before we hear from our directors i

107
00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:47,920
would like to provide a brief update on

108
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,400
recent developments regarding the

109
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,879
pacheco reservoir expansion project

110
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,159
when we applied for our water storage

111
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:58,400
investment program grant in 2017

112
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:00,959
the application included an initial cost

113
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,439
estimate of 969 million dollars for the

114
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:04,560
proposed

115
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,840
project this cost was based on 2015

116
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,720
which was a requirement of the

117
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,360
application due to project inflation

118
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,439
that

119
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,239
affects all projects uh the estimated

120
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:17,519
project cost rose to about 1.3 billion

121
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:17,919
in 2019 and then in 2020 we performed a

122
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,239
more

123
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:21,759
detailed design study which included an

124
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:23,440
updated cost estimate

125
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:24,880
this design study indicated the

126
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,120
construction cost for the proposed

127
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,160
project had increased to about 2.5

128
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,759
billion

129
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,280
that was prompted largely by major

130
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:33,120
changes to the dam and spillway design

131
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,919
associated with the foundation

132
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,360
um so that's uh where we've been and

133
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:39,280

00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,479
water shortages

193
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,840

194
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:34,319
during emergencies

195
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:36,800
protect infrastructure and enhance

196
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:39,199
groundwater storage and recharge

197
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,039
and improve the habitat for the native

198
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:44,720

200
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,639
in the face of climate change and the

201
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:50,560
risk of more prolonged droughts

202
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:51,919
we must take strategic measures to

203
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,120
protect our

204
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:56,080

two of our primary project partners

233
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,479
we're not doing this alone we're doing

234
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,319

00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,599
which actually owns the current

239
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,400
reservoir um

240
00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:11,120
i'd like to welcome members to both

241
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,319

243
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:18,560
i'd like to thank any representatives

244
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:21,440
any other elected officials who are here

245
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,879
any state federal and local folks i

246
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,639
understand that uh

247
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:29,759
congresswoman lofgren staffer ms

248
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:33,200
duncan is here um so

249
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:36,320
i think you know that basically with our

250
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,880
um we were lucky enough to place

251
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,360
one in proposition one water storage

252
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,240
funding that that is nearly 500 million

253
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,839
dollars

254
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,000
for this project and it was the highest

255
00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:47,360
rating project of any of the other

256
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,519
projects

257
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,440
so we did pretty well because we've been

258
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:54,720
peer reviewed that this is a good

259
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,320
project and um

260
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,160
i think they gave us even some early

261
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,560
advanced money so that was really good

262
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,120
so

263
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,640
um we're going to really figure out the

264
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,160
reason the scoping

265
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,160
meetings happening is we want to kind of

266
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,120
hear from you the public

267
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,920
and other stakeholders if this makes

268
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,080
sense

269
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,440
and get any feedback on the project

270
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,560
could we do it better

271
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,080
is the design elements can we do stuff

272
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,600
and of course we're looking at other

273
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,839
stuff whether it be

274
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,839
style storage

275
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:37,839
other storage projects thank you

276
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,600
director kramen uh we broke up there at

277
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:41,360
the end but i think uh we have a

278
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,200
second opportunity for you to go ahead

279
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,880
and say some words a little bit later on

280
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,120
but thank you for joining and we did

281
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,959
receive some early funding about 24.2

282
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,640
million dollars just as you referenced

283
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:52,240
um so that was one of the benefits of

284
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,040
being the top rated uh

285
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,480
project in the prop 1 grant now i'd like

286
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,920
to turn things over to ryan mccarter

287
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,800

00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,760
california environmental quality act

304
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:35,600
otherwise known as seqa

305
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,000
process and the purpose of the scoping

306
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,000
meeting

307
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,640
the items shown in blue on this slide

308
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,240

309
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,839
the initial study and the notice of

310
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,640
preparation were released in august

311
00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:52,480
2017 just before the water storage

312
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,800
investment program application that was

313
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,399
mentioned earlier

314
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,920
the first green box on the right

315
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,839
indicates where the project currently

316
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,600
stands as the team is beginning to

317
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:04,560
prepare the draft environmental

318
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,600
impact report or eir and the second

319
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,880
green box

320
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,880

321
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,399
undertake after public comment on the

322
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,720
draft eir

323
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:14,079
in preparation for the final eir that is

324
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,120
slated for completion

325
00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:17,120
in 2023

326
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:23,200
the purpose of the scoping meeting at

327
00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:24,800
this stage is to provide a public update

328
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,320
of the project status

329
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,440
provide an opportunity to receive

330
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,600
additional public and agency input

331
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,680
and specifically receive input for the

332
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,839
scope and content of the eir

333
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:36,959
as begin preparing the draft to be

334
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:43,120
released to the public

335
00:11:36,959 --> 00:11:44,800
later this year in 2021

336
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,640
the next segment of this presentation

337
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,640
will cover the background of the project

338
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:54,560
the existing dam on the north fork of

339
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,959
pachico creek forms pacheco reservoir

340
00:11:54,560 --> 00:12:00,800
just north of pacheco pass highway

341
00:11:56,959 --> 00:12:03,920
or state route 152. the approximately

342
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:08,320
100 foot tall dam was built in 1939 and

343
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:10,160
pounds up to 5500 acre feet of water

344
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,320
pacheco pass water district owns and

345
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,480
operates the dam and releases water

346
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,320
stored in the reservoir into pacheco

347
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,800
creek to recharge the downstream

348
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,240
groundwater aquifers

349
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,079
the groundwater is then pumped to the

350
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,279
surface through wells for agricultural

351
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:25,120
use

352
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:27,760
it is important to note the existing

353
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,680
reservoir facility only has the ability

354
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,000
to directly divert water into the creek

355
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:36,399
and has no other conveyance capability

356
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,399
such as a pipeline connection to a water

357
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:40,560
system

358
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,160
over the years there have been many

359
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,680
historical evaluations related to the

360
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,440
pacheco reservoir

361
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:48,800
the most relevant to the current project

362
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:51,519
dating back to the 1990s

363
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,760
california's proposition 1 of 2014

364
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:55,680
dedicated 2.7 billion

365
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,880
for investments in water storage

366
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,399
projects

367
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,720
as mentioned earlier the pacheco

368
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,519
reservoir expansion projects 2017

369
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,360
application

370
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,839
for this water storage investment

371
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,079
program scored highest out of the eight

372
00:13:05,839 --> 00:13:10,160
projects that received eligibility

373
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:13,760
for conditional funding administered by

374
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,760
the california water commission

375
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:21,200
the pacifico reservoir expansion project

376
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,680
is related to a project called the san

377
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,680
luis

378
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:26,560
lowpoint improvement project being

379
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:28,959
pursued by the u.s bureau of reclamation

380
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:30,320
the san luis reservoir provides storage

381
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:31,519
for both state and federal water

382
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,480
contractors

383
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:35,839
and valley water imports about 45 of its

384
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,320
annual water supply

385
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:40,079
and over half of that water comes from

386
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,360
the san luis reservoir through a pumping

387
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:44,399
plant and pipeline

388
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,240
called the pacheco conduit

389
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:48,240
in dry years when the reservoir reaches

390
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,639
low levels the intakes for the pumping

391
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,880
plant

392
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:52,480
begin to pull in poor quality water near

393
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,320
the surface and the water level

394
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,079
can even drop below the intakes to the

395
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,680
pumping plant

396
00:13:56,079 --> 00:14:00,079
the san luis lowpoint improvement

397
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,839
project intends to resolve this issue

398
00:14:00,079 --> 00:14:03,440
and the pacheco reservoir expansion

399
00:14:01,839 --> 00:14:04,639
project is one of the five action

400
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,760
alternatives identified

401
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:07,760
as one of its solutions

402
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,519
in addition to helping solve the low

403
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:13,839
point problem the pacheco project

404
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:15,360
offers emergency water supply and

405
00:14:13,839 --> 00:14:17,279
improves habitat for steelhead in

406
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,440
pacheco creek

407
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:21,360
these two efforts can come together as a

408
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,000
nexus project that can solve an array of

409
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,000
deficiencies

410
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:31,120
the next segment will describe where the

411
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,880
project is located and why it provides a

412
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,440
unique opportunity to meet multiple

413
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,440
objectives

414
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,440
the pacheco reservoir is situated in

415
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,160
southeast santa clara county

416
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,639
just off state route 152 about 30

417
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,320
minutes

418
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:50,639
east of gilroy san luis

419
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:54,079
reservoir is located about eight miles

420
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:54,079
east of the pacheco reservoir

421
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,800
after water from the current pachico

422
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,360
reservoir is released into pacheco creek

423
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,199
it travels about 17 miles to san felipe

424
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,920
lake before it makes its way into the

425
00:15:03,199 --> 00:15:05,920
pajaro river

426
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,000
as we face future climate change

427
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,839
potential multi-year droughts

428
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,920
and the water supply outages due to

429
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:19,920
earthquakes or other disasters

430
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,839
valley water recognizes a need to

431
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,839
develop solutions to these emergencies

432
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,079
the national oceanic and atmospheric

433
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:30,160
administration

434
00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:32,320
office of marine fisheries has

435
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,800
identified the south central california

436
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,120
coast

437
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,560
steelhead as a federally threatened

438
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,040
species

439
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,000
the pajaro river watershed that includes

440
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,519
pacheco creek

441
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,759
has been identified as a critical

442
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:45,759
recovery domain needed for these fish

443
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:52,160
the primary objectives of the project

444
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,360
are to meet the needs previously

445
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,120
described

446
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,279
while the primary objectives are

447
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,440
considered to have equal importance

448
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:01,279
the secondary objectives will be pursued

449
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:05,360
to the extent possible without

450
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:05,360
adversely affecting the primary

451
00:16:06,839 --> 00:16:09,839
objectives

452
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:15,440
project alternatives will be described

453
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,440
in the following segment

454
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,320
the project team is looking at various

455
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:23,759
alternatives including a no project

456
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,000
alternative

457
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:27,199
these alternatives have been formed by

458
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,040
investigations

459
00:16:27,199 --> 00:16:33,360
analysis and coordination with

460
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,360
stakeholders and regulatory agencies

461
00:16:35,199 --> 00:16:40,240
all of the action alternatives include a

462
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,920
new dam upstream of the existing dam

463
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,680
an expanded reservoir and related

464
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,000
facilities

465
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,720
a connection to the existing pacheco

466
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,040
conduit

467
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,199
that allows imported water from san luis

468
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,000
reservoir to be pumped into the expanded

469
00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:55,199
reservoir

470
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,720
and stored until it's needed

471
00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:59,120
decommissioning and removal of the

472
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,560
existing dam along with restoration of

473
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:05,839
the channel between the sites

474
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:09,120
for the new dam roadway improvements

475
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:11,120
power transmission upgrades and

476
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:18,160
construction material borrow source

477
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:19,760
stockpiling and staging areas

478
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,520
the variations between the action

479
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,319
alternatives include two different dam

480
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,240
sites two reservoir sizes and two dam

481
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:28,799
types

482
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,919
the alternatives also include variations

483
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:33,840
of the operations

484
00:17:29,919 --> 00:17:33,840
after construction

485
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,280
the project team has explored two dam

486
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,400
sites referred to as the upstream

487
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:46,000
and downstream sites the figure

488
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,280
shows the distance relative to highway

489
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,880
152 and the existing dam

490
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,480
you can see the upstream site would

491
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,280
allow for a greater amount of channel

492
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,679
restoration

493
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,440
between it and the existing dam which

494
00:17:55,679 --> 00:18:01,840
would be new habitat for steelhead

495
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,840
and other species

496
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:06,480
two reservoir sizes are being considered

497
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,520
as part of the analysis

498
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,000
a 140 000 acre foot reservoir at each

499
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,720
site

500
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,840
and a 96 000 acre foot reservoir at the

501
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,840
upstream site

502
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,760
two different dam types are being

503
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:25,919
considered in the alternatives

504
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,360
heart fill which is a newer technology

505
00:18:25,919 --> 00:18:29,280
using rock materials

506
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:30,640
from the site that are mixed with cement

507
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,400
and compacted

508
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,640
the strength of this material allows for

509
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,440
steeper slopes on the dam faces

510
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,720
and a smaller footprint the emergency

511
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,120
spillway and inlet

512
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,880
outlet pipelines can be integrated into

513
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,799
the hard fill dam

514
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,480
allowing reservoir overflows to spill

515
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:49,840
over the body of the structure

516
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,880
through a channel and then there's the

517
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,320
earthville dam

518
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,080
which is similar to valley waters

519
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,919
existing dams that would require

520
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:00,320
separate construction work areas for the

521
00:18:55,919 --> 00:19:00,320
spillway and inlet outlet pipelines

522
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,000
the long-term operations variations in

523
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:10,080
the alternatives include

524
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,919
two flow target scenarios for releases

525
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,480
into pacheco creek

526
00:19:11,919 --> 00:19:16,320
the original target flow was identified

527
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,720
for the water storage investment program

528
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,960
application in 2017

529
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,200
and the refined target flows developed

530
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,600
over the past few years with input from

531
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,679
state and federal resource agencies

532
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,640
with consideration of the water year

533
00:19:27,679 --> 00:19:30,960
type

534
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,360
and these releases are for the steelhead

535
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,360
benefit

536
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,160
there are also two different

537
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,400
participation scenarios in the

538
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,480
alternatives for comparison

539
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,760
a scenario without project participation

540
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,240
from san benito water

541
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,039
county water district and another with

542
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,200
10

543
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:53,120
which is their maximum anticipated

544
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,880
participation

545
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:56,799
san benito county water district is a

546
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,520
key partner for this project since their

547
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,440
system

548
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,679
also directly connects to the pacheco

549
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:07,840
conduit that delivers imported water

550
00:20:01,679 --> 00:20:07,840
from san luis reservoir

551
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:12,960
this is a summary of the preliminary

552
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,080
range of alternatives to be assessed in

553
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,600
the draft eir

554
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,440
which will include a no project

555
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,000
alternative

556
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,760
in preliminary alternative number one

557
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,679
represents the original project

558
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,159
presented in the initial study

559
00:20:23,679 --> 00:20:27,760
and the 2017 water storage investment

560
00:20:26,159 --> 00:20:29,679
program application

561
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,799
while the other alternatives have one or

562
00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:32,799
more variations

563
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:34,080
to the original project which will be

564
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:37,280
covered in greater detail

565
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,280
on the subsequent slides

566
00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:45,280
this is a bird's eye view of the

567
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,960
expanded reservoir area in blue

568
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,960
and a close-up of the new dam and

569
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,120
related facilities is for alternative

570
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,960
number one

571
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:56,080
the reddish brown area represents the

572
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,240
proposed dam footprint

573
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,320
the green lines show the arrangement of

574
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,320
the new pipelines and pump station to

575
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,799
deliver water in and out of the expanded

576
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,960
reservoir

577
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:10,159
the emergency spillway will be located

578
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,159
in the brown area shown

579
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:17,600
the yellow lines show the roads to

580
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:19,440
access the site and the new facilities

581
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,919
and the red lines represent the proposed

582
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,200
power transmission line alignment

583
00:21:21,919 --> 00:21:24,960
and these colors are used on the

584
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,880
subsequent slides for each alternative

585
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,039
as well

586
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,840
and again this is the downstream earth

587
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:31,840
bill option

588
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,520
alternative number two replaces the

589
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,400
earth build dam with the hard fill dam

590
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,240
at the downsteering site as mentioned

591
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,360
this integrates the spillway into the

592
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,360
body of the dam

593
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:47,840
as well as the inlet outlet pipeline

594
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:51,360
arrangement which significantly reduces

595
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,360
the area of ground disturbance

596
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,799
alternative number three moves the

597
00:21:57,679 --> 00:22:02,640
earthville dam to the upstream site

598
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:05,039
the preliminary design utilizes a

599
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,720
natural slope over the west abutment

600
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:08,320
for the emergency spillway which is a

601
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,080
favorable characteristic of

602
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,840
the site when compared to the earthville

603
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,840
dam at the downstream site

604
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,240
alternative number four has two

605
00:22:20,159 --> 00:22:24,320
variations from the original concept

606
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,159
with the hard fill dam located at the

607
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,000
upstream site

608
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:29,600
as compared to the previous alternative

609
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,760
at the upstream site

610
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,200
the hartfield dam allows a much smaller

611
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,720
construction footprint

612
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,880
with the spillway and pipeline

613
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:41,840
arrangement again integrated within

614
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,840
the body of the dam

615
00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:46,720
the last action alternative to be

616
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,799
assessed in the eir

617
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,120
is a smaller earth build dam at the

618
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:55,840
upstream site with a reservoir size

619
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:55,840
of 96 000 acre feet

620
00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:05,440
in this next segment we will review the

621
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,440
project impacts to be assessed in the

622
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,840
eir

623
00:23:09,919 --> 00:23:12,960
the activities of the project and

624
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:14,000
effects can be broken down into three

625
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,760
areas

626
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,840
the reservoir and work areas that would

627
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,520
be directly affected by construction

628
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,760
activities and inundation with the

629
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,520
expanded reservoir

630
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,360
the downstream areas that would be

631
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,039
affected by the changes in water flow

632
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:29,280
releases

633
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:31,600
and water service areas that would be

634
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:37,840
affected by changes in water storage

635
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,840
and deliveries

636
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:42,799
impacts to the physical environment to

637
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,000
be assessed include

assessed include anything with historic

663
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,039
or prehistoric importance

664
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,840
and impacts to tribal cultural resources

665

to native american tribes

670
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,880
the last segment of this presentation

671
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,480
will describe the process for the

672
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,480
additional scoping comment period

673
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:22,080

will send it back to chris

708
00:26:35,679 --> 00:26:38,880
thank you ryan appreciate the

709
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:40,720
presentation as always

710
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,559
uh now i would like to open it up to the

711
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,120
audience uh for any questions that you

712
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,799
may have

713
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:46,320
about the project information that was

714
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:48,559
just shared with you today

715
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,080
um there is the second open house for

716
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:51,520
kind of more general questions so we'd

717
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,240
appreciate it if you do focus your

718
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320
questions

719
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,880
on the material that ryan just discussed

720
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,520
or the environmental process in general

721
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,640
you can put your questions in the q a or

722
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,000
raise your hand

723
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,679
and you can also put your questions in

724
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,200
chat but as albert mentioned

725
00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:07,360
they tend to get buried down there so

726
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,799
the q a portal or the

727
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:11,200
raise your hand feature is probably the

728
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:12,559
best bet to get your questions in

729
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,919
again we are happy to address questions

730
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:14,640
related to clarifying the presentation

731
00:27:13,919 --> 00:27:15,919
itself

732
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,360
ask that you save the broader questions

733
00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:17,919
for the open house that's right after

734
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:19,120
this

735
00:27:17,919 --> 00:27:20,880
should you have any input that you would

736
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,600
like us to consider as we prepare the

737
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,200
eir

738
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,440
then please provide written comment to

739
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,880
the email previously provided

740
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,399
once we've addressed all your questions

741
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,919
about the environmental process we will

742
00:27:28,399 --> 00:27:31,200
transition to the open house

743
00:27:29,919 --> 00:27:32,840
where we will be happy to answer

744
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,240
additional questions about the jayco

chris back to you thank you albert

768
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,720
um so we've got uh well we had a hand

769
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,640
raised but it seems to have

770
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,399
gone down so we'll go to the uh q a

771
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,120
section i believe that's from katja

772
00:28:22,399 --> 00:28:24,880
irvin

773
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,960
is all the information in this

774
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,960
presentation in the nop

775
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,000
i'm going to send that over to todd todd

776
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,880
are you available to answer that

777
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,440
question

778
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,440
yeah sure

779
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,080
there's most of the information is

780
00:28:36,399 --> 00:28:39,919
available in the nlp

781
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,200
for the general project however we we

782
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:43,760
did look at

783
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,360
some additional alternatives that are

784
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,600
being considered now that weren't

785
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,880
discussed in the original nop back in

786
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,840
2017

787
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,279
and so those are those additional uh

788
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,320
items are now

789
00:28:53,279 --> 00:28:59,360
in the veteran the project presentation

790
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,279
are not discussed in the nlp

791
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,799
thank you todd uh we have a question

792
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:05,200
from ann hard

793
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:05,919
versus earth and dam cost difference and

794
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,520
why use

795
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:10,240
older technology i'm going to send that

796
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,240
over to ryan

797
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,840
ryan

798
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,320
okay i just had to get unmuted there

799
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,960
yeah so the hardfield dam is

800
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,240
is a fairly newer technology um similar

801
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,480
to roller compacted

802
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,000
concrete and when we went through a

803
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,320
large range of alternatives for

804
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,399
our engineering analysis we considered

805
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,320
many different types of dams

806
00:29:30,399 --> 00:29:34,480
and the hardfield dam did flush out

807
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,360
towards the top um earthville dams are

808
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,520
very common

809
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,399
um the california dsod is very

810
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,200
comfortable with

811
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:43,200
with the earthville dam technology that

812
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,520
we have in our current reservoirs

813
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,640
and we are considering the hartford dam

814
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,080
is something new

815
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,399
that we want to look into in further

816
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,399
detail

817
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:55,279
thank you ryan um so there's a question

818
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,039
related to hardcore dams that came in by

819
00:29:55,279 --> 00:29:59,200
a facebook from allen

820
00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:01,679
is the hard fill damn option more

821
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,000
seismically resilient

822
00:30:01,679 --> 00:30:04,000
right

823
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,159
i think that comparing the hardfield dam

824
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,919
and the earthville dam

825
00:30:08,159 --> 00:30:11,679
i don't think one is more seismically

826
00:30:09,919 --> 00:30:14,080
resilient than the other

827
00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:16,159
as far as my understanding um we can we

828
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,080
can return back to that question later

829
00:30:16,159 --> 00:30:21,679
with more information from our

830
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:24,240
our technical design team thank you ryan

831
00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:25,279
uh we do have a hand raise from swanny

832
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,320
uh albert can we

833
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:30,960
activate swany's mic go ahead and make

834
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:35,200
yourselves funny

835
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:38,399
can you hear me yes we can thank you

836
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:41,360
um i i kind of got in late but

837
00:30:38,399 --> 00:30:43,760
in looking at the map of the proposed

838
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:47,600
dam i noticed there is an electric

839
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,760
line that kind of goes towards the dam

840
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,440
and then just kind of ends out in space

841
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:55,120
is that existing

842
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,600
and have you thought at all of having a

843
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,480
small

844
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,880
generating plant there to run your pumps

845
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,960
and that kind of thing

846
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,720
ryan i think that one's for you as well

847
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,120
yeah the the transmission

848
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,760
upgrades needed are at a fairly early

849
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,240
stage

850
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,240
in the project design process we have

851
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,840
just recently identified the alignment

852
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,080
that was shown

853
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,360
there is an existing alignment there but

854
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,000
we do expect to do

855
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,360
some power upgrades to the the poles and

856
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,279
lines in order to

857
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,880
to generate the capacity needed to

858
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:27,679
operate the pump station

859
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,360
uh we we have considered generators for

860
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:32,320
for backup power but um

861
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,640
having generators capable of powering um

862
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,720
the

863
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,640
the full pump station when when needed

864
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:40,320
at full capacity would be uh

865
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:42,720
probably not feasible thank you ryan

866
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,840
a question from margaret how long is the

867
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:48,720
estimated construction for the project

868
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,559
ryan based on the different alternatives

869
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,240
we're looking at a range of five to

870
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:55,919
eight years

871
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:57,519
thank you um we have a question from uh

872
00:31:55,919 --> 00:31:59,440
i apologize if i mispronounce this

873
00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:01,760
either loa or

874
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,679
um i live in northeast san benito county

875
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,919
ran regarding the 10

876
00:32:03,679 --> 00:32:08,640
10 san benito county participation

877
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:10,720
option will that translate to 10

878
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,120
availability i'm going to send it back

879
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,120
to ryan

880
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,120
um i'd have to check with san benito

881
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,960
county water district on the

882
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,159
details and logistics and on how they

883
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,960
plan to do it um

884
00:32:20,159 --> 00:32:25,120
for now the way we're looking at an eir

885
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,720
is a is a range of participation from

886
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,320
from zero to ten percent and those are

887
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,159
kind of our bookends

888
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,240
it will be up to san benito county water

889
00:32:30,159 --> 00:32:33,360
district to make the final determination

890
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,080
on on how much

891
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,960
participation they'd like in the project

892
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,480
thank you ryan

893
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,000
i think jeff matano from san benito

894
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,600
county is on the line um

895
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,200
and basically we'll make sure that that

896
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,880
question makes his way to him

897
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,720
uh and get that answer posted to our

898
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,399
website as well

899
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,440
okay uh katja is it is this an official

900
00:32:50,399 --> 00:32:53,279
nlp

901
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,559
why wasn't it noticed and posted to

902
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:58,080
sqnet

903
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:58,080
uh i believe that's a question for todd

904
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:05,360
yes um i believe it's my understanding

905
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,799
that it was posted to sequence i'm

906
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,080
surprised to hear that it wasn't

907
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:12,480
we normally as our normal practice we do

908
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,200
post all of our nlps to sqnet i'll look

909
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,519
into that

910
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,960
thank you todd i think uh clarification

911
00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:18,640
i think um

912
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,720
kacho was asking if this particular

913
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,559
meeting needed a specific nlp

914
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,880
i believe the original project nlp might

915
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:27,440
have been posted previously on people

916
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,720
is that correct yes it's my

917
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,760
understanding that it was but i would

918
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,200
have to confirm that

919
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,360
uh because i wasn't on the project at

920
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:36,720
the time um

921
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,519
this this i guess we should have posted

922
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,519
on supernet

923
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,880
but for the public scope community but i

924
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:41,840
guess that was an oversight we apologize

925
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,039
for that

926
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:47,120
okay thank you todd

927
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:49,120
um we have a hand raised from bill

928
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,320
sherman albert can we uh activate his

929
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,000
mic

930
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,720
bill you're mike's activated please

931
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,720
don't meet yourself

932
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:03,039
got it i think can you hear me we can

933
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,159
okay uh i plan on sending in comments

934
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:07,120
but to help that

935
00:34:04,159 --> 00:34:08,159
i have two questions the first one are

936
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,720
you aware

937
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:12,240
that the cost that you're presently

938
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:14,480
projecting

939
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:16,320
amounts to over seventeen thousand

940
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,679
dollars per

941
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:23,520
one acre foot of capacity

942
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:25,359
added most of your uh supply

943
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,000
projects are in the range of two

944
00:34:25,359 --> 00:34:31,359
thousand dollars or less

945
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,720
to add one cc

946
00:34:31,359 --> 00:34:37,839
uh or one acre foot of

947
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:40,879
delivery so this only adds capacity

948
00:34:37,839 --> 00:34:44,079
versus delivery that's my first question

949
00:34:40,879 --> 00:34:46,000
and secondly where is the water

950
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:47,440
coming from what sources will it be

951
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,040
coming from to fill

952
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,040
the reservoir i'll go ahead and take

953
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,839
that one and spare ryan from having to

954
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,760
talk on everything um so you're correct

955
00:34:55,839 --> 00:34:59,520
the price per acre foot

956
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,359
is higher than what our traditional

957
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,560
storage projects are that's because the

958
00:35:01,359 --> 00:35:03,839
use of this

959
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,320
facility is different from our

960
00:35:03,839 --> 00:35:08,320
traditional operational storage projects

961
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,760
this is an emergency supply facility so

962
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,400
basically what we're looking at

963
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,520
is the cost to have water available when

964
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,280
water is not available through

965
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,240
traditional means either groundwater

966
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:20,079
importation or in our existing supplies

967
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:20,560
our board will be considering the cost

968
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,320
as it

969
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,000
factors into our water supply master

970
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,359
plan and our demand projections

971
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,599
and we'll be making decision moving

972
00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:29,520
forward on just how valuable

973
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,880
that commodity is to have that safety

974
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,880
net to fall back on

975
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,160
um so that's the question on cost per

976
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,440
acre foot um

977
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,440
bill can you repeat the second question

978
00:35:37,839 --> 00:35:41,680
let me just re-enable him real quick

979
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,680
hold on

980
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:46,160
they'll go ahead and repeat your second

981
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,880
part of question again

982
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:51,680
sorry uh the second question is where is

983
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,320
the water

984
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,839
coming from from the pacheco reservoir

985
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,680
from the watershed

986
00:35:55,839 --> 00:36:04,160
from the central valley projects etc

987
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:06,640
so yeah the reservoir will be fed both

988
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,280
locally from the sheikah watershed and

989
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,440
from

990
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,640
our supplies in the san luis reservoir

991
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,800
now currently

992
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,880
the secular valley water district is

993
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:18,560
both a state water contractor and

994
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:21,920
federal uh cbp contractor right now the

995
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,440
intent is to put cvp water into

996
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,280
the pacheco reservoir so basically if we

997
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,800
have extra supply in san benito

998
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,800
rather than spilling and losing that

999
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,480
water we would then import it up into

1000
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,599
our pacheco reservoir and have it for

1001
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,440
future use

1002
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:34,720
of course we'll also collect any water

1003
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,720
from the local watershed

1004
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:38,560
and depending on the water year uh will

1005
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:40,880
depend on what kind of balance we have

1006
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:44,480
between those two sources

1007
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:46,480
okay let's go back to some of our q a

1008
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,599
i have a question from stephanie i'm a

1009
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,760
bit confused

1010
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:52,079
where is it going to connect to the

1011
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,920
existing pipe that is across the freeway

1012
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:55,760
is it going to be a t-pipe are you going

1013
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,839
to have and put in a new pipe

1014
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:00,560
on land across the freeway that one's

1015
00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:00,560
back to you ryan

1016
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:05,280
yeah the existing pacheco conduit does

1017
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,000
run

1018
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,760
on the south side of highway 152 so

1019
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
you're correct about that and we are

1020
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,160
looking at putting a t with valves

1021
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,680
at that location um just south of the

1022
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:19,280
reservoir um

1023
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,880
and south of uh highway 152. um

1024
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,320
i think that answered the question i'm

1025
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,280
not sure if there was another part to

1026
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,040
that

1027
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,480
well i think you got it uh we have

1028
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,480
another question from katja

1029
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,920
where can we find new info that wasn't

1030
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,480
in the original nop

1031
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,480
uh todd

1032
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,800
here oh there we go um yes the that's

1033
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,760
that was one of the purposes of this

1034
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,800
of these two public information uh

1035
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,680
scoping meetings

1036
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,079
uh to present updated information that

1037
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,320
has

1038
00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:50,800
you know been added since the original

1039
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,960
nlp was released back in 2017.

1040
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,800
also the open house at the end of these

1041
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,280
two public scoping meetings will also

1042
00:37:54,800 --> 00:38:00,000
provide information that wasn't provided

1043
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,440
in the original nop

1044
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,200
thank you todd i actually have two

1045
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,640
questions from stephanie in the q

1046
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,920
a that i believe are more of the general

1047
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,720
questions that we'll be talking in the

1048
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,320
open house

1049
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:10,079
so we'll save those and once we

1050
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,520
transition to the open house section

1051
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:13,119
we'll go ahead and make sure those get

1052
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,640
answered

1053
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:18,400
let's see you're very welcome stephanie

1054
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,839
okay let's see if we have any other

1055

questions they're coming or any other

1056
00:38:19,839 --> 00:38:23,359
other people that would like to raise

1057
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:26,240
their hand and participate

1058
00:38:23,359 --> 00:38:27,440
okay i'm not seeing anything right now

1059
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:30,320
um

1060
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,839
uh we'll give you maybe two more minutes

1061
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,200
uh just to see if there's any other

1062
00:38:31,839 --> 00:38:34,400
questions before we transition to the

1063
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,400
open house

1064
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,240
oh here's one from katja can new

yeah i mean we have a uh our uh

1070
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:54,320

what we have specific uh information can

1072
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,160
be posted on there in writing if there's

1073
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,200
specific questions that would should be

1074
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:02,000
answered so

1075
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,760
we would be happy to present uh the

1076
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,560
information from this presentation

1077
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,839
uh as well and that the completion of

1078
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,560
these two meetings

1079
00:39:07,839 --> 00:39:11,760
those will be posted on our website

1080
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,359
thank you todd i believe ryan's

1081
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,040
presentation is already posted on the

1082
00:39:13,359 --> 00:39:15,599
website and of course the recording from

1083
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,119
this

1084
00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:18,720
and tomorrow's presentations will be

1085
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:20,960
added as well

1086
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:23,200
um katja has a follow-up question please

1087
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,040
study the use of the san luis dam rays

1088
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,079
and los vaqueros dam rays as an

1089
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,000
alternative

1090
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:29,680
sam lewis dam rays can solve the low

1091
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,400
point problem and both projects can

1092
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,560
provide

1093
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,400
reliability and emergency supply the

1094
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,520
cost will be significantly lower for

1095
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,200
this alternative

1096
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,200
i believe that's more of a commentary

1097
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,280
than it is a question uh

1098
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,040
unless you'd like to answer that ryan uh

1099
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,079
well we'll just say that was written

1100
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,680
and provided uh no i don't think there's

1101
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:48,640
an answer really available for that we'd

1102
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,160
have to look into that

1103
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,320
further but please provide that as an

1104
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:55,359
official comment thank you

1105
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,839
thank you ryan okay

1106
00:39:55,359 --> 00:39:59,599
any more questions does anyone want to

1107
00:39:57,839 --> 00:40:01,040
raise their hand and speak that's always

1108
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:04,560
better than me reading questions

1109
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,560
you guys get tired of me talking

1110
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:11,280
okay not seeing any takers on my offer

1111
00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:14,160
okay then um it looks oh

1112
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,880
oh i had a hand go up and a hand go down

1113
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,800
so they

1114
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,079
they thought better of it we'll go ahead

1115
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,160
and transition to the open house there's

1116
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:24,160
still plenty of time to ask questions

1117
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:25,359
um so uh you know just to reiterate uh

1118
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,800
thank you everyone for the questions

1119
00:40:25,359 --> 00:40:27,440
about the scoping presentation in the

1120
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,319
process

1121
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,640

that i'm just going to change my virtual

1136
00:40:54,240 --> 00:41:00,160
background here just give me one second

1137
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:02,480
normally in a in-person time frame

1138
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,800
we would be having a in-person meeting

1139
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,119
you would have this presentation

1140
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,800

cole state park which

1275
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:35,280
the expanded reservoir could affect up

1276
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:37,520
to 20 acres of the 87 000 acre

1277
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,119

would be impacted by a reservoir

1326
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,720
expansion

1327
00:47:31,839 --> 00:47:36,240
now you're saying that up to 20 acres

1328
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:39,280
can be impacted

1329
00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:42,800
which of those two uh assertions by the

1330
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:44,480
water district is correct

1331
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,000
thank you bob i'm going to provide

1332
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,520
opportunity for staff in case they have

1333
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,520
a responsibility ryan you have you're

1334
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:52,240
unmuted go ahead ryan

1335
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,119
yeah i can answer that the san luis

1336
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:54,800
reservoir

1337
00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:56,400
low point improvement project uh

1338
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,319
documents that went out in the public

1339
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,319
they did consider the pacheco

1340
00:47:58,319 --> 00:48:02,400
reservoir expansion as one of their

1341
00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:05,200
alternatives and that one alternative

1342
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,000
is is pretty close to what we considered

1343
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,079
uh or were

1344
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,240
presented as alternative number one the

1345
00:48:08,079 --> 00:48:12,640
downstream earthquake project now that

1346
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:14,480
alternative does not have a direct

1347
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,640
impact to enrico state park

1348
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,000
um however there are two alternatives at

1349
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:21,119
the upstream site

1350
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,200
and 140 000 acre foot reservoirs that do

1351
00:48:21,119 --> 00:48:24,160
encroach into henry co about three

1352
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,200
quarters of a mile

1353
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,920
up the creek and consume um about 20

1354
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,640
acres of the

1355
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,640
the area there

1356
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,280
so we're looking at all the alternatives

1357
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,440
great thank you

1358
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,680
bob may have a follow-up question bob go

1359
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,680
ahead

1360
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:47,359
uh if it's okay for you guys to consider

1361
00:48:44,319 --> 00:48:51,280
flooding 20 acres of co-park

1362
00:48:47,359 --> 00:48:54,240
why not institute your original uh

1363
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,720
damn proposal that would have inundated

1364
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:57,839
uh

1365
00:48:54,720 --> 00:49:01,200
you know i think a thousand acres

1366
00:48:57,839 --> 00:49:04,480
uh you know in the original proposal

1367
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:07,200
uh i think zero is a good number

1368
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,200
how about you

1369
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,720
yeah zero impact is always a good number

1370
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,480
um

1371
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:14,240
however we're looking at these different

1372
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,960
alternatives a thousand acres would

1373
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:17,119
surely be

1374
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,720
a dramatic impact on henry cove state

1375
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:20,960
park and we were cognizant

1376
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:22,160
of the you know protecting the the lands

1377
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,720
there

1378
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,760
so we uh we're considering that as an

1379
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:28,960
alternative and we're going to

1380
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:30,319
assess the impacts all right thank you

1381
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,680
ryan thank you bob for your question

1382
00:49:30,319 --> 00:49:33,200
we're going to move on to our next

1383
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,880
polling question here i'm going to stop

1384
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,920
the sharing of these results and move on

1385
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:40,079
to our next slide

1386
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,920
this is going to be related to

1387
00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:44,559
recreation activities so i'm going to

1388
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:46,559
launch this poll here so

1389
00:49:44,559 --> 00:49:48,800
if it's possible to include as part of

1390
00:49:46,559 --> 00:49:50,400
the project what types of recreation

1391
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,119
activities would you like to see at the

1392
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,440
reservoir

1393
00:49:51,119 --> 00:49:55,359
please check all that apply do you

1394
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,559
prefer to see more hiking and trails

1395

there

1396
00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:00,240

1397
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:03,280
opportunities boating opportunities

perhaps camping equestrian use if you're

1399

into horse riding

1400
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,280
of course you also may have the

1401
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,720
sentiment that you prefer not to have

1402
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,920
any recreation activities at all

1403
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:16,319

another

1418
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,839
five seconds here

1419
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:54,559
three two and one i'm going to end that

many of you like myself enjoy hiking

1422
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:58,559
it's definitely something that we would

1423
00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:01,680
like

1424
00:50:58,559 --> 00:51:02,480
all to see as a potential improvement

1425
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,200
public benefit

1426
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:07,280
for this project if it's possible i see

1427
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,880
camping as well as an opportunity i know

1428
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,119
that many of us are very coupled inside

1429
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:13,280
and can use some outdoor

1430
00:51:11,119 --> 00:51:15,760
enjoyment as well with the camping

1431
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:18,240
fishing is also a strong

1432
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,760
strong support or strong preference

1433
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:23,839
there as a potential

1434
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,839
project benefit with recreation

1435
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:28,880
as well and then so if you have a any

1436
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,960

into the q a

1453
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:09,280
maybe a question about land management i

1454
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,720
know recreation

1455
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:14,079
is something that uh may or may not be

1456
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:16,079
related to land management but i will

1457
00:52:14,079 --> 00:52:18,559
ask that question just so we have uh

1458
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:20,880
just in case if it is related so yvette

1459
00:52:18,559 --> 00:52:22,079
asks is there a land management plan for

1460
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,760
the surrounding land and

1461
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:25,760
that can be inclusive recreation or

1462
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:29,359
other things as well i'm assuming

1463
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:30,960
uh let's see here if if ryan or or todd

1464
00:52:29,359 --> 00:52:33,599
or even chris is this something that

1465
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:36,240
you're able to answer

1466
00:52:33,599 --> 00:52:37,760
yeah currently the the surrounding land

1467
00:52:36,240 --> 00:52:40,000
uh i don't believe there's any

1468
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,599
land management plan uh most of it is is

1469
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,440
private property

1470
00:52:41,599 --> 00:52:45,839
um i'm not sure exactly what

1471
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,440
specifically you're looking for but

1472
00:52:45,839 --> 00:52:49,839
as the project develops we will be

1473
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,640
looking at the the surrounding land and

1474
00:52:49,839 --> 00:52:53,599
how we can

1475
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:56,400
provide mitigation and other management

1476
00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:56,400
of the land

1477
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:01,280
great thank you if we didn't cover it

1478
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,160
quite exactly please feel free to raise

1479
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,920
your hand and provide

1480

a follow-up question in the q a portal

1481
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,200
as well all right we're going to move

1482
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,040

results shares here and i'm gonna move

1487
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:19,200
on to the next one

1488
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,520
this is related to project cost so the

1489
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,119
top

1490
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,559
impacts from the project i'm gonna put

1491
00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:24,400
it on the screen but also read it out

1492
00:53:22,559 --> 00:53:26,400
loud as well

1493
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,640
so the current so i'm gonna read some

1494
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,800
context first before you uh

1495
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,400
respond to the question polls or the

1496
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,000
advance opposed

1497
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,839
the current project cost of the

1498
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,160
particular reservoir expansion project

1499
00:53:35,839 --> 00:53:41,359
is about 2.5 billion

1500
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:43,119
value our did receive 496.6 million in

1501
00:53:41,359 --> 00:53:45,359
provisional funding from the state under

1502
00:53:43,119 --> 00:53:47,359
the water storage investment program

1503
00:53:45,359 --> 00:53:49,280
and is exploring additional funding

1504
00:53:47,359 --> 00:53:50,400
sources and potential cost savings with

1505
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,079
partners

1506
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,720
any gap will be made up through water

1507
00:53:52,079 --> 00:53:56,480
rates please note that valley water is

1508
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:59,200
the county's primary

1509
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,800
water wholesaler and that unless you're

1510
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,880
a private well owner

1511
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,920
future charges or changes to your rates

1512
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,920
will be determined

1513
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,680
by your water retailer again future

1514
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,760
changes to rates will be determined by

1515
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,599
your future retailer

1516
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:13,440
future changes to your rates will be

1517
00:54:11,599 --> 00:54:14,240
determined by your water retailer sorry

1518
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,960
about that

1519
00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:18,559
uh please select the uh statement that

1520
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,559
you agree with the most

1521
00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:22,000
so again i'll read out these statements

1522
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:24,720
so you have um

1523
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,079
where your reference uh you would

1524
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:27,920
support

1525
00:54:26,079 --> 00:54:29,920
a one to five dollar increase in your

1526
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,800
monthly bill to support the expansion of

1527
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:34,160
pacheco

1528
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:37,440
a six to ten dollar increase an 11 to

1529
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:39,839
15 increase a 16 to 20

1530
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,920
increase or you would not support any

1531
00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:43,920
increase in your water bill to help fund

1532
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:46,720
the expansion of particular reservoir

1533
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,599
and again just to remind everyone that

1534
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:50,960
uh

1535
00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:53,040
any rates that are being charged

1536
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,160
again i'll move this slide back one so

1537
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,599
you can see it for your

1538
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:59,119
reference here is that

1539
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:00,480
once you're a private well owner any

1540
00:54:59,119 --> 00:55:02,559
future changes to your race will be

1541
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,960
determined by your water retailer

1542
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:05,599
and give everyone a few more seconds to

1543
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,920
answer

1544
00:55:05,599 --> 00:55:09,920
before we move along here

1545
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:14,559
one too far ahead i'm gonna end the

1546
00:55:12,079 --> 00:55:14,559
polling

1547
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:22,799
various results all right so

1548
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,799
it seems a lot of you will be willing to

1549
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:26,640
support a one to five hour increase in

1550
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,240
your monthly bill to fund the expansion

1551
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,960
particular reservoir

1552
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:31,680
majority of you are plurally of you

1553
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,119
prefer

1554
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,319
not to see any increase in your water

1555
00:55:33,119 --> 00:55:36,000
bill to help fund the expansion

1556
00:55:34,319 --> 00:55:38,799
particular reservoir

1557
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,319
some may be willing to support a six to

1558
00:55:38,799 --> 00:55:42,799
ten dollar increase

1559
00:55:40,319 --> 00:55:43,680
uh some of you also will be supporting

1560
00:55:42,799 --> 00:55:46,160
or will be

1561
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,040
willing to support a 11 to 15 increase

1562
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,640
and then a smaller

1563
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:52,640
portion of you a 16 to 20 increase

1564
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:54,559
we do have a wide spread here amongst

1565
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:56,240
the the results and

1566
00:55:54,559 --> 00:55:58,319
i think it's uh to our benefit to hear

1567
00:55:56,240 --> 00:56:00,480
more about what you may

1568
00:55:58,319 --> 00:56:01,520
be thinking about how you rank your

1569
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:05,119
support and how you

1570
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:07,040
voted on the poll so i'm going to

1571
00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:08,799
open up the floor here if case people

1572
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,400
want to share further of

1573
00:56:08,799 --> 00:56:11,920
how they voted and why they voted the

1574
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:14,559
way they did

1575
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,040
please feel free to raise your hand or

1576
00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:18,400
to

1577
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:18,400
enter into the q a

1578
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:27,520
and the q a uh raising your hand is a

1579
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:27,520
button on your

1580
00:56:28,839 --> 00:56:33,040
toolbar

1581
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:35,200
i don't see anything in the q a and

1582
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:37,920
raise hands let's move on to

1583
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:39,839
our next question i'm gonna stop the

1584
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:42,880
chair here

1585
00:56:39,839 --> 00:56:45,520
now these next two questions

1586
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,720
i'm going to be asking as a tandem so

1587
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,040
bear with me

1588
00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:50,400
it's going to be related to each other

1589
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,960
i'm going to read you a

1590
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,480
statement first before i post the poll

1591
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,839
questions

1592
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,520
the increased storage capacity of

1593
00:56:55,839 --> 00:56:58,559
particular reservoir would nearly equal

1594
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,640
the capacity of

1595
00:56:58,559 --> 00:57:01,760
valley waters and other reservoirs

1596
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,200
combined

1597
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,960
the project will also reduce the

1598
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,760
frequency and severity of

1599
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,280
water storages during droughts protect

1600
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,839
our drinking water supply

1601
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,119
and infrastructure and improve habitat

1602
00:57:11,839 --> 00:57:15,280
for fish

1603
00:57:13,119 --> 00:57:18,720
so i'm going to put that question up

1604
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,720
you'll see two questions at once

1605
00:57:18,799 --> 00:57:21,760
but please select the statement you

1606
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,640
agree with the most for that first

1607
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,960
question

1608
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,480
the second question you'll see is

1609
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:30,079
related to the future

1610
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:31,440
so you may be in support of the project

1611
00:57:30,079 --> 00:57:32,799
strongly or just just

1612
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:36,160
just regular support you might not

1613
00:57:32,799 --> 00:57:38,480
support it at all we do want to know

1614
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,200
what you may feel also about to do in

1615
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,839
the future

1616
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,040
so i'm going to move that forward here

1617
00:57:41,839 --> 00:57:45,520
in this little bit

1618
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,799
what should value i pursue so as you're

1619
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:49,359
thinking about what you

1620
00:57:46,799 --> 00:57:50,799
uh feel about the project itself and

1621
00:57:49,359 --> 00:57:53,359
whether you support it or not

1622
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:54,960
is these are these other options about

1623
00:57:53,359 --> 00:57:55,680
how valuable i actually approach our

1624
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,400
future

1625
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,440
with the water supply so the second

1626
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,040
question is should be on your screen

1627
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,040
make sure you scroll down to see that

1628
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:05,200
question

1629
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:07,040
do you think that value wise should

1630
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,079
pursue partnering with agencies on the

1631
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,160
regional water supply

1632
00:58:08,079 --> 00:58:11,440
project that strengthen the reality of a

1633
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,680
water supply

1634
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,040
or a local multi-benefit water storage

1635
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,880
project such as the expansion of a

1636
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,960
particular reservoir

1637
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,880
or do you also support improving our

1638
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:22,000
reliability through sustainable use of

1639
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,240
recycled and purified

1640
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,240
water or do you also support

1641
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,680
conservation reducing our water use in

1642
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,640
general

1643
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:31,280
so i'm going to give some time here to

1644
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,640
everyone

1645
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,640
to answer these questions

1646
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,520
take a look at our facebook audience to

1647
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:43,200
make sure we don't have any

1648
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:46,480
questions or feedback related to that

1649
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:48,640
and again feel free to uh

1650
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:50,000
to also put your response in the survey

1651
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,920
monkey that's in the chat box

1652
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,280
as well if you want to provide further

1653
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,960
color or if you

1654
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,720
happen to marinate on your response and

1655
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,240
want to provide it later on

1656
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:00,319
i'm going to close the poll here in

1657
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:05,839
about five seconds

1658
00:59:00,319 --> 00:59:10,160
four three two and one

1659
00:59:05,839 --> 00:59:12,160
all right so we do have a a large

1660
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,599
portion of our audience in support

1661
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,880
strong support of the

1662
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:18,319
proposed expansion of pacheco and also

1663
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,720
some of you supporting so totally it

1664
00:59:18,319 --> 00:59:23,119
looks about like 76

1665
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,240
of you support uh the expansion

1666
00:59:23,119 --> 00:59:26,640
particular reservoir

1667
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,480
we do have some some reservations about

1668
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:29,520
that and i do see that here listed as

1669
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,559
well

1670
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:35,680
in terms of how value-wise should

1671
00:59:32,559 --> 00:59:38,240
move for the future

1672
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,119
many of us are supporting uh all four of

1673
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,400
these

1674
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:43,520
um these routes in the future and strong

1675
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,400
supporting course

1676
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:48,079
our reliability of our water supply yeah

1677
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:51,280
but i'm not seeing that on my screen

1678
00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:52,720
oh sorry about that here you go

1679
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,160
i have too many windows open and too

1680
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,200
many screens open sometimes i forget one

1681
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:58,480
button

1682
00:59:55,200 --> 01:00:00,400
so just to recap again uh

1683
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,680
most of us are supporting or most of the

1684
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,520
audience are supporting

1685
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,680
the particular reservoir expansion so in

1686
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:08,240
total about 40 76

1687
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,359
46 on the strong side and 30 under

1688
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:13,119
general support

1689
01:00:09,359 --> 01:00:16,160
with some reservations i see as well

1690
01:00:13,119 --> 01:00:19,440
the second poor the question um

1691
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:21,839
is also in support of

1692
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,599
or well in support of stronger

1693
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:25,839
reliability and shifting realized

1694
01:00:23,599 --> 01:00:27,280
reliability of water supply i did see a

1695
01:00:25,839 --> 01:00:31,040
hand go up

1696
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:32,799
just now but they went away if you have

1697
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:35,040
further thoughts you want to share about

1698
01:00:32,799 --> 01:00:38,720
your response to these questions

1699
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:40,000
um oh for those who can't see the actual

1700
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:42,000
second portion you actually have to

1701
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,680
scroll down on your own screen

1702
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,920
with your mouse or you if you're using a

1703
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:49,119
tablet you have to hold and drag it up

1704
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,119
to see the second result

1705
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,319
i'm going to read out the percentages

1706
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:58,480
for everyone's benefit here

1707
01:00:54,319 --> 01:01:00,240
so that for the first question the

1708
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,400
support of particular reservoir we have

1709
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:05,440
46 percent

1710
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:06,400
in supporting the proposed expansion 30

1711
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,000
percent

1712
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,559
supporting in general the postal

1713
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:13,520
expansion eleven percent

1714
01:01:10,559 --> 01:01:14,480
not supporting the expansion at all uh

1715
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,640
five percent

1716
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,079
strongly opposed to the expansion and

1717
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:20,000
about eight percent of you

1718
01:01:18,079 --> 01:01:22,839
don't know quite just yet uh enough

1719
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:26,160
information to make a decision

1720
01:01:22,839 --> 01:01:28,240
um so just as a reference

1721
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:30,079
eight percent is about three people just

1722
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:33,119
as a uh

1723
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:35,680
as a um a reference point

1724
01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:36,319
moving to the second question here uh

1725
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,680
that

1726
01:01:36,319 --> 01:01:39,680
what should value our pursuit to the

1727
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:43,359
future 81

1728
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:44,559
of those voting supporting uh

1729
01:01:43,359 --> 01:01:45,760
strengthening our reliability over water

1730
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:47,680
supply

1731
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,119
by partnering with agencies on regional

1732
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:52,400
water projects

1733
01:01:49,119 --> 01:01:54,319
um 68 of you support

1734
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:56,880
local multi-benefit water storage

1735
01:01:54,319 --> 01:02:00,160
projects such as pacheco

1736
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:01,760
70 of you support improving our water

1737
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,319
supply reliability through sustainable

1738
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:06,880
use of recycled and purified water

1739
01:02:04,319 --> 01:02:10,079
and then about 65 of you support this

1740
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:11,760
conservation and reducing your water use

1741
01:02:10,079 --> 01:02:13,280

01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,480
well

1754
01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:42,160
in the meantime stephanie i'm going to

1755
01:02:41,119 --> 01:02:44,720

1756
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:46,319
ask your questions out loud and and have

1757
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:50,480
that response to that

1758
01:02:46,319 --> 01:02:52,240
so stephanie earlier you asked uh

1759
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,760
just so before i add to the explain so

1760
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,520
someone uh mentioned in the chat

1761
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,119
about increasing the size of the window

1762
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,079
results that's going to be on your

1763
01:02:57,119 --> 01:03:01,039
screen

1764
01:02:58,079 --> 01:03:02,079
if you see the line square and x in the

1765
01:03:01,039 --> 01:03:04,079
top of that window

1766
01:03:02,079 --> 01:03:05,359
press the square that's going to

1767
01:03:04,079 --> 01:03:08,480
maximize the

1768
01:03:05,359 --> 01:03:10,079
um the polling question for you

1769
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,680
and the responses so you should be able

1770
01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:12,960
to see more of that otherwise you can

1771
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:17,839
scroll using

1772
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:17,839
the wheel on your mouse

1773
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,280
getting some feedback echo here i'm just

1774
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:24,319
going to just temporarily just

1775
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:26,880
mute here we go

1776
01:03:24,319 --> 01:03:27,839
all right i'm thinking it most folks

1777
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,280
should be able to see

1778
01:03:27,839 --> 01:03:31,119
their responses now i'm going to ask

1779
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:33,280
that question from stephanie

1780
01:03:31,119 --> 01:03:35,599
stephanie asked are you going to have

1781
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:37,839
designated locations for workers to park

1782
01:03:35,599 --> 01:03:38,640
place the building materials where is

1783
01:03:37,839 --> 01:03:40,000
everything going to go

1784
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,000
what the construction is going on

1785
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,599
because related to lay down yard

1786
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,680
uh ryan would that be something you

1787
01:03:43,599 --> 01:03:48,880
could uh respond to

1788
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:51,680
yeah absolutely yeah good question um

1789
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:53,760
we do have uh in our layouts we have

1790
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,839
designated staging areas

1791
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,760
borrow source materials storage areas

1792
01:03:55,839 --> 01:04:00,319
disposal sites and everything

1793
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:02,000
shown there and we have started

1794
01:04:00,319 --> 01:04:03,760
compiling some of those drawings that

1795
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,599
will be in the drafty ir that show

1796
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,520
exactly where those areas are

1797
01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:09,359
uh i do not believe any of them are even

1798
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,799
visible from pacheco pass highway just

1799
01:04:09,359 --> 01:04:12,880
to give you an idea of where they are

1800
01:04:10,799 --> 01:04:16,640
they mostly surround the existing

1801
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,640
reservoir and the construction site

1802
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:21,039
great thank you and then the second

1803
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,319
question stephanie

1804
01:04:21,039 --> 01:04:26,480
asked is can i have more

1805
01:04:24,319 --> 01:04:27,520
explanation about where the spillway is

1806
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,559
going to go

1807
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:32,480
is it going to be more than currently is

1808
01:04:30,559 --> 01:04:35,039
it going to go further down the side of

1809
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:37,599
the freeway

1810
01:04:35,039 --> 01:04:40,079
i'm not familiar with the spillway being

1811
01:04:37,599 --> 01:04:43,520
close to the freeway the existing dam

1812
01:04:40,079 --> 01:04:44,319
uh this has a spillway and it's adjacent

1813
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,119
to the dam

1814
01:04:44,319 --> 01:04:48,480
and the existing pacheco reservoir and

1815
01:04:47,119 --> 01:04:50,559
and similarly

1816
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,520
all the alternatives have spillways

1817
01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:53,599
either

1818
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:55,599
adjacent to the dam or within the body

1819
01:04:53,599 --> 01:04:56,880
of the dam in the case of the the hard

1820
01:04:55,599 --> 01:05:00,079
fill type dam

1821
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,960
so again those probably wouldn't even be

1822
01:05:00,079 --> 01:05:03,520
visible from the

1823
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:06,400
from the freeway so i'm not sure exactly

1824
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:09,039
what that references to

1825
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:10,160
great thank you ryan and you just want

1826
01:05:09,039 --> 01:05:12,480
to open the floor now

1827
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:14,240
since uh if if anyone wants to share a

1828
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,680
little further on any of the six polling

1829
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,280
questions and the response

1830
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,640
feel free to or if you have other

1831
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,280
questions you would like to ask about

1832
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,839
the project

1833
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:24,880
now is the time to answer that into q a

1834
01:05:21,839 --> 01:05:27,920
portal raise your hand

1835
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:29,680
for those for your reference

1836
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:32,000
the zoom platform will provide us a

1837
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:34,319
little report on how folks responded and

1838
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,400
the staff will take that to heart to see

1839
01:05:34,319 --> 01:05:37,599
how people are responding to these

1840
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:40,079
questions in general

1841
01:05:37,599 --> 01:05:41,680
you can also provide those responses

1842
01:05:40,079 --> 01:05:44,640
later on through

1843
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:46,319
surveymonkey there's a spanish version

1844
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,839
and the english version we provide that

1845
01:05:46,319 --> 01:05:49,920
into the chat box

1846
01:05:47,839 --> 01:05:51,599
i do see it hand raised now i'm going to

1847
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,079
stop the sharing results of the poll

1848
01:05:51,599 --> 01:05:54,799
questions

1849
01:05:52,079 --> 01:05:56,319
i'm going to enable swanny i'm tired of

1850
01:05:54,799 --> 01:05:58,640
feeding myself talk please i'll meet

1851
01:05:56,319 --> 01:06:02,480
yourself and speak away

1852
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:03,200
hi guys um first of all i want to thank

1853
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,079
you

1854
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:08,400
all and the water district for giving us

1855
01:06:06,079 --> 01:06:12,160
this opportunity

1856
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:14,640
to weigh in on this large project

1857
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:16,480
second of all i'm going to make comment

1858
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:19,760
about the cost

1859
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:22,799
at 2 billion or 3 billion

1860
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:24,960
is is well worth the money for what we

1861
01:06:22,799 --> 01:06:28,960
are going to reap in the future

1862
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:32,480
having a more reliable water supply etc

1863
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:36,160
and then if you compare it to a huge

1864
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,960
failure that california high-speed rail

1865
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:40,079
is

1866
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:43,359
and the amount of billions approaching

1867
01:06:40,079 --> 01:06:47,359
now their their budget is 100 million

1868
01:06:43,359 --> 01:06:50,480
this project is really necessary

1869
01:06:47,359 --> 01:06:53,599
that project is not and if

1870
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:56,400
if we can wrap our heads around spending

1871
01:06:53,599 --> 01:06:58,480
billions in the central valley for

1872
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,119
high-speed rail it won't be high-speed

1873
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,240
rail

1874
01:06:59,119 --> 01:07:06,000
this dam looks and its expenses

1875
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:09,680
look pretty good to me so in keeping

1876
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,400
the costs in context you know this would

1877
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:13,359
be

1878
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:15,920
such a boon to south county especially

1879
01:07:13,359 --> 01:07:18,960
and to our total water supply

1880
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:20,480
so for me the cost is not excessive at

1881
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,839
all for what we're going to get in

1882
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,680
return

1883
01:07:21,839 --> 01:07:25,680
and if you compare it to other state

1884
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:28,000
projects of course this

1885
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,359
isn't a state project that will affect a

1886
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,839
large part of it

1887
01:07:29,359 --> 01:07:34,480
that the costs are definitely in line

1888
01:07:31,839 --> 01:07:37,280
but thank you for the opportunity

1889
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:38,799
to uh give us additional information

1890
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:42,799
allow us to comment

1891
01:07:38,799 --> 01:07:44,799
bye thank you funny

1892
01:07:42,799 --> 01:07:46,240
all right i do have a follow-up question

1893
01:07:44,799 --> 01:07:48,240
from stephanie here

1894
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,280
so stephanie mentioned that the current

1895
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,359
spillway

1896
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:53,039
goes across the freeway it's on the

1897
01:07:51,359 --> 01:07:54,799
property on the south side

1898
01:07:53,039 --> 01:07:57,359
close to where the pipe that it will be

1899
01:07:54,799 --> 01:07:59,280
connected to with the key line

1900
01:07:57,359 --> 01:08:00,799
so i don't know if that helps clarify

1901
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:03,200
things ryan

1902
01:08:00,799 --> 01:08:03,920
um but if we can we can have asked

1903
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,559
stephanie to

1904
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,359
provide her email to provide uh some

1905
01:08:06,559 --> 01:08:10,319
follow-up

1906
01:08:07,359 --> 01:08:11,359
uh from staff as well ryan let me take a

1907
01:08:10,319 --> 01:08:13,119
stab at that one

1908
01:08:11,359 --> 01:08:14,720
okay i think what the stephanie is

1909
01:08:13,119 --> 01:08:16,480
actually referring to is the creek or

1910
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,120
the channel um so particular creek does

1911
01:08:16,480 --> 01:08:19,040
flow down

1912
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,239
across the freeway um all the way you

1913
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,080
know very

1914
01:08:20,239 --> 01:08:24,880
all the way down to lovers lane the

1915
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:26,719
spillway itself is very localized to the

1916
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,560
existing dam it was actually damaged

1917
01:08:26,719 --> 01:08:29,679
back in 2017.

1918
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,920
it's private property so you can't

1919
01:08:29,679 --> 01:08:33,600
really access it but uh there's probably

1920
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:35,920
a virtual tour on our website that you

1921
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:38,159
can see the damage spillway

1922
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:39,759
that's the concrete section all of the

1923
01:08:38,159 --> 01:08:42,239
new spillways are actually going to be

1924
01:08:39,759 --> 01:08:43,839
upstream of the existing reservoir so

1925
01:08:42,239 --> 01:08:44,319
they would be no closer than they are

1926
01:08:43,839 --> 01:08:46,080
now

1927
01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:47,600
and in fact would be farther away but i

1928
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,960
think what you're looking at is the

1929
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,640
creek bed or the creek channel that's

1930
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:52,080
coming across the highway and that would

1931
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,920
continue to do that

1932
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,600
in the same configuration there might

1933
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:57,520
just be additional water flow

1934
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,880
down that creek possibly during um you

1935
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,719
know most likely during summer

1936
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,319
because that's when it's really dry back

1937
01:09:00,719 --> 01:09:04,640
but um i think you're looking at the

1938
01:09:02,319 --> 01:09:04,640
creek

1939
01:09:04,799 --> 01:09:08,480
all right thank you chris and thank you

1940
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:10,960
stephanie stephanie officer her thanks

1941
01:09:08,480 --> 01:09:13,520
for the clarification as well

1942
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:15,839
all right uh i did see a hand go up but

1943
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:18,480
it disappeared

1944
01:09:15,839 --> 01:09:20,480
if if if you happen to think of

1945
01:09:18,480 --> 01:09:21,839
something again the survey monkey and we

1946
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:23,759
do have another meeting tomorrow which

1947
01:09:21,839 --> 01:09:25,040
uh i'm pretty sure our closing speakers

1948
01:09:23,759 --> 01:09:27,920
will remind us about

1949
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,880
as well other than that i'm going to

1950
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,960
give everyone

1951
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,480
a five second count up to raise your

1952
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:35,279
hand or ask a q a

1953
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:36,159
before i turn things back over to chris

1954
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:39,520
four

1955
01:09:36,159 --> 01:09:40,159
three two and one all right thank you

1956
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,400
everyone

1957
01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:44,319
for this open house portion chris the

1958
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:47,600
floor is back to you

1959
01:09:44,319 --> 01:09:48,960
thank you albert i ran that expertly um

1960
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,719
as we're all done with our questions i'd

1961
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,159
like to thank you all for joining us

1962
01:09:50,719 --> 01:09:53,920
and to the valley water staff for the

1963
01:09:52,159 --> 01:09:54,719
presentation and the answers to the

1964
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,159
questions

1965
01:09:54,719 --> 01:09:57,920
we're hosting a second meeting tomorrow

1966
01:09:56,159 --> 01:09:59,120
from 5 30 to 7 30.

1967
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,880
we'll also post all the lists of

1968
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:03,360
questions and answers to our website as

1969
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:06,080
we mentioned earlier at valleywater.org

1970
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:07,920
forward slash pacheco expansion uh with

1971
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:11,199
that i wish everyone a safe

1972
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:13,040
and good rest of your afternoon we do

1973
01:10:11,199 --> 01:10:13,840
have a late question coming in you want

1974
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:17,280
to go with

1975
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:19,280
that last question sure

1976
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,880
sure why not it goes from mike i know

1977
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,159
this is probably a federal project but

1978
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,800
i'd like to get your thoughts on the

1979
01:10:22,159 --> 01:10:24,480
following

1980
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,320
there are pipelines all over the us

1981
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:27,679
moving oil gas etc

1982
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,040
why can't there be pipelines that would

1983
01:10:27,679 --> 01:10:30,800
bring us water from the areas that

1984
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,920
regularly flood to the areas that have

1985
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,840
regular droughts

1986
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,760
forest fires etc sounds like a win-win

1987
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,199
project to me

1988
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:39,120
that's something that they've actually

1989
01:10:37,199 --> 01:10:40,800
looked at quite extensively

1990
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:43,360
usually what prevents those projects

1991
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:45,199
from occurring is that they are

1992
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,800
long runs of pipelines so basically we

1993
01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:47,520
have more water in the north less water

1994
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,520
in the south

1995
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:51,280
so in order to get the water from where

1996
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:53,600
it's plentiful down to where it's um

1997
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,960
not it's a extremely long run of

1998
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:58,239
pipeline

1999
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,640
it's also there are several utilities in

2000
01:10:58,239 --> 01:11:01,600
the way

2001
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,880
freeways uh several jurisdictions that's

2002
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,800
not saying that's not a

2003
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,239
possibility that could happen it just

2004
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,560
takes a tremendous amount of

2005
01:11:06,239 --> 01:11:10,159
coordination so obviously we at valley

2006
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,679
water are focused in the activities that

2007
01:11:10,159 --> 01:11:12,400
we know we can control within the county

2008
01:11:11,679 --> 01:11:13,840
which is why we're

2009
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,159
promoting the pacheco reservoir

2010
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:18,480
expansion that provides us additional

2011
01:11:16,159 --> 01:11:20,000
emergency supply in county uh because

2012
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:21,520
that's a certainty we can control

2013
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,440
and that's why we're kind of going on

2014
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:25,360
this project but that's not a

2015
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:26,719
that's not at all out of left field i

2016
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,239
believe that is an idea that's been

2017
01:11:26,719 --> 01:11:30,000
considered many times over

2018
01:11:28,239 --> 01:11:31,440
and uh in the future that may be the

2019
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,320
work the way the world works you know we

2020
01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:33,840
may be taking

2021
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,960
uh there may be water pipelines that

2022
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,239
stretch all the way from you know the

2023
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,719
canadian border down to

2024
01:11:36,239 --> 01:11:40,080
the mexican border um just having teas

2025
01:11:38,719 --> 01:11:40,880
and what whatnot to serve the areas that

2026
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,080
are necessary

2027
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:44,080
but that takes more of a global

2028
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:47,360
perspective and right now um

2029
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,360
we're just controlling what we can

2030
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,520
and that does look like the last

2031
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,480
question um so we'll go ahead and

2032
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,920
reiterate that

2033
01:11:52,480 --> 01:11:56,320
there will be another opportunity

2034
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:58,159
tomorrow 5 30 please join us

2035
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,000
if you have the time and would like to

2036
01:11:58,159 --> 01:12:02,000
see anything else ask anything else

2037
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,520
and we can definitely see you then

2038
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:07,440
otherwise thank you very much and have a

2039
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:07,440
good afternoon
