SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. A memo from the Water Resources Department is enclosed that discusses the fiscai effects of the proposed revision in the arsenic standard in drinking water. The costs could be significant and cause a dramatic increase in City water rates. 2. The Governor signed SB 141 this week. It will provide the legal framework and criteria for a budget appropriation in FY 2001-02 to equalize Proposition 12 funding for cities and park districts between the populations of 200,000 and 300,000. We had been left out in a loophole; that is now corrected. 3. Because there was a delay with the manufacturer receiving the stone, the shipment of the Kugel floating granite ball fountain for the Amtrack station has been delayed. We now expect it to arrive at the end of January. 4. The County will hold a public workshop on October 12t" regarding sewer service in northwest Bakersfield. 5. I will be on vacation Thursday and Friday, October 5ih and 6th. During my absence, John Stinson will be in charge, and the office will be able to reach me. 6.

This would have a dramatic effect across the country due to the incidences of naturally occurring arsenic in many areas and the extreme high cost to treat water for arsenic removal. Most of the naturally occurring arsenic is in the groundwater supplies, particularly in the arid southwest of the United States. Public comments were to be received by EPA on the proposed ruling until September 20, 2000. This proposed action was brought to the attention of the City Water Board at its meeting of July 12, 2000. After staff presentation, the Board directed staff to submit comments to EPA concerning the proposed arsenic rule. Attached to this memorandum is a copy of the letter that was sent. The cost of going to a 5 ppb MCL for Bakersfield would be high. As you are aware, 85% of our drinking water supplies are derived from groundwater. There are over 200 wells that are used to extract and distribute groundwater for drinking water to residents in the City of Bakersfield. The maj ority of the wells are owned by California Water Service Co. and the City of Bakersfield. Of the approximate 170 wells that Cal-Water operates, 35 have measured concentrations of arsenic of 5 ppb or more. The City has 11 wells of its 45 wells that are 5 ppb arsenic or more. Of the City's wells, only 2 wells exceed 10 ppb arsenic. The cost to treat for arsenic removal to attain the less than 5 ppb MCL is expensive, depending on the initial concentration level. The higher the initial concentration, the higher the cost to treat. Estimated cost of arsenic removal vary and there are different methods that could be used, but drinking water industry professionals have compiled ranges of costs for wellhead treatment. These costs are estimated and each situation will have variables that may or may be contended with at each location. The costs for amortized capital, operations, additional power, chemical supplies, disposal and financing are from $200 per acre- foot to over $350, over and above the existing costs to construct and operate a water well facility. An �,., . EPA Arsenic Rule September 29, 2000 Page - 2 - acre-foot is an approximate amount of water a typical family uses in a year. Since at the present time, only a portion of the City's system is at or above the proposed MCL for arsenic, the costs to treat that portion affected would be spread over the entire customer base. Translating that into the impact on a typical monthly water bill, the rates for a customer on the City's water system would have to be increased between $5.50 and $8.50 per month. There would be additional consideration for the upfront capital costs of over $1,250,000 per well. Alternatives for wellhead treatment are blending sources or abandoning existing high level arsenic wells and constructing new wells in "non-arsenic" areas of the system. The costs to do this are even more variable than the well head treatment scenarios. Blending can be accomplished, but first it would have to be approved by the EPA, then storage tanks and piping built to achieve a blended product. This cost estimated to be between $100 and $250 per acre-foot. A start from scratch new water well facility costs approximately $400,000 each. Piping the new well supply to the needed area and adding storage tanks could exceed $1,250,000 each, bringing the total to over $1,650,000 per replaced well. Cost per acre-foot amortized would be approximately $50 to $75 per acre-foot. If a combination of treatment actions were used to comply with the proposed rule that included certain elements of wellhead treatment, blending and replacement wells it is possible to lower the financial impact on the City customers as described. All actions for complying with this proposed ruling would be under the scrutiny of the EPA and the California Department of Health Services. Therefore, it is difficult at this time to define the exact costs and the total fiscal impact on the City and its water customers. ;�> -� CITY OF �� CALIFORfVIA WATER BOARD Mark C.

The City of Bakersfield is a community of over 250,000 people and whose drinking water source is primazily groundwater. Due to the geography and geology of the valley in which we live, arsenic does occur naturally in some area groundwater, as it does in other parts of the United States. Although the levels of arsenic in groundwater in the City of Bakersfield are for the most part non-existent or very low, arbitrarily setting an MCL of 5 ppb, or even 10 ppb could cause substantial detrimental effects to the City's water delivery capability and significant adverse fiscal impacts on the City and its ratepayers. The USEPA proposals for this drastic reduction do not provide sufficient health effects information nor the consequences of creating a hazardous product from the arsenic removal process. We understand the fact that USEPA has been researching this issue since 1996 and the studies and data referred to in proposing these standards are outdated and were not performed under controlled conditions. These studies apparently were not representative of normal and valid real life experience in the United States. The National Academy of Sciences has found no scientific consensus as to what level the standard should be set. The American Water Works Association has questioned the applicability of setting standards without legitimate study and assessing the consequences implementing such a drastic rule change. It is very obvious that much more research is required before any changes in this regulation are forced upon our water consumers. While we agree that the arsenic MCL should be set at a level that is protective of public health, more research and conclusive studies are needed to determine those levels. The City of Bakersfield Water Board respectfully requests the existing drinking water standard for azsenic be retained until such time as adequate and legitimate research is performed and to avoid unwarranted financial burden on our citizens.

KERN COUNTY PUBLIC SERVICES BUILDING 2700 "M" Street, First Floor Public Meeting Room Staff from the East Niles Community Services District, North of the River Sanitary District, City of Bakersfield (City), and County of Kern have met to discuss metropolitan area sewer issues. After meeting as a group, it was decided that initial actions would focus on the updating of County standards. It was further decided that these revised County policies would first focus on the County Service Area 71 region, which is the subject of the recently revised agreement between Bakersfield and Kern County and for which the County is obligated to act. Remaining portions of the metropolitan area will be added in this sewer policy as a part of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan update process and as master sewer plans are adopted. Currently, County staff is drafting amendment language for the Western Rosedale Specific Plan, Greater Bakersfield 2010 General Plan, and affected chapters of the ordinance code. These amendments will effectively extend the area subject to sanitary sewer requirements within the CSA 71 boundary by requiring: All new de�elopment with lot sizes of three gross acres or less and all commercial and industrial parcels to connect to a public sewer when they are within 1,000 feet or less of the development. In those cases where sewer trunk lines are beyond 1,000 feet of the new development, then a fee will be paid into a separate interest bearing #rust fund to pay the cost of providing sewer service at such time as the facilities are available. 2. All existing residential lots with lot sizes of three gross acres or less and all commercia! and industrial parcels to connect to a public sewer when they are within 200 feet of sewer service. Where the trunk lines are beyond 200 feet of these parcels, then a fee will be paid as noted above. Accompanying the amendment language wiil be the capital improvement program and nexus documents identifying the per parcel cost for this sewering program. The public is encouraged to attend this workshop. The Planning Commission is scheduled to consider this issue at its October 26, 2000 meeting and it is anticipated that the policies and ordinance code changes will be considered by the Kern County Board of Supervisors on December 10, 2000.

We are cun�entty working on the street re-construction of Madison Street within this area All work on Madison Street will be paid out of the Street Division's budget. The following streets within the Casa Loma area are still in need of street improvements: Lotus Lane between Casa Loma Drive & Bradshaw Street: Curb 8t gutter ( C 8t G) has to be designed and installed before the street can be - resurfaced. The portion of Lotus Lane that was paved had existing C& G. If new C& G is to match existing C& G, eleven (11) PG&E. telephone poles would have to be relocated. In addition, there are some p=operty fences that would have to be set back. Lotus Lane fronn 3010 Lotus Lane to Planz Road: C& G has to be designed and installed before the street can be resurfaced. No poles have to be relocated. Right-of-way is OK. � Nina Street between Lotus Lane & Madison Street: C 8t G has to be designed and installed before the street can be resurfaced. Right-of-way seems OK. Meeka Avenue between Ptanz Road & Brook Street: C 8t G has to be designed and installed before the street can be resurfaced. Right-of-way is OK. However, the California Water Company was going to do some work on the street, which they still have not done.

Califomia Water Company still has to do some work. Oliver Street between Planz Road & Brook Street: C& G has to be designed and installed before the street can be resurfaced. Some homes on Oliver Street already have C& G. Right-of-way is OK. California Water Company still has to do some work. There is ED/CD funding to complete the street improvements within the Casa Loma area. However, none of the streets can be resurfaced until C& G is installed and on the streets between Planz Road & Brooks the California Water Company has to complete their work. Engineering is currently working on the design phase for the installation of curb 8c gutter for Lotus Lane. Since we are already at the end of September, even if the design for C& G for this area was completed we would only have time to perform the installation of C& G and could not pave the streets till appmximately late April or early May of 2001, when the weather warms up again.

Operations staff were assigned to monitor speeding on Montclair and provide additional traffic enforcement. The issue of speeding on Montclair is a recent community oriented policing project. Traffic Sergeant Gary Moore contacted area resident Marion Jourdan about speeding in the area. Jourdan advised that drivers are using North Montclair as a shortcut between Stockdale Highway and California Avenue. Officer Eurto monitored the area during daylight hours on 8/26, 8/27, and 9/10 and she did not observe any significant problems. Additionally, the SMART trailer was placed there on 9/12, 9/19, and 9/22. Officer Cowell monitored the area on 9/25 between 12:50 p.m. and 1:20 p.m. with no violations. Officer Schimon has also monitored the area on three separate evenings and only found one speeding violation and one loud music violation. We have requested a survey from Traffic Engineering to determine if a stop sign is warranted along North Montclair. I have attached copies of our problem solving worksheets for your information.

These estimates include both design and construction engineering, but neither estimate includes a traffic signal at Brimhall Road which wouid add about $125,000 to the costs shown below. Right-of-way exists for the first option, but additional right-of-way woutd need to be purchased for the second option (full width improvements): For two 12' travel lanes with 4' paved shoulders and added width at Brimhall Road intersection for right/lert turn channelization: For full width standard collector improvements including curb and gutter (no sidewalk) and acquisition of additional required right-of-way: $235,000.00 $610,000.00 Traffic has not completed final analysis of the traffic volumes that considered the addition of a Verdugo Lane connection between Brimhall Road and Shellabarger Road. But based on their initial review of the data, two lanes with paved shoulders (the cheaper option) would appear to be adequate for a number of years. However, they caution this could change if Verdugo Lane is extended north from Shellabarger Road north to Palm Avenue. Regarding the need for a traffic signal, the initial numbers do not appear to warrant the installation of a signal based on current volumes. However, Traffic believes that operational considerations and increasing volume on Brimhall Road may, after 3 to 5 years, warrant the signal installation. Traffic also stated that a 4-way stop would also not be initially needed, but that again operational issues might require its installation in a year or two. The final traffic analysis will be complete next week. cc: Jacques R.
