Availabili ty fees referred to in City Ordinance No. 2660, Section
1. 46. 120A, will provide the necessary capital for constructing
water supply facilities to growth areas outside of original
service area purchased from Tenneco (C-1 area).
The formula for establishing this fee is based upon two million
gallons of water storage and five domestic water wells for every
two (2) square miles. Attached are cost estimates for water
storage and well fad Ii ties based on current costs within the
Ashe and Fairhaven Water Systems. Therefore, the available fee
:;hould be set at $2,000 per acre for all developments (outside C-l
area) with a fire flow requirement of 2,000 gallon per minute (GPM)
or .less. Developments that require more than 2,000 GPM fire flow
should pay $.50 per/GPM/Acre of additional fire flow requirement.
Stetson Engineers have reviewed and recommend this fee concept.

REPLY TO:
Mr. John H. Hansen
Domestic Water Superintendent
City of Bakersfield
1501 Truxtun Avenue
Bakersfield, CA. 93301
Re: Your letter of July 13, 1982; Availability Fees
Dear John:
We have reviewed your memorandum regarding availability fees
for special facilities to be located outside the C-l area. The $2,000
per acre fee suggested in your letter is reasonable for establishing
an availability fee schedulé.
As you know, the cost of special facilities is contingent on
the total potential water demand of the area being developed. The
higher the regular system demand and fire flow requirement the greater
is the capital cost requirement for the water system facilities needed
to serve the area.
At ,the present time the City's fire flow requirements range
from 1,200 gpm to 5,000 gpm. We suggest a minimum availability fee of
$2,000 per acre to be applicable to all development area having a fire
flow requirement of 2,000 gpm or less. In addition, the availability
fee should be increased for any fire flow requirement exceeding the
first 2,000 gpm, at a rate of $0.50/GPM/Acre of additional fire flow
requirement.
As an example, assume 35 acres are going to be developed and
that 30 acres has a fire flow requirement of 2,000 gpm, and the
remaining 5~ acres with a fire flow requirement of 5,000 gpm. The
availability fee would be calculated as follows:
35 acres x $2,000/Acre (Basic Availability Fee) = $70.000
5 acres x 3,000 gpm x $0.50/gpm (Additional Availability Fee) = 7,500
Total Availability Fee $77,500
,', ¡. 'i i I
"
Once a fee schedule is established the City should then
periodically review it to ensure that an adequate, yet not excessive
amount of funds are being collected, which will be readily available
: at the time the facilities are to be constructed.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please give
me a call.
Very truly yours,
i ~ì (;'_.--

Stetson Engineers have reviewed and recommend this fee concept.

Re: Your letter of July 13, 1982; Availability Fees
Dear John:
We have reviewed your memorandum regarding availability fees
for special facilities to be located outside the C-l area. The $2,000
per acre fee suggested in your letter is reasonable for establishing
an availability fee schedule.
As you know, the cost of special facilities is contingent on
the total potential water demand of the area being developed. The
higher the regular sys~em demand and fire flow requirement the greater
is the capital cost requirement for the wat"er system facilities needed
to serve the area.
At the present time the City's fire flow requirements range
from 1,200 gpm to 5,000 gpm. We suggest a minimum availability fee of
$2,000 per acre to be applicable to all development area having a fire
flow requirement of 2,000 gpm or less. In addition, the availability
fee should be increased for any fire flow requirement exceeding the
first 2,000 gpm, at a rate of $0.50/GPM/Acre of additional fire flow
requirement.
As an example, assume 35 acres are going to be developed and
that 30 acres has a fire flow requirement of 2,000 gpm, and the
remaining"5~ acres with a fire flow requirement of 5,000 gpm. The
availability fee would be calculated as follows:
35 acres x $2,000/Acre (Basic Availability Fee) = $70.000
5 acres x 3,000 gpm x $0.50/gpm (Additional Availability Fee) = 7,500
Total Availability Fee $77,500
- - ~-~_u -----

<
Once a fee schedule is established the City should then
periodically review it to ensure that an adequate, yet not excessive
amount of funds are being collected, which will be readily available
at the time the facilities are to be constructed.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please give
me a call.
Very truly yours,

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 J~nuary 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 pred~cted the population should increase approximate-
ly 34% by 1990, if this growth rate continues.
.
The population within the incorporated city limits of the City of Bakers-
field increased approximately 5l.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 203f 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 gros.sed in excess of $1,000,000
each. Cotton, the leading cash. crop in Kern C9u~ty, 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 31.64-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 b~ 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 floodp1àin 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
parcel, 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 of 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 Jike1ihood 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 V ALUATlON
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:

Market Data No. 1 represents the purchase of a 16.16-acre parcel located
southwesterly of the subject and adjacent to the Kern
River. Approximately 5.33 acres were river-bottom land and 10.83 acres
were usable.

.
I 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.l79-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 flood-
plain with no access were valued at $386 per acre, and 14.204 usable M-l
zoned acres with public road access were valued at $5,000 per acre.
Market Data No. 3 represents the 1979 purchase of a 120.844-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 lo-
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 abòve 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 quality degrada-
tion during this time peridd. Since ßearly 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 alsó 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 Contraètor 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.
,
:õ \ \

. 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 r~servoir 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. I 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 6f 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 C~ty 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 calcùlation for
salt loads and groundwater quality changes that might occur
I
during the duration 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.
- - --------~ ------
~ ì

~J
Specifications for drilling and compieting observation wells
on the "2800 Acres" project site were advertised and distributed
I 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 analyzed for Nitrates, T.D.S. and E.C.
I
Water quality samples will be taken by City personnel and analyses
performed by an accredited lab.
The development of a contract or agreement for use of the
spreading facility by other entities is proceeding. Several
public agencies have expres~ed 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 municipal), 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.
I
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. Soi~ 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
basis for the next few months and this information will be
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.

A ì-L13 '::.er Spreading Agreement was drdfted and conce'ptually
~,.-
.
accepted by the City of Bakersfield Water Board during
this quarter of the project. This sets terms and conditions
for use of the '2800 Acres' project site and spells out
specifically that, subject to consent of City, based on
considerations of water quality of the spreading water,
imported water may be used on the project site for
groundwater recharge. This agreement also specifies
that spreader shall be responsible for compliance with
all federal, state, and local regulations and restrictions.
Work is continuing on preliminary plans for construction
of a diversion weir and headworks for. the control and
distribution of water through the ?roject site. The
preliminary plans and cost estimates should be available
sometime during the next quarter of this project. Project
money will not be used to pay for all of the engineering
on this work.
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 monitored
for quality on a weekly basis. As mentioned in a previous
report, records of quantities and qualities of the various
waters used for recharge at the project site are being
kept to determine effects of salt load and dilutions of
groundwater and the total effect on groundwater quality.
