Commission). That being said, numerous current and historical

issues (of various magnitudes) affect the basin relative to local water supply and water

quality. These factors are of concern to Cal Water, particularly given the uncertainty of

regulatory expectations surrounding drought response, water conservation, water

quality, and the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Some background

information that underscores Cal Water’s concern(s) in this vein is highlighted in the

following subsections.

Groundwater Basin Management and Response

The Consolidated Irrigation District (CID, est. 1921) manages the groundwater basin

from which water for the Selma District is pumped. The District is located mainly in

Fresno County and small portions of Kings and Tulare Counties. In 1995, the total

irrigable acreage in the District was 145,000 acres, of which 92,000 acres are capable of

receiving surface waters from the Kings River. The balance (53,000 acres) obtains its

water supply solely from groundwater. In drought years, District irrigators have the

capability of pumping groundwater to meet their irrigation needs. The District does not

own or operate any of the approximately 4,500 irrigation wells in the area.

CID’s water delivery system is comprised of about 350 miles of open channels including

ditches, natural drains and sloughs. There are many lateral pipelines and piped portions

Page 60: $SSHQGL[ & &RUUHVSRQGHQFHV · 2017. 5. 26. · Attachments: Letter to City Planning Officials - Attachmet - SEL.pdf TTrraacckkining: Recipient Delivery 'Ken Grey (keng@cityofselma.com)

Page 3 of 7

of the main channel. In addition to gravity surface water deliveries, CID recharges

groundwater in the underlying basin through seepage from its channels and through

dedicated recharge or spreading basins. The effectiveness of these recharge programs

varies from year-to-year, ranging from about 180,000 acre-feet during dry/drought

years, up to about 300,000 acre-feet per year during wet periods. Despite these

recharge activities, CID’s 1995 Groundwater Management Plan, reported that

groundwater levels in the basin underlying CID, have been gradually declining over a

period of 50 to 60 years, with the estimated annual overdraft being about 53,000 acre-

feet per year. This is based on monthly monitoring data acquired from 82 wells in a two

square-mile grid.

Measurements conducted by Cal Water of static groundwater elevations in Selma

district wells show water levels have been relatively constant for the past thirty-five

years (the current drought excepted). There have been short periods where

groundwater elevations declined more rapidly and then recovered during periods of

above normal precipitation. In the Selma District, the combination of increased demand

due to growth coupled with the late 1980s multi-year drought, which greatly reduced

availability of surface water for aquifer recharge, resulted in a 45-foot decline in static

groundwater elevation. However, high levels of rainfall and storm runoff in the early

1990s enabled CID to supply more surface irrigation water and increase the amount of

groundwater recharged. As a result, the average static water level in Cal Water’s Selma

wells rose to within ten feet of pre-drought elevations.

One of CID’s major means to reduce over-pumping of groundwater is through a

conjunctive use program involving direct use of surface waters, active recharge of

groundwater and in-lieu recharge. And although the goal of this program is to achieve a

balance of recharge and extraction of groundwater over time, the decline in water levels

has continued. As such, one of CID’s plans, as a correction to this trend, is to identify

lands for purchase that could be used to increase the size and number of spreading

basins in order to increase the rate of recharge during the wet months when runoff is

high and there is minimal irrigation needs.

In conclusion, Cal Water believes that groundwater for the next 25+ years will continue

to be a reliable supply to meet forecasted demands for Selma providing that measures

are taken by CID and other water agencies to reduce withdrawals and/or increase

recharge to the groundwater basin. With respect to increasing recharge to the

groundwater basin, Cal Water plans to work with CID to develop plans for additional

facilities that will accomplish that objective. For example, a chief mitigation (water

supply augmentation) strategy that can be more deeply investigated over the next

decade pertains to the use of recycled water for (currently) non-potable uses, including

irrigation and groundwater recharge.

Water Quality

Water delivered to customers in the Selma District meets all federal and state drinking

water regulations. However, it is also known that quality of groundwater produced by

Selma’s wells can vary depending on location. Nitrates are a documented historical

concern, and the pesticide Dibromochloropropane (DBCP) is also of concern. Wells with

excessive DBCP are either taken out-of-service, or well-head granulated activated

carbon (GAC) treatment facilities are installed to remove the contaminant. The

presence of this organic chemical contaminant in district wells means that regular

monitoring of all wells must be done due to the possibility of plume migration. Finally,

more recently, trichloropropane (TCP) has been detected in a number of Selma’s wells.

Of principal concern here is the overall linkage to securing and maintaining adequate

water supply due to water quality impacts (e.g., loss of facilities due to contamination,

and the ability to site new clean wells), to say nothing of cost-of-service implications for

our customers via the requirement to install expensive forms of water treatment.

Population and Housing (Water Demand)

This development represents a notable increase in the number of residential dwelling

units (DU) in Cal Water’s Selma service area. For instance, Cal Water’s baseline housing

segment (single- and multi-family units) totaled 5,631 connections in 2015. This housing

segment is projected to increase to 6,041 connections in 2020, and 6,483 connections in

2025 (implying an interpolated value of 6,306 connections in 2023). Collectively, these

Page 62: $SSHQGL[ & &RUUHVSRQGHQFHV · 2017. 5. 26. · Attachments: Letter to City Planning Officials - Attachmet - SEL.pdf TTrraacckkining: Recipient Delivery 'Ken Grey (keng@cityofselma.com)

Page 5 of 7

numbers reflect a standing growth projection of 675 services (6,306 minus 5,631) during

the Housing Element planning timeframe (2015-2023). Given that this development

seeks to fulfill a remaining need of 1,239 units, it appears that Cal Water’s near-term

(eight- to ten-year) service forecast is completely claimed (and notably exceeded) by

this development plan. This is of concern to Cal Water as it links to a host of

interconnected management processes aimed at achieving supply-demand balance

(e.g., internal supply planning efforts, internal demand response and conservation

efforts, and groundwater basin management). It is also of concern relative to what the

company can reasonably expect to secure from an infrastructure investment and

improvement perspective (General Rate Case filings and the like). Finally, as noted

above, there are potential future regulatory and policy implementation uncertainties

associated with SGMA that may also limit the ability to secure and pump new

groundwater supply facilities.

Traffic and Transportation

Traffic impacts relating to vehicle density, potential vehicle type and size changes, trip

generation (etc.) are of concern to Cal Water relative to at least two reasons: (1)

employee and worker safety, and; (2) construction-related concerns linked to street

and roadway maintenance (Capital Improvement Plan implementation and

coordination).

Employee Safety

The first of these factors (employee safety) springs from the fact that many of our

operations and maintenance (O&M) staff are continuously engaged in field-based

activities for much of their workday. This workflow places them within, or in close

proximity to, roadways, intersections, right-of-ways, medians, and crosswalks. Of basic

concern is that increased traffic flow or density increases the potential risk for injury-

producing vehicle-worker contact, even when various safety mitigation strategies are in-

play.

Construction-Related Concerns

The second factor of concern linked to roadway and traffic elements pertains to the use

of streets and right-of-ways for many of Cal Water’s linear assets (pipelines and water-

mains). Stemming from both a construction and capital project planning and delivery

standpoint, as well as from an asset management/renewal standpoint, Cal Water needs

to regularly install and replace linear assets throughout our service areas, including

Selma. As such, regular coordination with various City departments is required in order

to finish these projects successfully and effectively. Of concern in this case is that

changing (densification) of traffic flow patterns will necessarily complicate (to some

degree) the necessary planning, scheduling, and implementation logistics behind

projects of this nature. Increasing project delivery costs as well as worker safety

considerations filter into this concern as well.

Utilities and Other Service Systems

This dimension arises for Cal Water, largely as it relates to the use of roadway and right-

of-way space for the installation of assets. For instance, it is common-place for other

utilities (gas, electric, fiber optic, etc.) to coexist within and around the roadway corridor.

As such, various forms of utility interference can arise, leading to planning and logistical

issues, installation complexities, and work-safety concerns. Total cost-of-service

implications are also at-stake when one considers the full life-cycle of our assets

(installation and asset management activities, often times over a 70+ year time-frame).

Closing Remarks

We acknowledge that these factors have been considered to date by virtue of this study,

and hope that that they will be repeatedly considered on an on-going basis as this

project moves forward. Cal Water also hopes to further engage with the City of Selma

and overall development community to ensure a responsible development pattern, one

that that is sustainable, water and energy efficient, and that provides a high quality of

life for our customers and rate-payers in the Selma area.
