Flow Regime Flow condition for steelhead not well established for lower river and estuary. Water Balance Hydrologic balance not well established for lower river and estuary estuary. 38 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Environmental Issues Identified by Stakeholders Issues Many months and some years the river does not need the water so put it to productive use. When the river needs the water then discharge the effluent. San Antonio Creek is good steelhead habitat. Establish new discharge point in San Antonio Creek, collect surplus water at Foster Park diversion and treat in existing gp plant. Use of water for recreation in lower river. Fish-Irrigation. How will the additional water reductions affect downstream and estuary water quality? How will they affect downstream and estuary dissolved oxygen concentrations? 39 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Environmental Issues Identified by Stakeholders Issues Reduction of critical habitat. Degradation of estuary. Endangered species. B Beneficial fi i l use designation. d i ti Groundwater changes. Water column chemistry chemistry. Flow provides oxygenated water to regenerate the estuary near the ocean. Impact of reduced flow on riparian habitat Impact of reduced flow on steelhead and other fish Impacts on natural aquatic species (including plants and animals) 40 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Other Issues Identified by Stakeholders Issues How will we ((Aera)) know which source we are drawing g from? (raw versus recycled) so that we can manage accordingly? Public awareness that water from City is not used for water flood activities activities. Maintaining source if unable to use recycled water (summer , low flow etc.) will we be able to access other source (raw water) for purchase? Human factor – Willingness to talk, brainstorm, without preconceived i d lilimits. it Keep the stakeholder process open. Impact on recreational, recreational educational and other non nonconsumptive use of the Ventura River 41 Other Issues Identified by Stakeholders CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Issues If OVSD’s WWTP went out of business in favor of Ventura’s WWTP for instance would there remain a legal responsibility of provide water to the river habitat? C t off infrastructure Cost i f t t born b by b City Cit to t access effluent ffl t and d distribute it? Unwilling partner OVSD. 42 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Recycled Water Alternatives 43 Possible concepts for recycled water alternatives that work within constraints • Lower diversion flow – 0.25 to 0.5 mgd • Seasonal diversion – Flow based trigger for diversion Reuse CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Impacts 44 To implement a diversion there are data gaps that need to be filled • Formal habitat survey • Flow regime for steelhead • Improved hydrologic balance CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx – Additional data collection – Water budget analysis 45 Seasonal diversion concept relies on a flow based trigger for diversion • Flowdiversion = Flowriver –Flowsteelhead • Feasibility y issues CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx – User that can accept variable supply – Variable treatment flow – Sufficient flow for reuse to be cost effective Flowdiversion 46 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Existing flow monitoring indicates some potential for a seasonal diversion 47 Flow (mggd) 120 80 60 1‐Jaan 15‐Jaan 29‐Jaan 12‐Feeb 26‐Feeb 11‐M Mar 25‐M Mar 8‐A Apr 22‐A Apr 6‐May 20‐May un 3‐Ju 17‐Ju un 1‐JJul 15‐JJul 29‐JJul 12‐Au ug 26‐Au ug 9‐Seep 23‐Seep 7‐O Oct 21‐O Oct 4‐No ov 18‐No ov 2‐Dec 16‐Dec 30‐Dec CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Estimated Ventura River Flow downstream of OVSD Discharge g 140 25th Percentile 25th Percentile Wet 100 A Average Day of Year 50th Percentile 75th Percentile Dry 40 20 0 1960 - 2013 48 4 2 1‐Jaan 15‐Jaan 29‐Jaan 12‐Feeb 26‐Feeb 11‐Mar 25‐Mar 8‐Apr 22‐Apr 6‐Maay 20‐Maay 3‐Ju un 17‐Ju un 1‐Jul 15‐Jul 29‐Jul ug 12‐Au 26‐Au ug 9‐Seep 23‐Seep 7‐O Oct 21‐O Oct 4‐No ov 18‐No ov 2‐Deec 16‐Deec 30‐Deec CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Flow (mgd) Estimated Ventura River Flow downstream of OVSD Discharge - Scaled 20 18 25th Percentile 50th Percentile 16 75th Percentile 14 12 10 8 6 0.5 mgd g 0.25 mgd 0 Day of Year 49 10% of Rivver Flow (mggd) 18 16 1‐Jan n 15‐Jan n 29‐Jan n 12‐Feb b 26‐Feb b 11‐Marr 25‐Marr 8‐Aprr 22‐Aprr 6‐Mayy 20‐Mayy 3‐Jun 17‐Jun 1‐Jull 15‐Jull 29‐Jull 12‐Augg 26‐Augg 9‐Sep p 23‐Sep 7‐Octt 21‐Octt 4‐Novv 18‐Novv 2‐Decc 16‐Decc 30‐Decc CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Depending on hydrology, diversion flow is small compared to river flow 20 Dry, 25th Percentile Average, 50th Percentile Wet, 75th Percentile 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Day of Year 50 Recycled water delivery to industrial use Ojai WWTP Effluent Pump St ti Station Industrial Pipeline Use 0.5 mgd year round diversion Potential seasonal diversion • Title 22 validation • New pump station CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx 18 raw water line • New pipe to 18” • Use of 18” raw water line (comingled with raw water pp y for agricultural g users)) supply • Use of existing turnout 51 Recycled water delivery to industrial use • Title 22 validation pump p station • New p CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx • New pipe to 18” raw water line • Use of 18” raw water line (comingled with raw water t supply l for f agricultural users) • Use of existing turnout Industrial User 52 Recycled water for direct potable reuse Advanced Treatment Ojai WWTP Effluent Microco filtration Reverse Osmosis Engineered g Storage UV/ H2O2 Brine Treatment/ Disposal CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Potable Water 0.25 0 5 mgd 0.5 53 Recycled water for direct potable reuse • New conveyance of OVSD effluent to the Avenue Water Treatment Plant CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx • Advanced treatment processes at Avenue Water T t Treatment t Plant Pl t • Use of existing potable water distribution system 54 Summary of Alternatives CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Alternative Industrial User DPR DPR Flow (mgd) 0.5 0.25 05 0.5 Unit Cost ($/AF) $ $500 $6,000 - $10,000 $6 000 - $8,000 $6,000 $8 000 55 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Discussion on Recycled Water Alternatives 56 Which reuse project would you support? Use your card to provide input CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx P j t Project 57 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Support/Opposition of Reuse Project from Stakeholders Issues Do not support reclamation as presently proposed. Too many variable unaddressed. Support the 0.5 mgd options. Move the existing facilities for treating the OVSD plant water to potable to the Ventura WTP where you have more volume and it would help the McGrath flooding problem problem. Storm water capture. Do o not o suppo support taking a go of O OVSD S rate a e paye payers se effluent. ue This s belongs to ratepayers. Support the use of 0.5 mgd for industrial use providing all the negative ti impacts i t are overcome/avoided. / id d The cost needs to be weighed versus the benefit. 58 Support/Opposition of Reuse Project from Stakeholders CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Issues Very limited effluent reuse. Water conservation. Storm water diversion capture. Support of the use of recycled water for Ag and industrial uses Cost for potable seems out of reach uses. reach. Whatever the City and other regulatory agencies decide. Aera is willing to be a prudent customer in whatever capacity the City decided. For the City to attempt to recycle the OVSD discharge appears un-economic for f the small amount off water under discussion. 59 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Support/Opposition of Reuse Project from Stakeholders Issues No project continues reuse for beneficial use. Support seasonal recycled water use – costs seem prohibitive. prohibitive Would like to see a scalping plant up in Ojai. Industrial use seems reasonable. reasonable Stormwater capture seems more feasible. Would not support any of the proposals. No cost benefit analysis, nominal increase of water that could be offset by other conservation efforts, unrealistic cost of delivering water. Cost benefit ratio is too low. low 60 Support/Opposition of Reuse Project from Stakeholders CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Issues Cannot support reducing the current minimal flow in the Ventura River. Heath of river depends upon this flow in dry times. Expanded industrial use is best alternative Use the habitat created byy the discharged g water to g gain mitigation credits to offset any habitat disturbance associated with the Ventura River water supply or Santa Clara River discharge. discharge 61 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx N t St Next Steps 62 Next Steps • Compile your comments into PowerPoint presentation • Post on City website CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx Define Project Kickoff Meeting Evaluate Constraints Identify/ f / Evaluate Alternatives Team Workshop Draft Report Final Report Stakeholder #2 Stakeholder #1 63 Project and Contact Information • Website – http://www.cityofventura.net/water/rivers • Contact CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx – Karen Waln City of Ventura (805) 677 677-4128 4128 kwaln@venturawater.net 64 CarolloTemplateWaterrWave.pptx E d End 65
