Attention: Mr. Ed Schulz,

In response to Mr. Schulz' request, I inspected the site referred

in terms of money, which a property should bring in a competitive
and open. market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with
the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably and
presuming the price is not affected by undue influence.
As a result of my investigation, it is my opinion the market
value of the property, as of December 5,1980, is the sum of
FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($15,000).
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS

,
opin'ions and conclusions of the property described he.rein, is sub-
ject to the following contingent and limiting conditions:

at Pierce Road and include a Denny.s Restaurant, newly constructed
Burger King and Ramada Inn Restaurant.
Trend - The trend within the area is classed as upward, as a result
of heavy traffic volume~ coupled with limited land availability for
future expansion. No change is anticipated in this trend in the.
foreseeable future.

locked, with no direct access to 24th Str~et, nor easements to Oak

notes a sewer manhole close to its center. No other easements are
evident, with PG&Etowers and related high voltage wires located to
the east.

contains 6,890~ square feet. Topography is classed as generally
level below grade, with full utilities located thereon.

HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and best use as taken from- the American Institute of
Real Estate Appraiser's publication, "Appraisal Terminology and Hand-
book II is lithe use of land which may reasonably be expected to produce
the greatest net return to land over a given period of time".or
"that legal use which will yield to land the highest present value."
Due to the parcel size, shape and access. the subject parcel
would require consolidation with the adjoining service station on
Bearing Specialty Company facility. for optimum utilization. Due
to the sewer line easement located close to the center of the parcel.
it appears likely that southerly portion would be utilized for park-
ing, only.
METHOD OF VALUATION
In this study. the Cost, Income and Market Data Approaches to
value have been considered. As the site under analysis is vacant.
the only applicable method of valuation is the Market Data Approach.
This approach relies upon the sales of sites with similar character-
istics to that under analysis. These sales are investigated to de-
termine prices paid, as well as physical characteristics of the sold
property. Comparisons are then made between the subject site and
those that have sold, to arrive at a comparative unit of value.
Pertinent record information is summarized as follows, for compa ra - . ,
tive sales.

. PURPOSE
. It is the intention of this appraisal to estimate the fair market value
. of the real property hereinafter described.
. DEFINITION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE
. Fair market value as herein used is defined as the estimated price in
terms of money which a property should bring in a competitive and open market
under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each
acting prudently and knowledgeably and presuming the price is not affected by
undue influence.
Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a speci-
fic date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
(1) buyer and seller are typically motivated; (2) both parties are well-informed
or well-advised and acting in his own best interest; (3) a reasonable time is
allowed for exposure of the property in the open market; (4) equity payment is
made in cash or its equivalent; (5) financing, if any, is on terms generally
available in the community at the specified date and typical for the property
,
type in its locale; and (6) the price represents a normal consideration for the
property sold unaffected by special financing amounts and/or terms, services,
fees, costs, or credits incurred in the transaction.
DATE OF VALUATION
The date to which the estimate of value applies is October 5, 1982.

CITY AND COUNTY DATA
The City of Bakersfield, incorporated in 1898, is the county seat and
economic hub of the county, strategically located between the Cities of Los
Angeles and San Francisco.
In mid-1980, the u.S. Census Bureau declared Bakersfield 12th of the 13
fastest-growing cities in the nation. The California State Department of Fi-
nance estimated the increase in Bakersfield's population from 108,779 on Janu-
ary 1, 1981 to 113,190 on Jqnuary 1, 1982, a 3.38% increase.
The State study also reported Kern County's annual growth rate at' 3.4%
since the 1980 census and predicted the population should increase approximate-
,
1y 34% by 1990, if this growth rate continues.
The population within the incorporated city limits of the City of Bakers~
field increased approximately 51.9% over the ten-year period 1970-1980, resulting
primarily from expansion of residential, commercial, and industrial developments
and annexation.

. The County of Kern is located in the south-central portion of the State
of California and is the largest in area of the 58 counties in the State. The
San Joaquin Valley portion of the county is partially surrounded by a horseshoe-
shaped rim of mountains with the open side to the northwest. Kern County con-
tains extensive areas of mountains, desert. and agricultural valley lands. The
topography contributes to the large climatic variations within relatively short
distances in the County, but the overall climate is warm and semi-arid.
Kern County is rich in natural resources and ranks first in mineral pro-
duction" in the State of California. Four Kern County oil fields are among the
top five producing oil fields in California and among the top ten oil fields in
the country. In fact, if Kern County were an independent country, its oil pro-
duction would be ranked 17th of all oil producing nations. In 1980, Kern oil
fields produced 203! million barrels of oil valued at $4.8 billion, and the
value of the 1981 oil production is estimated at $5.6 billion.
The county produces a wide variety of field, vegetable, and tree crops.
In 1981, approximately 75 crops were grown which grosßed in excess of $1,000,000
each. Cotton, the leading cash crop in Kern County, had gross sales in excess of
$316,000,000, followed by grapes at $181,000,000. potatoes at $100,000,000, and
citrus at $91,600,000. The total value of Kern County farm productio~ in 1981
was $1,199,623,130, a 5.75% decline from 1980 production.
The combination of agricultural and mineral production provides Kern
County with a diversified economic base, stable employment, and consistent
population growth~

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
The s~bject property comprises a 3l.64-acre irregular shaped parcel of
land located within the low-water channel of the Kern River between the Chester
Avenue and Manor Street Bridges.
Improvements: There are no improvements located on the subject property.
Flood Hazard: The property lies primarily in the low-water channel of the river
and is subject to constant flooding. Only during years of low
runoff or extreme drought would the subject land not be inundated with water.
Zoning: According to the Bakersfield Zoning Maps, the subject property is zoned
FP-P floodplain primary zone. The purpose of the zone is the preven-
, , tion of the loss of life, minimization of property damage, and maintenance of
the satisfactory conveyance capacity of waterways through the prevention of ob-
structions in the floodplain which diminish the ability of the floodplain to
carry overloads during periods of flooding, and to permit the economic recovery
of oil, gas; and other hydrocarbon substances.
In essence, this zoning ordinance prohibits the construction of any build-
ing or obstruction within the flow of the Kern River.
Assessed Value and Taxes: The subject property comprises portions of a larger
parce 1, and the exact tax liability cannot be deter-
mined.
Should the property be sold, taxes would then be based on approximately
1% of the fair market value òf the property.
-6-
-.
.
Present Use: As of the date of appraisal, the subject property was used for the
conveyance of river water to the southwest portions of the county
to be used fór the irrigation of farmlands.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and best,use of the land is defined as that use which may reason-
ably be expected to produce the greatest net return to the land over a given
period of time, or that legal use which will yield to the land its highest pres-
ent value.
The term highest present use does not refer only to monetary return.
Open space, recreational, and other uses may be interpreted as highest and best
use of land even though such uses have no monetary consideration.
Due to the present lack of public access and the Jikelihood that the sub-
ject property will be inundated yearly by waters from the Kern River, it is my
opinion that the highest and best use of the subject land is for the conveyance
of water.
'
METHOD OF VALUATION
Market, cost, and income data are three recognized approaches to the val-
uation of real property, however, some properties do not lend themselves to all
three approaches.
Due to the physical characteristics of the subject property, only the
market data approach has been used to estimate that value of the land. This
.
-7-
.'
"
,
approach compares the subject with properties of the same type which have sold
or are currently offered for sale in the same or a competing area.
The process utilized in determing the degree of comparability between
two properties involves the appraiser's judgment as to their similarity with
respect to many valuation factors such as time, location, size, age, quality
and condition of improvements, availability of utilities, zoning, and probable
future uses.
VALUATION
A study of the Official Records of the County of Kern revealed three
sales of properties with some portions located within the Kern River Channel.
These sales are summarized as follows:

,
. The allocation of the purchase price, in August of 1977, was $300
per acre for the river-bottom land and $2,160 per acre for the usable land.
.
Market D-ata No. 2 represents the purchase in May 1977 of a 33.179-acre
. area of land with 8.617 acres located in the Carrier
. Canal given a nominal value, 10.358 usable acres in the Kern River flobd-
plain with no access were valued at $386 per acre, and 14.204 usable M-1
. zoned acres with public road access were valued at $5,000 per acre.
Market Data No. 3 represents the 1979 purchase of a l20.844-acre parcel of
land, 38 acres of which were located within the Kern Riv-
er Primary Floodplain (as is-the subject), 70 acres were in the Secondary
Floodplain zone, and 12 acres were zoned "A," an exclusive agricultural
zone. The allocation at that time was 38 acres at $210 per acre, 70 acres
at $2,100 per acre, and 12 acres at $2,500 per acre.
From the above available data and after adjusting for such factors as 10-
cation, time of sale, and size of property, the value of the subject is'indicat-
ed at $23,730, or approximately $750 per acre.
CONCLUSION
~s a result of my investigation and in consideration of the above and
other indicators of value, it is my opinion that the fair market value of the
subject property, as of October 5, 1982, is the sum of TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND
SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY DOLLARS, ($23,730).

'" 2800 ACRE RECHARGE FACILITY
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA
Standard Agreement No. 0-142-158-0
Groundwater is the primary source of water supply for all users
in the Bakersfield area of Kern County. The aquifers have been
subjected to intensive use over the past one hundred years and
as a result, areas of bad water quality have developed. The
over~all basin supply has also shown signs of qualitydegrada-
tion during this time period. Since Rearly all water entering
the groundwater basin area stays there until it is used consump-
tively, the original salt load becom¿'s concentrated as the total
water volume is reduced. Natural soil salts are also leached,
from the soil into the groundwater supply as a result of irri-
gated agriculture, recharge operations and point source disposal
activities. Additional basin-wide salt concentration results
from the continued over-draft of the basin supply.
E.P.A. has approved the Regional Board's Phase IV workplan for
Water Quality Management Planning for the Central Valley Region,
pursuant to Section 208 of Public Law 92-500 (The Clean Water
Act). The Phase IV workplan contains the Tulare Basin Ground-
water Quality Improvement element which names the City of Bakers-
field as Contractor for the Bakersfield Recharge Study.
,
On May 15, 1981 S.W.R.C.B. Contract 0-142-158-0 was officially
recognized and the work plan was initiated by City of Bakersfield
\ personnel.

r¡; SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES
The objective of this contract is' to improve local groundwater
quality by investigating the feasibility of recharging low
salinity surface water into the aquifer which will provide
Bakersfield with an underground reservoir of good quality water
for domestic use. The 2800 acre recharge site is currently located
within a highly developed agricultural area which contributes
significantly to groundwater degradation due to the deep per-
. .
colation of applied irrigation water.' Continued and optimiZèd
artificial recharge of low salinity surface water from the
site, located adjacent. to the Kern River channel, will tend
to improve the quality of deep percolating waters in this area
thereby reducing the rate of degradation normally associated with
farming.
WORK TO BE PERFORMED
1. Define. surface and subsurface conditions which influence
the flow of recharge water at this time, establish a
plan for monitoring future flows of groundwater and a
basis for planning structures to manage surface water
flows more efficiently.
2. Plan,for a móst efficient use of recharge property under
various stages of water availability and various manage-
ment options.

.:;.
'::" 3. Identify management options available to the City of
Bakersfield in acquiring, storing and extracting water;
determine the institutional and legal arrangements that
might have an effect on how recharge can be used to
develop the conjuctive use of the site by others.

"~ FOURTH QUARTER
PROGRESS REPORT
"CITY OF BAKERSFIELD GROUNDWATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT"
A continuing program of data gathering was carried on through-
out this quarter of the project. Recent groundwater quality data
from water wells in the immediate area of the project study site
were aquired from private landowners and the Kern County Water
Agency. Appropriate adjustments were ,made on the base maps
that depict the existing- groundwater quality conditions.
Water quality samples were obtained by Cjty personnel and
laboratory analyses performed by local accredited labs on
imported surface waters used for groundwater recharge on the
project site. Kern River and other waters diverted from the
Kaweah, Kings and San Joaquin Rivers were used for recharge at
the project site during this quarter of the project. These
were floodwaters introduced to this basin for direct ground-
water recharge to ease flood damages that would have occurred
outside this area. Samples were taken biweekly and laboratory
analyses performed for chemical composition - and total suspended
solids. This information will be used in the calculation for
salt loads and groundwater quality changes that might occur
,
during the durati9n of the study. City personnel keep records
of quantities of flows introduced to the recharge site area,
and these figures will be used in those salt load calculations.

.- Specifications for drilling and completing observation wells
on the "2800 Acres" project site were advertised and distributed
, to prospective bidders. Thirty-seven (37) sets of specification
documents were distributed and four (4) formal bids were received
by the City. Layne-Western Company, Inc, was low bidder and
ha's been awarded the contract. Drilling is to commence
June 14, 1982. The specifications call for seven (7) boreholes
with electric logs on each hole and soil samples of the upper
formation in each hole apalyzed for Nitrates, T.D.S. and E.C.
Water quality samples will be taken by City personnel and analyses
performed by an accredited lab.
I
I
The development of a contract or agreement for use of the I
spreading facility by other entities is proceeding. Several
public agencies have expressed a desire for use of the site
and draft copies of an agreement for use have been distributed
to those inquiring. Consideration for use of the facility
include the type of water (irrigation or municipa~), quality
of the water to be spread, possibilities of extraction for
future use, and costs incurred for spreading and use of facility.

FIFTH QUARTER
PROGRESS REPORT
"CITY OF BAKERSFIELD GROUNDWATER
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT"
Seven observation/monitoring wells were drilled and com-
pleted on the '2800 Acres' project site during this quarter.
t
Each well was drilled to 250' depth, electric logged, and
heavy P.V.C. casing installed with a rugged cap and concrete
seal incorporated with the base. Soil samples were obtained
at 10' intervals down the borehole and were analysed for
nitrates, electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids.
Water samples were taken after the wells were completed and
regular irrigation analyses performed.
These wells will be measured for depth to water on a monthly
,I basis for the next few months and this information will be
I
,I
used to update existing groundwater level base maps. Water
quality samples are scheduled to be taken again next spring
to check for quality changes that might occur since the
beginning of the project.
The electric logs will be used to revise the preliminary
cross-sections for use in recognition of subsurface strat-
ifications and hydrological conditions. The logs -show
Spontaneous Potential, Point Resistivity, and 6' lateral
log information. These cross-sections are currently being
constructed.

Currently Kern River water and imported California Aqueduct
water are being used for groundwater recharge at the '2800
Acres' project site. These supplies are being m0nitored
for quality on a weekly basis. As mentioned in 1 previous
report, records of quantities and qualities of t~e various
waters used for recharge at the project site are being
kept to determine effects of salt load and dilutions of
I groundwater and the total effect on groundwater Juality.
