Gentlemen:
I
I
I am disappointed that there is nothing on the Agenda of your meeting I
today to discuss and give direction to your staff and legal counsel on
the proposed further importation of surplus Friant-Kern Canal water to
the City's 2800 acre spreading area by the Agency or other entities.
This is a matter immediately .before you that should, in the publ ic .
interest, get prompt attention. Moreover, I can factually report that
your staff is well informed and should be able to give you a meaningful
report on this subject. I can also report that your legal counsel, Stan
Hatch, has been ~ept up to date by me and others.
Because of my very substantial interest in the Rio Bravo Anne,xation to
-- the City of Bakersfield, I have grear inte~esr to see that the City's
rights for both spreading and recovery of water in the City's spreading
area are fully protected. Moreover, as you know, I have made available
to the Olcese Water District for use on City of Bakersfield lands within
the Olcese Water District the Lower River Water Rights on the Kern River
of La Hacienda,' Inc. Much of this water has already been spread in the
City's 2800 acre spreading area for future recovery to serve the City
lands within the Olcese Water District. For the benefit of those City
lands, I want to protect in every way poss!bl~ the right to recover and
utilize that spread water. I am sure that the same thing can be said
regarding the City's rights to recover Kern River water acquired by the
City from Tenneco, substantial quantities of which have been spread in
the City's spreading area.'
It is my opinion that these rights that all of us want to protect for
the City of Bakersfield can best be protected by entering into an understanding
with the Kern County Water Agency as soon as possible. We are fortunate
this year in having a surplus water supply on the Friant-Kern Canal.
As you know, some of such water is presently being taken by the Agency and
spread on the Berrenda Mesa Water District land along the Kern River just.
upstream from the City's 2800 acre spreading area. The Agency announced
plan is not only to spread and percolate this water, but to subsequently
recover it by installation of wells that will more than likely discharg~ 1
into the Cross Valley Canal. The Agency is also looking forward to spreading ,
surplus Friant-Kern Canal water in the City's 2800 acre spreading area
when there is spreading capacity in excess of the needs of the City's
I

requirements including theCity's contractual program with both the Olcese
Water District and the Buena Vista Water Storage District. Since the
proposed Agency program will be bringing more imported water into Kern County
to benefit the underground, I believe that the City Water Board members will
agree with me that cooperation with the Agency is desirable ánd in the public
interest provided ,that rights of the City, Olcese and Buena Vista are protected
and underwritten' by the Agency. If approached in a timely manner, I believe
that the Agency will enter into such a contract and stipulation. What this
will then amount to is that if there should be later some successful legal
challenge to the right of water recovery, the City, Olcese and Buena Vista
will be made whole by the Agency giving up whatever the courts might declare
to be non-recoverable. This should not be a difficult contract and stipulation'
for the Agency to enter into as one of the basic reasons and concepts for
formation of the Agency was to bring. in water to replinish the Kern River
underground. At the Agency meeting on January 11th, I read and presented to
the Agency Board a draft of letter agreement designed to fully cover this
overall subject. A copy of my letter is attached for any of you who have
not had an opportunity to read it.
At 7:00 a.m. tomorrow, January 21st, there is to be a meeting between,
representatives of the Agency and representatives of the Kern River Interests,
including, of course, the City of Bàkersfield. This meeting will deal with
several subjects. The most important in my opinion will be the program to
handle and subsequently recover surplus Friant-Kern Canal water that may be
introduced into the City's spreading area. I would like to suggest and
-"'-- recommend that the City staff people present should take a very firm stand
on the water recovery program as I have attempted to outline it above. I
think the City is fortunate in having some very capable people on the staff
of the City Water Board. I am sure that if the Water Board chooses to
have them take the position that I recommend, they will do a good job in
accomplishing that. Please do consider taking such action at your meeting
today.

Dear Stan:
To keep you up to date on our efforts with the Kern County Water Agency,
I am enclosing a copy of my expanded suggestions for an agreement to be
negotiate~ with the Agency by the City, 'Buena Vista, Olcese and Hacienda.
As noted on the enclosed draft of letter agreement, I read this a~reement
at the Special Agency meeting on the afternoon of January 11th and, of course,
left a copy there for further"consideration of the Agency staff and Board.
Both Paul Dow and Gene Bogart were present at the meeting and concurred in
my making the presentation. It is, of course, an effort here to solidify
the position of the City, Buena Vista and Olcese-Hacienda to recover, or
have the opportunity to recover, all spread water. If there is going to be
a challenge on what water can be recovered, I think that the ,Agency and its
--- Member Units can and should support-our recovery position in order to get - '
a recovery position of their own, which might be something less than what
they spread and percolate, but still a potentially very workable arrangement
fo.r :them. - --- y""--
I believe that you will agree that the City and Olcese have the
s,ame: basic common objective of firming up the future water supply for the"
Ci~y of Bakersfield. As you know, the water supply of Olcese is basically
dedicated to lands within the City of Bakersfield.
I am also enclosing a copy of the Minutes of the Kern River Watermaster meeting
at the City Water Department on January 7, 1983. Action is scheduled to be
taken on these Minutes at the Watermaster meeting now scheduled at 4:00 p.m.
on January 13th.
Since I feel that our interests in this overall.water program are now mutual
interests, I look forward with pleasure to working with you to achieve the
objectives set forth in the communication. that I read at the Agency meeting
on January 11th. .

Gentlemen:
-tI\ ~
At the meeting you called on January 4th, at the Rodeway, your President
Gene Lundquist and your Engineer-Manager Stu Pyle proposed that a real
effort should be made in 1983 to bring a maximum amount of water in 1983
into the Kern County underground for replinshment storage and subsequent
use in later short years. Several areas for underground recharge were
briefly discussed; however, it is clear at the present time that the
City's 2800 acre spreading area continues to be of maximum importance in
spreading and storing water for subsequent use. This is to advise you
that the City Water Department joins with you in believing that every
effort should be made in 1983 to bring more water into Kern County for
underground recharge. It is to be noted that the City 'cooperated fully
with programs of this type in. 1982 when a substantial amount of Friant-
Kern Canal water was introduced into the City's 2800 acre spreading
a rea. It is also to be noted that the introduction of the surplus
Friant-Kern Canal water was authorized by the City with the specific
understanding that the program would not work adversely to the interests
of Kern River Interests that the City has contractual agreements with on
spreading and water recovery programs in the City's 2800 acre spreading
-- --.... a rea. Namely, Buena Vista Water Storage District and Olcese Water
- District and La Hacienda, Inc. To maximize introduction of surplus
water into the City's spreading area in 1982, the cooperation of not
only the City but its contracting entities, Buena Vista, Olcese and
Hacienda, was also asked for the by the Agency and given. Such cooperation
meant physically that Kern River water of Buena Vista, Olcese and Hacienda
was detained in Isabella Reservoir for later spreading in the Cityls
spreading area with the understanding that if subsequent weather and
water conditions do not permit Buena Vista, Olcese and Hacienda to
spread their water detained in Isabella Reservoir that they would be
made whole by the Agency by having transferred to them as their spread
water the amount of spread 'Friant-Kern Canal water that would balance
the detained water in Isabella Reservoir that could notsubsequently be
beneficially spread. We regret to state that the Agency did not fully
live up to this understanding; consequently, this letter agreement is
for the purpose of avoiding any misunderstandings and formally setting
forth the conditions under which the City will permit Agency introduction
of surplus Friant-Kern Canal water into the City's spreading area in
1983 and following years.
1. The City, Buena Vista, Olcese and Hacienda agree to fully
cooperate with the Agency and"its Member Units in bringing into the
City's spreading area for underground recharge water from the Friant-
Kern Canal and California Aqueduct water through the Cross Valley Canal
provided that such spreading of water in no way adversely effects the
spreading rights and water recovery programs of the City, Buena Vista,
-----.-,
.
'. ( ('
(,
-
l'
< ,
Olcese and Hacienda. Such rights will be more specifically spelled out
in following paragraphs.
2. The City at all times has the first right to spread its Kern
River entitlement. In addition, the City has contractual agreements
with both Buena Vista and Olcese-Hacienda that set forth the spreading
and water recovery rights of those entities. Copies of those agreements
are attached and made a part of this letter agreement. The rights of
the City and the rights spelled out for Buena Vista, Olcese-Hacienda
will always be prior to any spreading or water recovery rights to be
granted under this letter agreement to the Agency and its Member Units.
3. In order to maximize the introduction of Friant-Kern Canal
water and surplus California Aqueduct water into the City's spreading
area, the City, Buena Vista and Olcese-Hacienda will at times detain
Kern River entitlement in Isabella Reservoir to permit spreading of
Friant-Kern Canal and California Aqueduct water when it is available;
however, this is done with the very specific understanding that if
weather ~nd water conditions subsequently prevent the spreading of the
detained Kern River water in Isabella Reservoir that the City, Buena
Vista and Olces~-Hacienda wil), if they so request, be granted a like
amount of the Friant-Kern Canal or California Aqueduct water spread by
the Agency for its Member Units. Whenever this request is made by the
City, Buena Vista or Olcese-Hacienda, the detained water in Isabella
Reservoir that must be released to meet flood control criteria of the
Army will be released for the Agency to make whatever benefic1al use it
can make of the released waters.
, -- - '---
4. Regarding recovery of water spread in the City's spreading
area, the first rights of recovery will always be those of the City,
Buena Vista and Olcese-Hacienda. Such recovery will be made from the
total water spread by the City, Buena Vista and Olcese-Hacienda and also
from Friant-Kern Canal and California Aqueduct water spread by the
Agency in any of its Member Units. The specific intent here is that if
there should ever be any successful legal challenge to the amount of
water that can be recovered from spreading operations in the City's 2800
acre spreading area, any reduction in the amount of spread water that is
recoverable will be met by reducing the amount of water otherwise recoverable
by the Agency and any of its Member Units. The City, Buena Vista and
Olcese-Hacienda will have full 100% recoverable water in the amount of
water previously spread by them. Thereafter,the City~ Buena Vista and
Olcese-Hacienda agree that water spread by the Agency and any of its
Member Units may be recoverable to the extent that there is no legal
challenge and Court Order restricting the percentage of total spread
water that may be recoverable.
5. To the extent that the Agency and some of its Member Units do
have the right of water recovery under this program, the City will agree
to wo~k wi~h the Agency on an overall well installation program, the
details'of which will be spelled out in a separate agreement. In this
letter agreement, it is stipulated that the amount of recoverable water
that the Agency and some of its Member Units may have cannot, in any
given calendar year, be more than 50% taken.

-- ,------ ---.-.
\
~ ! (
j \
I .,
"
~..
6. To accommodate the Agency and any of its participating Member
Units, the City and Buena Vista will, to the extent not required at any
particular time for City, Buena Vista or Olcese-Hacienda use, permit the
Agency and its participating Member Units to utilize both the River
Canal and the Alejandro Canal for regulation and trade programs on
introduced well recovered water. The unit charge for the use of these
facilities will be spelled out in a separate agreement.
7. The overa 11 intent of this letter agreement is to spell out a
water conservation program that will be of general benefit to the Agency
and its participating units, but without damage to the position and
rights of the City, Buena Vista and Olcese-Hacienda.
8. As a part of this overall agreement it is recognized that the
capacity and integrity of the Kern River Floodway established by the
action of the State Reclamation Board must be maintained. It is further
recognized that the responsibility of enforcement of the Rules and
Regulations of the State Reclamation Board are the responsibility of the
City of Bakersfield to the Tupman area and the responsibility of the
Buena Vista Water Storage District through the Kern River Flood Channel
down to Highway #46 and the responsibility of the Kern County Water
Agency from Highway #46 down to the Kern/Kings County line. As part of
this Agreement, it is specifically understood that after adoption of the
Kern River Floodway by the State Reclamation Board, no new diversions
'. ._" from the Kern River Floodway or obstructions therein are proper or
permissible in absence of a permit from the City in the reach down to
. Tupman; from Buena Vista down to Highway #46; and, from the Agency down
to the Kings/Kern County line. In addition a further permit should be
asked of and acted upon by the State Reclamation Board to indicate that
its requirements on diversions and obstructions in the Kern River Floodway
have been satisfied.
9. At this time, it is recognized that third party entities have
made some improper diversions, obstructions and changes in the Kern
River Floodway in the area under supervision of the Agency north of
Highway #46. As part of this Agreement, the Agency agrees to site third
party entities for the improper diversions, obstructions and changes in
the Kern River Floodway through this reach. To better handle this
problem area in the future, the Agency agrees to take steps to form an
Improvement District in this area in order to have a proper maintenance
and operations program set up to handle the 2500 cfs of flood flows in
the Kern River Floodway that has been designated in this area by the
State Reclamation Board.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the referred to Kern River entities, namely the
City of Bakersf1eld, the Buena Vista Water Storage District, the Olcese
Water District and La Hacienda, Inc. set forth their signatures below .,',
and the Kern County Water Agency, on behalf of itself and its Member
Units other than the Buena Vista Water Storage District, sets forth its
signature below.

SUBJECT --- JAMES & liTTLE JAMES CANAL COSTS (RELOU~~Q!L§_t..VJt:!§.:?_---------------------------
The James Canal is an earthern lined canal owned 100% by the City of
Bakersfield and the City is fully responsible for operations, maint-
enance, and record keeping on this canal. The James Canal diverts
water directly from the River Canal, just west of Cal State Bakers-
field. The James Canal is the canal used to supply water for the
Buena Vista Canal, (Kern Delta Water District), the little James
Canal (James-Pioneer Improvement District of the North Kern Water
Storage District) and approximately seven (7) booster pumps (owned
by Tenneco West, Inc.) in the Bellvue Ranch area. Total City owned
length is 6900 feet.
The Little James Canal diverts from the James about 6800 feet south
of the James Headgate and delivers water to two (2) boosters (TWI)
and to the James-Pioneer Improvement District of North Kern for
surface del iveries in that District. This canal is earthen lined,
100% owned by the City and City is fully responsible for operations,
maintenance, and record keeping. City ownership is approximately
610O feet. Total length for both canals is approximately 13,000
feet. I
The operations and maintenance costs for the James and little James
Canals for 1979, 1980, and the first quarter of 1981:
1979 Total Operation and Maintenance Costs
(Normal water year) = $ 19,086.81
1980 Total Operations and Maintenance Costs
(Wet water Year) = 39,319.23
1981 First Quarter Operation and Maintenance
Cost - Projected thru 1981 10,967,78 = 110,000.00
City operates and maintains these canals at 100% cost to the City,
with little or no costs reimburseable from other entities.
If the canal realignments and ownership transfers took place, the
City would continue to operate the headgate and measuring structures,
as we do with other canals, so manpower, materials and equipment would
be needed to do this. These costs would be about one (1) hour per day
for cana I tenders time plus vehicle, total yearly cost roughly $2,000..

SUBJECT: JAMES & liTTLE JAMES CANAL COSTS
Water losses through seepage and evaporation run about 3 c.f.s.
(6 acre-feet per day) for the James and about 3 c.f.s. (6 acre-
feet per day) for the little James. At present rates, $20.00
per acre-foot for contract water and $25.00 per acre foot for
miscellaneous water, this amounts to $240 - $300 per day in
value of that lost water. During a six month run this totals
to $43,200 - $54,000.
In addition to the above savings the City would no longer pay
property taxes on that portion of the little James Canal lying
outside of City limits. This would save an additional $335.73
annually by .el imating these property taxes.

PROGRESS REPORT
"CITY OF BAKERSFIELD GROUNm.qATER
QUALITY H1PROVEMENT PROJECT"
The new observation (monitoring wells installed in the "2800
Acres" (project site) have been continuously monitored by City
staff for any change in water surface elevations. The steady
recharge efforts of the last eight months have shown an expected
rise in water elevations on the project site.
Monitoring of water quality of the Kern River water that is
being used for recharge is continuing to further define the
effects of this quality water on the groundwater in the area.
Geologic cross-sections of the study area using data gathering
during the drilling and construction of the ~roject have been
completed are available for review and will be included in the
study report. It appears that a major aquitard does exist
beneath the project site along with a series of thinner, minor
aquitards closer to the ground surface. Well measurements from
wells around the study area indicate a separation of aquifers,
a "free" water 20ne ðhd a confined zone. The water quality
differences appear to be minor.
The compilation 0-£ data on water quality of various spreading
waters from all sources shows a marked difference in total
salt loads. The initial study shows salt loads up to ten
times more concentrated in California Aqueduct water over

10 Friant-Kern water. Final figures will be available (available
" .-. ¡
sometime in January of 1983) for the two year period January
1981 - December 1982, also at that time a complete water well
measurement program in and around the study area will be completed.
This data will then be used to generate depth to water and water
surface elevation maps for comparison to initial study maps
from January 1981.
Quarterly reports on progress of the pr~ject have been brought
before the City of Bakersfield Water Board, which is a public
meeting. Questions and comments are brought up at that time.
Preliminary plans for construction of a diversion weir and
headworks for the control and distribution of water through
the project site have been received for review by City staff.
Project money is not being used for these costs, but the plans
and construction are an integral part of the operation and main-
tenance of the groundwater recharge site for beneficial use.

RE: Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District
Miscellaneous Quantity Water
Dear Mr. Enns:
The purpose of this letter is to clarify the intention of the
parties regarding the meaning of certain language in Agreement
76-80, the 1976 amendment to the Kern River Water Service Agree-
ment dated August 31,1961.
For the past several months, your District and the City, through
our managers, engineers and legal counsel, have been involved in
a dispute regarding the meaning and intent of the 1976 amendment,
which provides for the sale of "Miscellaneous Quantity Water" to
your District. To avoid further disagreement and the expense of
having this language interpreted by a court, our consultants have
\ met and have agreed to the following clarification of the 1976
amendment, with which we also agree:
1) Under Section l(i) (9), as amended, of the August 31,
1961 Agreement, the price of Miscellaneous Quantity Water deli-
vered to the District during the months of March through September,
shall be at the basic $6.00 per acre foot escalated price, unless
such deliveries have been made at the unsolicited and express re-
quest of the District. If an unsolicited request by Rosedale for
delivery of Miscellaneous Quantity Water during March through Sep-
tember is received by the City and such water is in fact delivered
during that period, the price, as stated in the Contract, shall
be a "reasonable rates under then-existing conditions, but in no
event less than 3.5 times the basic $6.00 per acre foot price"
escalated.

and it may do so by delivering it in advance or by deferring de-
liveries to later years, so long as it delivers the District's
one-third share of Miscellaneous Quantity Water as provided in
, the Agreement. By this letter we are not intending to change any
of the provisions of the amended'Agreement, or to relieve the
City from using its "best efforts. as stated in Section l(i) (3).
3) Water available to the City during periods of manda-
tory flood control release shall not be treated as Miscellaneous
Quantity Water under the Agreement, and any water taken by your

tation of the Agreement.

RE: Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District

Dear Paul:
Enclosed find the letter which we discussed at our meeting last
week in Santa Barbara designed to settle the disagreement between
the City and Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District relating
to their right to Miscellaneous Quantity Water under their Water
Service Agreement.
It has been modified to accomodate the concerns expressed by
Rosedale-Rio Bravo's attorneys, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Littleworth,
which were reviewed with you and Messrs. Stetson and Chafin.
If you find it consistent with your understanding of our position,
please have the Water Board authorize Mr. Barton to execute the
document.
Once it has been signed, please date it and mail copies as shown
in the letter.
When the document has been signed by Rosedale, please send a copy
to our office for our files.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
