Approving and authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute a letter agreement with the Westside Districts' for the temporary transfer of 2024 State Water Project (SWP) water supplies; 2.

Finding the transferexempt: from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. 1The Westside Districts are a collaboration between five water agencies in the San) Joaquin Valley - in southern Kings County and in western Kern County: Dudley Ridge Water District (SWP Contractor), plus four "member units" of another SWP Contractor, thel Kern CountyWater. Agency(KCWA), consisting of Belridge' Water Storage District, Berrenda Mesal Water District, Lost Hills Water District, and Wheeler Ridge-Maricopa Water Storage District. Page2of6 DISCUSSION District staff is requesting the Board's approval of an agreement with the Westside Districts (Westside Districts Agreement) (Exhibit. At to the Resolution) for at temporarytransfer in calendar year 2024 of up to 13,500 acre-feet (AF) of the District's surplus SWP2 water - a combination of "Table A" water (8,500 AF) and "Article 56(c)" water (5,000 AF, from storage in San Luis Reservoir (SLR)) -1 to recover costs, minimize the amount ofwater that would be lost due to storage limits at the end of 2024 or to spill in 2025, and maintain a more optimal level of supply in: storage for County water resiliency. Background Since November 2022, the District Board policy directive to staff has been to maximize the SWP water After a historic water year in 2023, the District has a surplus of SWP water in storage. The 2024 allocation far exceeds local demand from the SWP Subcontractors* (Attachment 1), and a combination of other conditions puts the District's SWP supply at risk of being lost if the District doesn't take action now. The most reasonable and timely option to mitigate this risk is to utilize the new "water management tools" - supply management provisions under the SWP's 2021 Water Management Amendment"- to find another SWP contractor who would take delivery of a portion of the District's available water under a temporary The amount of SWP water the District can store in SLR is limited, and that water is subject to loss (artificial "spill" events5) when the reservoir fills with current year/higher priority water. Since 2007, the District has lost 94,191 AF of SWP water due to the inherent limitations of using SLR for storage (see Table 1). Staff projections estimate that the District willl have about 18,500. AF of stored water in SLR going into 2025 (five to six years of supply). Based on DWR projections, SWP storage at SLR is likely to be full by the end of 2024, and that significantly elevates the possibility of the District's stored water spilling during the wet season in early 2025.Ifthe: stored water spills in 2025 under the current projections, the loss to the District would be approximately $3.3 million (assuming $180/AF, based on current District SWP costs). supply contract to increase water resiliency for the County. water transfer in 2024. 25 Since 1963, thel Districthas hada a long-term: SWP water supply contractwith!

The terms ofthe Westside Districts offer are optimal for San Luis Obispo County. Given the existing SWP conveyance constraints, 2024 hydrology, and SWP allocation at 40%, the pricing was determined to be fair and reasonable relative to the current District costs, historic transfer pricing, and other recently published market data on south of Delta transfers. Table A Water Transfer Component IfWestside Districts (Attachment 2) takes delivery of the full 8,500 AF of Table A water made available to them, the District willl have atl least 10,000 AF ofwater remaining in storage at SLR att the end of 2024 (based on current conditions), which is about two to three years of supply for the District. Article 56(c) Water Transfer Component With District Board approval of the Westside Districts Agreement, the Public Works Director would be delegated authority to exercise the option to make up to 5,000AE of additional water available later in 2024, subject to the District's determination that there is still a high risk of losing stored water at SLR to a spill event in 2025. This option allows the District to reduce the risk of additional losses and maintain at least 5,000-6,000. AF in storage at SLR for emergency use (about 18-24 months of supply). Westside-SLO Transfer and Supporting Agreements District staff developed the terms in partnership with Westside Districts staff, as shown in the proposed Westside Districts Agreement. Page 4of6 Ift the District approves the proposed transfers via resolution (Attachment 5), the next step is to secure DWR's approval oft the transfer via letter agreement (DWR grement,Atacmment 4), which is a standard For DWR to approve, it must (1) review the proposed transfer for compliance with CEQA, (2) confirm SWP delivery capability to complete the transfer, (3) review that it is consistent with each long-term SWP water supply contract (Water Supply Contract) it has with the District, DRWD, and KCWA, and (4) determine that the transfer will not adversely impact SWP operations, facilities or other SWP Contractors*. As such, today's request is also for your Board to authorize the Director of Public Works to execute the DWR Agreement that permits the District to transfer the SWP water pursuant to the Westside Districts requirement for all SWP transfers. Agreement. CEQA Determination The Environmental Division Manager has reviewed the project and determined that it is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (existing facilities) (Exhibit B to the Resolution). OTHER AGENCY NVOLVEMENTAMPACT The proposed temporary water transfer was reviewed with the District's State Water Subcontractors Advisory Committee and the Water Resources Advisory Committee (WRAC). Both were: supportive, andi the WRAC voted to endorse the District's policy directive to maximize the benefits oft the SWP contract. The attached resolution and Westside Districts Agreement have been reviewed by County Counsel and approved as to form and effect. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The proposed temporary transfer provides the District an opportunity for significant cost recovery and would have no impact on the District's ability to make all payments, including payments due under the Under the Westside Districts Agreement, upto 8,500 AE (at $450/AF) oft the District's surplus 2024 Table. A" water would be made available to the Westside Districts, and the District would potentially recover up to District's Water Supply Contract with DWR. $3.7 million, credited to: (1) the District's State Water Tax Fund (estimated credit = up to $2.6-3.1 million), and (2) the District's SWP Subcontractors (estimated credit = up to $0.6-1.1 million), based on their unused share of 2024 Table. A water under the 2024 allocation. 6The proposed temporary transfer is consistent with District policy on the use of the excess allocation (Attachment: 3). 7A Ani initial DWR.

Page 50 of6 The option to make upto 5,000 AF of additional stored water available could result in up to $1.75 million Revenue generated from the transfer would actually reduce costs borne by the Countywide taxpayers by providing increased revenue for the District that could be used to help offset other DWR cost obligations inadditional cost recovery for the District. (e.g., Delta Conveyance Project planning/design ncosts). RESULTS Approval oft the temporarywater transfer will meety your Board's priority to maximize the SWP water supply contract, putting to beneficial use all the water available and recovering the costs of maintaining the allocation to the fullest extent possible this year, thereby contributing to a well-governed community.
