What are the current consequences if a water purveyor declines to re-adopt and revise it's UWMP? In the context that SB606/AB1668 prescribe state fines for purveyors who fail to achieve efficient water use, why are UWMPs needed?

01:48:42
Thank you for joining us today, this Zoom meeting has reached capacity. If you have colleagues who would like to attend, we have set up an overflow zoom meeting to ensure that everyone can view the presentations and provide comments through the chat panel. Please see below a registration link to the overflow meeting:https://csus.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwsduCrrzouHtRGNmWZaITFyjb6gHp_4RzS

01:49:45
DWR sent this message to their UWMP listserv earlier today.

01:51:13
Will you be sending out a copy of the presentation?

01:54:02
DWR can provide the presentations. They will also provide a recording of this meeting.

01:54:52
This presentation is being recorded and it will be available. The presentation will also be available. Currently we make them available via a stakeholder sharepoint site that interested parties can gain access. Request access to the stakeholder sharpoint site by emailing: wue@water.ca.gov.

01:55:36
We can also directly email these to individual requestors and we will consider just emailing all registrants - considering the size of the list, we will try and identify the most efficient option.

01:58:27
Is reporting of potable vs. non-potable optional, or are just the use of the planning tool tables optional?

01:58:52
As noted in the slide, the potable/non-potable is optional

02:04:14
Can you expand on climate change info needed?

02:04:35
ditto Jeanne please

02:05:16
Appendix I has info on climate change

02:05:53
We plan to add a “lay person” synopsis section at the start of each chapter. This would summarize the chapter contents.

02:06:45
Are the excel spreadsheets for the optional planning tool and the required submittal tables available now; if not, when will they be available?

02:07:07
Will there be a discussion of climate change impacts on the State Water Project Deliveries? Should be done at state level for consistency.

02:07:09
The excel draft versions of the tables are already available via the public WUEdata portal (https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/) under Urban Water Management Plans, Resources

02:08:12
When sections are not applicable to a supplier, such as groundwater, recycled water, and delta supplies, what is the preferred way to specify that these are not applicable. We could simply add a statement under each section as “not applicable”. Would that be an appropriate solution?

02:08:46
The link for the methodologies document link fails.

02:10:08
You have to delete the parenthesis for the link to work

02:10:53
https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/manage_resources.asp?reportType=urban

02:10:55
For the Covid-19 pandemic, we suggest adding a discussion about changes in water use patterns, in section 3.4.2 “Other Social, Economic, and Demographic Factors”.

02:11:19
Can you elaborate a little on the population tool versus DOF vs (for my area) SANDAG?

02:11:55
Will the Appendices be released for review, and if so, when?

02:12:40
1. Regarding 2020 population calculations, it appears that various methods can be used “until the 2020 Census data is released” (p. 5-7). If a supplier uses one interim method, will they have to replace it eventually with 2020 Census data? If so, when is the Census data and DWR’s Population Tool expected to be available? The Guidebook’s indication of a tool “in adequate time for 2020 UWMP preparation” (p. 5-8) is not clear.a. It appears 2020 population can be calculated using ACS and DOF estimates if an agency overlaps >95% of the boundary (p. 5-8). Can an agency not overlapping >95% use ACS data to inform a better persons per connection factor than using the 2010 census per connection factor?

02:13:45
the appendicies are already posted on the same webpage with the main guidebook:https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/Urban-Water-Use-Efficiency/Urban-Water-Management-Plans

02:16:06
What about appendix for guidance on Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessments?

02:16:25
you mentioned that there was a SB-x77 2020 verification form due Dec 2020. Where is that spreadsheet available?

02:16:28
I’ve seen each shown twice in terms of water supply source, but was referenced as more focused on surface supplies. Does this also mean each groundwater source (ie singular wells)?

02:17:15
SB x 7-7 form here: https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/manage_resources.asp?reportType=urban

02:22:07
is it a requirement to calculate the energy intensity within their service area?

02:23:15
Does that logic apply to private pumping?

02:25:09
At least one of our sources (Hetch Hetchy) is completely gravity fed to our service District and is a net energy producer. Any guidance on how to include this?

02:26:26
When I assess water demands and projections, I always remove demands met by other/privat sources

02:27:34
yes entered as a negative

02:29:21
There's one from Timothy Shaw at 12:44 that was missed

02:29:29
Comments on the Draft Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook are due September 21, 2020. Please submit comments to uwmphelp@water.ca.gov.

02:30:24
I don't see the appendix for guidance on how to write up our procedures for the Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessments. Is that appendix coming out soon?

02:30:44
guidance for the annual water supply and demand assessments is being worked on and will be an addendum-type document to this guidebook.

02:30:55
thank you!

02:31:25
The sbx7-7 forms are available where the UWMP tables are on the WUEdata portal

02:33:34
SBX7-7 forms here: https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/manage_resources.asp?reportType=urban

02:34:03
What changes (to the draft) do you anticipate for the final 2020 UWMP Guidebook?

02:35:30
when will it be finalized? HOw can we incorporate it by July1?

02:39:38
Are the WSCP elements applicable to both Retailers and Wholesalers?

02:39:49
Can the WSCP be adopted as a chapter of the UWMP, rather than stand alone?

02:41:27
It is unclear what wholesale suppliers are required to report on per Section 8.0- WHOLESALE ONLY: “This chapter may not apply to Wholesale Suppliers if they have not received the consent of all their member agencies” (p. 8-6). Can you plainly state or list what is required for a wholesale agency in this section specifically?

02:42:20
will the powerpoint be made available for reference?

02:42:38
I second Rosalyn Prickett's question

02:42:50
PPT and recording will be available

02:43:56
If an agency proposes certain measures in their adopted WSCP, but does not codify them, is that acceptable? I assume this would serve in the place of the old requirement to provide a "draft water shortage contingency resolution or ordinance".

02:44:58
For suppliers who have already enacted permanent conservation measures, is it at the suppliers discretion determine the appropriate shortage level that is considered normal?

02:46:14
CPUC agencies “need prior approval by the PUC before adopting regulations and restrictions of this type” (CWC Section 357). Perhaps CPUC regulated agencies can weigh in, is this achievable before July 2021, and does it require inclusion in a rate case or other timebound process? If it is not achievable by July 21, can a CPUC regulated agency submit a draft WSCP that is not yet adopted with indication that it is being considered by the CPUC and will be amended once approved?

02:46:40
Once the Guidebook is final, it would be helpful to have a separate webinar to just walk through the changes in the WSCP chapter, and how to appropriately address them

02:47:16
Are the requirements/procedures to adopt to adopt a WSCP the same as a UWMP ?

02:47:20
Existing LHMPs and MMPs can be used to satisfy the seismic requirement (p. 8-18). Is there a central location where an agency can look up if there are existing LHMPs overlapping their service area?

02:51:43
For the reliability analysis, is the definition for the single dry year (lowest water supply year) a new standard or interpretation by DWR? This definition is not specified in the CWC

02:52:24
If WSCP adopted as a chapter of the UWMP - is a separate Board adoption action required?

03:02:34
Thomas - our City adopts them in one Resolution …

03:02:54
But calls them out separately in that Reso

03:03:28
Is the Methodologies document that was provided with the 2010 UWMP the correct document to use to inform how to comply with SBx7-7 for an Agency that has merged with another agency or annexed areas?

03:03:39
Re: appendix P - the current Appendix P available online is a different topic

03:06:35
Can you please clarify what is required for the WSCP by 12/31/20? Maybe I misheard what you stated about deadlines for the WSCP

03:10:01
So if the agency has a drought contingency plan already as a stand alone document, we just have to evaluate it, not re-invite it correct? and attach it as an appendix

03:10:09
In Chapter 10, you're noting that the WSCP adoption should be documented. However, if I'm understanding correctly, Sabrina stated that the WSCP could be approved after July 2021, as necessary. Can you please clarify? Can the WSCP in fact be adopted after July 2021?

03:11:14
Where in the UWMP does this Appendix material go/fit?

03:13:01
Do we have to do this if we participate in Delta Conveyance and Sites Reservoir?

03:16:07
If we keep our current stages of our water shortage contingency plan, do we need to include the crosswalk as part of the stand alone Water Shortage Contingency Plan or should it be in the UWMP document?

03:17:36
If an Agency receives water from the State Water Project, does that automatically define the Agency as participating in or receiving water from a 'covered action'?

03:17:38
Is the update of the 2015 plan only recommended for those using water from the Delta?

03:19:38
Would going back and amending the 2015 UWMP potentially negatively impact developers that prepared EIRs and WSA’s relying on the 2015 UWMP?

03:21:54
Just want to clarify: water use efficiency 'supply volume' is the amount of water a reporting agency determines to be its estimated water savings attributed to WUE (conservation) efforts?

03:22:45
Are other transfers, exchanges or imports considered waters that contribute to regional self-reliance (e.g., all non-Delta supplies)?

03:28:52
where can we view the recorded link?

03:31:12
As a general comment, the use of Required and Recommended throughout the Guidebook is helpful, but in many places the Required seems to also touch on recommendations. it would be helpful in the final guidebook to make it very clear what is required in the Plan and which tables are required.

03:33:03
When State Water Project water is sold to another contractor, there is a return amount of water required. How will this be handled in the plan

03:33:36
So we have about 6 months to prepare and adopt. Reasonable?

03:33:37
You addressed tables for Appendix C, stated they will be posted, but will all Excel tables be posted and available for download in the near term (including Appendix O - Energy)? Or will some of the tables not be available to use until the spring.

03:33:57
Alexi tables are here https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/manage_resources.asp?reportType=urban

03:34:23
thanks !

03:34:31
Thank you, this was very informative.

03:34:46
are tables for appendix C available in the last shared link?

03:34:51
thank you!

03:34:52
Thank you for the workshop.

03:35:14
Thanks!

03:35:24
This workshop left me with several more questions. More workshops would be helpful.

03:35:43
Thank you for the workshop!!!!

03:35:50
Thank you!!

03:36:03
Thank you - would definitely be interested in a workshop focused on the WSCP
