Executive Summary This report is submitted pursuant to CWC Section 10609.42 which directs DWR to identify small water suppliers and rural communities that may be at risk of drought and water shortage vulnerability and propose recommendations and information in support of improving the drought preparedness of small water suppliers and rural communities.
Specifically, Section 10609.42 requires:
1. DWR, in consultation with the State Water Resources ControlBoard (State Water Board) and other relevant State and localagencies and stakeholders, identify small water suppliersand areas of households on private supplies (termed “ruralcommunities” in the legislation, and also called “self-suppliedcommunities in this report”) that may be at risk of droughtand water shortage. DWR must then notify counties andgroundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) of suppliers orcommunities that may be at risk within its jurisdiction and maymake the information publicly accessible on the website (CWCSection 10609.42[a]).
2. DWR, in consultation with the State Water Board andstakeholders, develop recommendations and guidance relatingto the development and implementation of countywidedrought and water shortage contingency plans to addressthe planning needs of small water suppliers and ruralcommunities. The legislation directs DWR to explain how theplanning needs of small water suppliers and ruralcommunities can be integrated into complementary existingplanning processes (CWC Section 10609.42[b]).
To assess drought and water shortage vulnerability, a methodology for analyzing risk was developed and small water suppliers and self-supplied communities statewide were evaluated for their relative risk of drought and water shortage. Each supplier and community examined received a numeric risk score, which is derived from a set of indicators developed from a stakeholder process. Indicators used to estimate risk represented three key components: (1) the exposure of suppliers and
Page 17 of 49
communities to hazardous conditions and events, (2) the physical and social vulnerability of suppliers and communities to the exposure, and (3) recent history of shortage and drought impacts. The risk scores for individual small water suppliers and self-supplied communities were calculated separately, using the same methodology but different risk indicators.
Importantly, the methodology used for analyzing risk, and this report as well, do not define thresholds whereby certain small water suppliers and self-supplied communities are considered “at risk” of drought and water shortage and others are not. Instead, the methodology inherently recognizes that all communities in California face some risk of drought and water shortage and thus provides a tool to calculate the relative risk of these suppliers and communities. Future thresholds may be defined and utilized to determine which suppliers and communities are particularly at risk of drought and water shortage; but for now, DWR believes the State is best served by understanding the relative risk of its small water suppliers and self-supplied communities and, perhaps more importantly, having a common methodology for calculating risk that can be applied at different levels of government and in different contexts.
In total, 4,100 small water suppliers were examined for their relative risk of drought and water shortage. The results show that a vast majority of the State’s counties (52 of the 58 counties) have small water suppliers in the top 10th percentile of risk scores based on the risk scoring method described above. As intimated above, the 10% cut-off is not intended to be viewed as a threshold whereby small water suppliers scoring in the top 10% are considered at risk of drought and water shortage and those outside the top 10% are not at risk. Instead, the 10% cut off is useful for summarizing results and providing an example of how the scoring methodology can be used. The primary benefit of this scoring exercise is to offer local and regionally-specific information to assist with drought and water shortage planning. Below, are some statistics among those scoring in the top 10% risk that offer a snapshot of patterns notable statewide:
• 68% are in a fractured rock area, and many of these high-risksuppliers on fractured rock rely on groundwater
• Over half of the high-risk suppliers located in groundwater basins arein high subsidence areas and/or basins identified by DWR in Bulletin118 as subject to critical conditions of overdraft.
Page 18 of 49
• Over half (58%, 241) of the top at-risk suppliers are in high or veryhigh-risk zone for wildfire, as defined by CalFire.
• To evaluate rural community risk (referred to as self-suppliedcommunity risk), 5000 Census Block Groups (the geographical unitused by the United States Census Bureau, typically between 600 and3,000 people) with record of a domestic well (1970-2019) wereexamined. The results of the evaluation show that 50 of the 58counties contain one or more Block Groups that scored within the top10% at risk. Counties with the highest number of Block Groups withinthe top 10% include:
o Riverside County (60 Block Groups)o Kern County (55 Block Groups)o San Diego County (33 Block Groups)o Tuolumne County (30 Block Groups)o San Luis Obispo County (24 Block Groups)o Stanislaus County (24 Block Groups)o Lake County (15 Block Groups)o Madera County (14 Block Groups)o Monterey County (14 Block Groups)o Siskiyou County (13 Block Groups)
To develop recommendations and guidance on drought planning for small water systems and self-supplied communities, DWR utilized a public process involving State agencies, cities, counties, small communities, small water suppliers and other stakeholders by forming a stakeholder advisory group, the County Drought Advisory Group (CDAG). The CDAG had many discussions on the best way to improve preparation of small communities for the next drought. It offered a venue and process for close collaboration between State agencies and local agencies, as well as input from other key stakeholders.
Throughout the stakeholder process the four-phase model of disaster risk management helped to frame the drought and water shortage planning approach: (1) Mitigation, Preparation, and Capacity Building; (2) Forecasting and Monitoring; (3) Drought and Water Shortage Response; and (4) Recovery and Relief (Wilhite 2000 & 2014).
Page 19 of 49
State agencies and stakeholders alike agreed that additional planning requirements for the suppliers and communities for drought preparedness and long-term resiliency should leverage and extend existing processes when possible. The recurring theme in the recommendations in this report is to incorporate water shortage contingency plans into existing planning documents for small water suppliers serving 1,000 to 3,000 service connections and emergency response plans for all small water suppliers. Leveraging existing DWR processes to develop and implement water shortage contingency planning and State Water Board processes to develop and implement emergency response planning will help minimize costs to both local and State agencies.
Rural communities with water systems serving fewer than 15 service connections and self-supplied households are likely to be unable to perform meaningful water shortage planning themselves, so integrating planning within existing County plans is more feasible. Counties use a variety of tools to plan for and mitigate against future disasters and hazards; including local hazard mitigation plans, general plan elements, emergency operations plans, climate adaptation plans, Groundwater Sustainability Plans, and others. Providing counties the flexibility to use one or more of these plans is intended to leverage existing processes and organizational capacities in efforts to improve preparation for future droughts.
Regional planning solutions that transcend county boundaries were discussed towards the end of the CDAG stakeholder process. Further discussion is necessary to advance a holistic and regional approach for drought and water shortage planning solutions that include urban water suppliers, small water suppliers and self-supplied communities.
Because Tribes are sovereign governments with data and regulatory systems that are not structured within the State or Counties, their planning systems will be different. This report proposes that Indian Health Services continues to promote the water shortage contingency plan they developed during the last drought.
Technical assistance for helping approximately 250 small community water systems, serving 1,000 to 2,999 service connections, develop water shortage contingency plans would cost approximately $1 to $2 million. Additional funding would be needed to help small community water
Page 20 of 49
systems serving less than 1,000 service connections and noncommunity water systems that are schools for technical assistance to develop their emergency response plans and comply with minimum resiliency requirements.
The recommendations in this report, as shown in Tables 1 – 4 below, should be considered in the context of other statewide efforts around water including water resiliency, water conservation, safe and affordable drinking water, Human Right to Water, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, and biodiversity.
Page 21 of 49
Table 1 Summary of Recommendations for Small Water Suppliers S1. All small community water systems serving 15 to 2,999 service connections and noncommunity water system that are schools, should be required to develop an Emergency Response Plan and a drought supply evaluation to submit to the State Water Board. S2. State Water Board should work with small community water systems serving less than 1,000 service connections and noncommunity water systems that are schools to establish minimum resiliency measures. S3. All small community water systems serving 1,000 to 2,999 service connections should be required to develop a drought and water shortage contingency plan and coordinate with groundwater sustainability agencies where applicable. S4. The State should provide technical assistance to small water systems on drought and water shortage planning, preparation and response. S5. In developing a water shortage contingency plan, small water systems should use the proposed annual statewide drought and water shortage risk assessment prepared by the State, unless justifiably better data is available to improve drought and water shortage resiliency. S6. All water suppliers should be required to provide and maintain accurate water service area boundaries on a designated site to be maintained by the State Water Board. S7. The State should make funding available to small community water systems and noncommunity water system that are schools to install additional infrastructure to improve drought and water shortage preparedness and response (e.g., backup well, water meters).
Page 22 of 49
Table 2 Summary of Recommendations for Self-supplied Communities R1. Counties should complete drought and water shortage contingency plans for self-supplied communities, specify drought as a risk in their LHMPs, and have Emergency Operations Plans covering the entire county that include planned response to drought and water shortage conditions. R2. The County or State should provide technical assistance to self-supplied households to improve reliability of their water supply. R3. Update statutory requirements and guidelines for General Plans to ensure that drought resilience and water shortage contingency policies or implementation programs are incorporated into the safety element, conservation element, or other appropriate elements. R4. Counties and regional planning agencies should use the proposed annual statewide drought and water shortage risk assessment prepared by the State to prioritize needs for drought and water shortage contingency planning. R5. The State should improve its understanding of domestic well locations and well depths.
Table 3 Summary of Recommendations for Tribes T1. Tribes are encouraged to develop drought and water shortage contingency plans and formally adopt them through a resolution of the Tribal Council or other Tribal authority with jurisdiction. T2. The State should coordinate with Indian Health Services when preparing the proposed annual statewide drought and water shortage risk assessment to also include tribal water systems.
Table 4 Summary of General Recommendations G1. The State should conduct an annual statewide drought and water shortage risk assessment and generate risk scores for each small water system, noncommunity water system that is a school, and self-supplied community using best available statewide information. G2. Drought and water shortage contingency planning and response should be incorporated into implementation of the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund. G3. Establish a standing interagency drought and water shortage task force to facilitate proactive State planning and coordination, both for pre-drought planning and post-drought emergency response composed of Department of Water Resources, State Water Board, California Public Utilities Commission, California Office of Emergency Services and Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.

california legislature—2019–20 regular session
ASSEMBLY BILL No. 2182
Introduced by Assembly Member Blanca Rubio
February 11, 2020
An act to add Article 9.4 (commencing with Section 42005) to Chapter 3 of Part 4 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to nonvehicular air pollution.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2182, as introduced, Blanca Rubio. Emergency backup generators: water and wastewater facilities: exemption.
Existing law imposes various limitations on emissions of air contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and nonvehicular sources. Existing law generally designates air pollution control and air quality management districts with the primary responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than vehicular sources. Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to identify toxic air contaminants that are emitted into the ambient air of the state and to establish airborne toxic control measures to reduce emissions of toxic air contaminants from nonvehicular sources.
This bill would exempt the operation of an alternative power source, as defined, to provide power to a critical facility, as defined, from any local, regional, or state regulation regarding the operation of that source. The bill would authorize providers of essential public services, in lieu of compliance with applicable legal requirements, to comply with the maintenance and testing procedure set forth in the National Fire Protection Association Standard for Emergency and Standby Power System, NFPA 110, for alternative power sources designated by the providers for the support of critical facilities.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the line 2 following: line 3 (a) Due to climate change, California’s risk for catastrophic line 4 wildfires has increased substantially and California’s wildfire line 5 season is now longer and more intense. line 6 (b) Catastrophic wildfires have had and continue to have an line 7 enormous impact on California, taking and threatening life, line 8 property, and our environment, and costing the state billions of line 9 dollars.
line 10 (c) Public safety power shutoffs and deenergization events, line 11 while necessary to protect California from catastrophic wildfires, line 12 impact essential public services, including firefighting, police, and line 13 water services, which are necessary to respond to a wildfire. line 14 (d) Given the importance of essential public services in line 15 responding to wildfire, it is crucial to ensure the essential public line 16 service provider has access to alternative power sources during line 17 public safety power shutoffs and other deenergization events to line 18 maintain California’s ability to respond to wildfire. line 19 SEC. 2. Article 9.4 (commencing with Section 42005) is added line 20 to Chapter 3 of Part 4 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety line 21 Code, to read: line 22 line 23 Article 9.4. Standby Electric Generation line 24 line 25 42005. For purposes of this article, the following terms apply: line 26 (a) “Alternative power source” means equipment that is used line 27 by an essential public service provider to produce electricity to line 28 directly run a critical facility during a deenergization event. line 29 (b) “Critical facility” means a facility necessary or convenient line 30 in providing essential public services, including, but not limited line 31 to, facilities such as police stations, fire stations, emergency line 32 operations centers, water and wastewater treatment facilities, line 33 incident command posts, and communication systems used to line 34 support essential public services.

line 1 (c) “Deenergization event” means the loss of electricity to a line 2 critical facility due to an emergency, including, but not limited to, line 3 wildfire. line 4 (d) “Essential public service” means fire prevention, protection, line 5 and response, law enforcement, provision of water and wastewater line 6 service, disaster medical response, and other emergency response line 7 services. line 8 (e) “Water and wastewater facilities” mean water and wastewater line 9 facilities critical to maintain public health and safety standards,
line 10 including, but not limited to, treatment plants, pumping stations line 11 and other storage facilities, and water facilities needed to maintain line 12 water service and water pressure necessary for firefighting. line 13 42007. (a) Notwithstanding other law, the use of an alternative line 14 power source by a provider of essential services to operate a critical line 15 facility during a deenergization event shall not be subject to any line 16 local, regional, or state regulation regarding the operation of an line 17 alternative power source. line 18 (b) Notwithstanding other law, in lieu of compliance with any line 19 applicable legal requirements, a provider of essential public service line 20 may comply with the maintenance and testing procedure set forth line 21 in the National Fire Protection Association Standard for Emergency line 22 and Standby Power Systems, NFPA 110, or any successor standard line 23 adopted by the association, for an alternative power source line 24 designated by the provider for the support of a critical facility line 25 during a deenergization event.

6. CA Water Systems Alliance Update GM West gave the report noting that the Steering Committee generally meets monthly to discuss emerging issues. She further reported on the upcoming Advocacy Workshop scheduled for February 20, 2020 and new legislation introduced by Herzberg Senate Bill 971. SB 971 would require the adoption of a Water Shortage Contingency Plan. It also establishes the Count Drought Task Force. This is a state mandated local program. By January 2020 the state was to produce a list of “at-risk” suppliers but the Agency had not yet received its “score”. The other bill discussed was AB2182 concerning exemptions for water districts from air quality standards for emergency equipment. No Public comment.
7. Prop. 1 / Round 1 Grant Application Update
Concerning the Prop. 1/Round 1 Planning Grant Application, the Agency has not yet heard the results of our competition for funding from the Colorado Region. GM West continued by discussing the progress of work on the Prop. 1 Planning Grant Project. Progress to date including the “kick-off” meeting with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), initiation of the CEQA/NEPA document processes, planning for biological, cultural and paleontological field surveys and finalization of alignments for the blending pipeline and the interconnections between Bighorn and Goat Mountain. With respect to BLM it was reported that if the Agency can use an existing Frontier Communications (aka Verizon) telecommunications easement across the Pipes Wash area (Winters Rd. /Tracy Blvd.) then the NEPA engagement might be limited to a Categorical Exclusion which decreases the processing time significantly. No Public comment.
8. Disadvantaged Community Involvement Grant Update (DACI) Update
GM West gave the report noting all field work has been completed and all water quality analysis have been received and transmitted to the consultant, BESST, Inc. Staff is awaiting the final report from the consultant. No Public comment.

10. Public Comment Period
No Public comment. 11. Verbal Reports - Including Reports on Courses/Conferences/Meetings
General Manager West reported on her work to evaluate water consumption tiers for a future rate increase. This is in response to the increasing number of large agricultural operations within the Agency and the thought that such operations are non-community, profit based industries. Since the use is non-beneficial perhaps there should be tiers which cover the cost to import and recharge more water.
12. Adjournment - Vice President Burkhart adjourned the meeting at 11:11 am.
