SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES TO
IMPLEMENT THE CHINO RECHARGE BASIN. MASTER PLAN
RECOMMENDATION: Acting as the governing body of the Flood Control District (District),
approve agreement between the District, inland Empire Utilities Agency, Chino Basin Water
Conservation District, and Chino Basin Watermaster for Operation and Maintenance of Facilities
to implement the Chino Basin Recharge Master Plan.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The projected population in the Santa Ana Watershed area is
projected to increase by 2,000,000 over the next 25 years. To adequately provide water for the
growth, efforts must be taken to capture storm water and reclaimed water and recharge it into the
Chino Groundwater Basin to replenish the groundwater. On January 29, 2002, the Board
approved a Memorandum of Agreement with the water agencies that are a party to this
agreement to allow Flood Control Facilities to be used for this recharge program as stated in the
Memorandum of Agreement. The present agreement sets forth the conditions for reimbursement
of Maintenance and Operations costs to the District and other parties for the recharge program.
The aareernent also establishes the Groundwater Recharge Coordinating Committee that mill
plan and coordinate the schedules for recharge water conveyance in district channels and
diversion into District basins. Each party is entitled to appoint one member and one alternate
member to the Committee. The term of the agreement is 30 years.
REVIEW BY OTHERS: This item was reviewed by Deputy County Counsel Charles S.
S0012StiCO on December 6, 2002 and by the County Administrative Office (Tom Forster,
Administrative Analyst) on December 9, 2002.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There will be no financial impact to the District. The cost to improve the
flood control facilities, to recharge the water, and the construction of the water distribution
systems necessary to transport water to the flood control facilities will be at no expense to the
District. Any additional maintenance and operational costs incurred by the District will be
reimbursed by the Chino Basin Water Agencies,

RESOLVEDNOW THEREFORE BE IT PARTIES HEREBYAGREE
1. Definitions. For the purposes of this Agreement the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
a. The term "Facilities" means facilities that may be used for
groundwater recharge, which may include basins, channels,
diversion structures, rubber dams and other facilities and
appurtenances owned or operated by any of the Parties in the
Chino Basin.
b. The term "Supplemental Water" means both water imported to
Chino Basin from outside Chino Basin watershed, and recycled
water.
C. The term "Rainy Season" typically means the six-month period from
October 15 to April 15, however any time that weather predictions
indicate that a storm is developing that may be capable of
producing runoff shall be considered as occurring within the "Rainy
Season."
2. Purpose. Except as otherwise provided herein, and for the purpose of
groundwater recharge, this Agreement, including any amendments and permits
necessary to operate the Facilities, will govern the groundwater recharge related
operation and maintenance of the Facilities identified in Attachment 2.
2
3. Use of Facilities for Recharge. In recognition of the capital investment
being made by Watermaster, by IEUA, and by the State of California through grant
funding to improve the overall recharge capabilities of SBCFCD, CBWCD and IEUA
Facilities and to construct pipelines and appurtenances to convey Supplemental Water
and native storm water to the Facilities for recharge, and subject to the priorities set
forth in Section III and VI of this Agreement, the Parties will make all reasonable efforts
to assure that the Facilities are made available to the maximum practicable extent for
groundwater recharge.
4. Flood Control Priority. The priority for use of capacity in the Facilities is
first for flood control, second for recharge of native water and third for recharge of
Supplemental Water. To protect property and public safety, in the event of unplanned or
emergency situations, each of the Parties will have the sole authority to determine when
their respective Facilities are available for recharge of Supplemental Water and to
release water or to order the cessation of the delivery of Supplemental Water to
maintain the full flood control capacity of their Facilities.
5. Overlapping Agreements. During those times when the Watermaster
and/or the IEUA are not physically utilizing the Facilities for the recharge of
Supplemental Water, the SBCFCD, CBWCD or IEUA may have and enter into
subsequent and overlapping Agreements for use of their respective Facilities with
others having similar needs. Provided however, actual use, as opposed to planned or
scheduled use, of the Facilities by the Watermaster and/or IEUA for spreading
Supplemental Water shall take precedence over all other uses except those related to
controlling, managing, and recharging local storm water flows, or scheduled or
emergency maintenance. Notwithstanding. the above, the Parties acknowledge that
recharge of Supplemental Water in the Chino Basin may only take place after approval
by the Watermaster.
3
6. Ownership and Easements. All Facilities owned by the SBCFCD are
under the exclusive control of its Board of Supervisors and its designated officers and
employees and, except as agreed -to herein, no other person shall interfere with,
regulate, or control any of such Facilities, or the water flowing therein, without the
special written authority from the Board of Supervisors or its duly authorized
representatives. All Facilities owned by the CBWCD are under the exclusive control of
its Board of Directors and its designated officers and employees and, except as
agreed -to herein, no other person shall interfere with, regulate, or control any of such
Facilities, or the water flowing therein, without the special written authority from the
Board of Directors of the CBWCD or its duly authorized representatives. All Facilities
owned by IEUA are under the exclusive control of its Board of Directors and its
designated officers and employees and, except as agreed -to herein, no other person
shall interfere with, regulate, or control any of such Facilities, or the water flowing
therein, without the special written authority from the Board of Directors of IEUA or its
duly authorized representatives.

7. Accountina for Recharged Water. Watermaster will be responsible for
the accounting of all water recharged at the Facilities, including any water that is lost for
whatever reason.
®. Monitoring at Facilities. IEUA will supply SBCFCD with a Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) monitoring and control system operating console
along with maintenance and technical support. IEUA will also supply CBWCD and
Watermaster with a SCADA monitoring console along with maintenance and technical
support. The SBCFCD system will have a maintenance lock -out feature so that all gate
and dam controls can not be overridden, but can be locked closed during maintenance
operations. Where SCADA monitoring sensors can provide data for flood control
purposes, IEUA will allow, where possible, their connection to the SBCFCD Automated
11
Local Evaluation in Real Time (ALERT) system. IEUA will have access to information
from the ALERT system. To the greatest extent possible, all information systems will
share data with the other Parties.
9. Approval of Improvements to Facilities. Where Watermaster or IEUA
desires to provide improvements within SBCFCD or CBWCD Facilities, they shall
submit plans and specifications thereof for SBCFCD or CBWCD review and approval.
The approving Party thereafter agrees to allow such improvements and to issue any
necessary permits in an expeditious manner, and Watermaster or IEUA agrees to
assume all costs in connection therewith. With the SBCFCD's or CBWCD's
concurrence, Watermaster or IEUA may contract with any other public or private entity
or entities to provide said improvements. If Watermaster or IEUA has not already
obtained a permit to perform the improvements in .SBCFCD Facilities, then the entity
who is contracted to perform the improvements shall apply for any required permits.
Whenever Watermaster or IEUA contracts with others to perform work within SBCFCD
or CBWCD Facilities, they shall ensure that the contractors comply with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and any relevant permits prior to entry upon such
Facilities. When Watermaster or IEUA contracts for work, any and all procurement of
labor, equipment, materials and services necessary to carry out construction of

AND
RECHARGE MASTER FLAN IMPLEMENTATION
MEMORANDUM of AGREEMENT
The purpose of this Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is: to define some of the operational policies and actions
necessary to implement Program dement 2 — Develop and lmplament Comprehensive recharge Program of the
Optimum Basin Management Program (OBMP) for the Chino Basin, to define the PARTIES that are tasked with .its
impiementation and the specific actions to be taken by each party. The PARTIES that are signatories to this MOA
include the Chino Basin Watermaster (Watermaster), the Chino Basin Water Conservation District (CBWCD), Inland
Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA), and the San Bernardino County Flood Control District (SBCFCD). Watermaster,
CBWCD, IEUA and SBCFCD are collectively referred -to herein as the PARTIES. ,
RECITALS
Whereas the need for a comprehensive recharge program is described in the OBMP Phase i report dated August 1
1999 and the Peace Agreement dated June 29, 200C; and ,
Where Bs Watermaster completed a Recharge Master Plan Phase It Report dated August 2001 which_ contains
descriptions of the existing and potential recharge facilities in the Chino Basin; and
Whereas the PARTIES, in accordance with their respective Acts and Powers, desire to cooperate in a program to
implement certain portion=_ of the Recharge Master Pian for the purpose of assuring that the Chino Basin has adequate
recharge capabilities to meet its future needs; and
Whereas increasing the yield of the Chino. Basin by increased capture of storm flow will improve ambient water
quality and increase the assimilative capacity of the Chino Basin; and
Whereas the Recharge Master Plan investigations demonstrated that the best and feast expensive way to put this
available storm flow runoff to benencial use is groundwater recharge; and
Whereas IEUA, acting on behalf of the Watermaster, has submitted an application for Proposition 13 grant funding to
pay for half of the capital cost of the recharge facility improvements, up to $1.S million, described in the Recharge
Master Plan; and
Whereas IEUA will retain a design consultant in December 2001 to complete a preliminary design report; and
Whereas the final design and specifications for the recharge facility improvements must be completed by April 15,
2D02 to ensure that the projects can be constructed and that iEUA will receive funding under Proposition 13 for thcsa
facilities.
Now THERE>=ORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
L The PARTIES to this MCA hereby agree that the flood control function of the various basins or facilities
capable of artificial recharge in the Chino Basin takes priority over the artificial recharge function. For the
purposes of this MOA, artificial recharge includes storm and supplemental water recharge that occurs onl!
through active and discretionary activities of the PARTIES. The PARTiES agree that to the extent that artifici2
recharge can be incorporated into the operation of the basins without risk of flood damage and loss of life o
without impeding or impairing flood control activities, recharge will be optimized. Multi -purpose projects are
high priority and will be considered on a case -by -case basis.
2. Facilities Operations. in order for water to be stored in..the basins, the PARTIES will need to know i
advance of the coming of significant storms. Currently, long range forecasting of the weather is obtained b
SBCFCD. When significant storms are predicted to occur in the Chino Basin area, the voiume of water i
conservation storage in each basin will be reduced accordingly to preserve the flood control function i
anticipation of storm water inflows. Conservation plans will be developed for each of the facilities that includ
a schedule of conservation pool elevations, criteria that define when water can be stored for conservation ar
when water in conservation storage must be released to restore the full flood protection, capabilities of tl•
basins or allow for facility maintenance and repair, etc. preliminary conservation goals for each basin ar
included in Table 1. Initially, for basins that receive supplemental water (as defined in the Judgment ar
_ 1 _ i2J1S!_001.
Memarandum of Agreement
Maximization of Recharge in the Chino Basin Phase Z —Optimum Basin Management Program
Peace Agreement), the volume of water in conservation storage will be reduced by either reducing or stopping
altogether supplemental water inflows to the basins to provide adequate storage space to capture the runoff.
from the expected storm event. These conservation plans will be developed in detail in subsequent
agreements, and they may be modified over time based on operational experience, improvements in weather
and flood forecasting, .management technologies and -other considerations.
3. Many facilities listed in Table 1 will be monitored remotely for flood control and other purposes. These
facilities may be operated either through an automatic control system or by manually operating controls at
each facility. A PARTY can delegate the operation and control of some or all of its facilibes to others. The
SBCFCD shall have the authority to empty its basins at its sole discretion to prevent risk of flood damage or
loss of life or for immediate maintenance. Pursuant to Article 5.1(f of the Peace Agreement, the PARTIES
agree to undertake Recharge using water of the lowest cost and the highest quality, giving preference as far
as possible to the augmentation and the Recharge of native storm water.
A. Maintenance. Activities to maintain or improve recharge performance at basins will be done at periods chosen
by the PARTIES to optimize recharge of storm water and supplemental water. The PARTIES will identity the
entities to perform this maintenance for each facility. Watermaster.will pay the incremental cost increase of
basin operations that are in addition to the ordinary and customary operation and. maintenance activities
presently practiced. Such incremental cost increases will include charges resulting from the planned
optimization of recharge and other percolation restoration efforts arising or made more costly due to the
presence of supplemental water in the basins. The planned optimization of recharge will include the
environmentsl impacts that are present and policies will be established to maintain the optimum characteristics
of the recharge facilities.
5. Financing and Accounting. It is the intent of the PAR7ES that the costs associated with implementation of the
Recharge Muster Plan will be paid by Chino Basin Watermaster and IEUA (including SAWPA Proposition 13
funding). It is. also not the intent of the PARTIES that capital costs associated with the Recharge Master Plan
projects be bome by either CBWCO or SBCFCD. The PARTIES will account for their efforts associatedwith
the Recharge Master Plan projects in order that "in -kind' contributions are consistent with the contractual
requirements to demonstrate local share matching funds required for Proposition 13 funding are being
contributed It is the intent of the PARTIES that other projects that are not otherwise committed and that rneei
the intent of the Recharge Master Plan activities, will be counted toward the local share of matching funds.
S. Subsequent Agreements. The PARTIES will immediately work to develop subsequent agreements necessary
to address the specifics of facilities ❑perations,.maintenance, repayment, etc. It is anticipated the Subsequen,
Agreements will be completed in the first quarter of 2002, prior to completion of final design.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the PARTIES hereto have caused this Memorandum of Agreement to be executed or
the dates herein shown.•

CHINO BASIN RECHARGE MASTER PLAN
The purpose of this Attachment No. 2 is generally to describe (1) the budgeting,
funding, billing and payment processes to be used by the Parties in the implementation
of this Agreement, (2) the Facilities covered by this Agreement, (3) the lists of normal
and additional maintenance activities referred to in Paragraph 18 of the Agreement and
paragraphs C2, C3, D2, D3, E2 and E3 of this Attachment and (4) the guidelines for
creation and operation of annual operating plans for each Facility. This Attachment 2
may be amended periodically by unanimous agreement of the members of the
Groundwater Resources Coordinating Committee (GRCC) It is the intent of the Parties
that the GRCC will have reasonable flexibility to create procedures or time schedules
that may deviate somewhat from those set forth below, provided that all of the affected
Parties agree.
A. Budgetinq and Funding Process. In order to facilitate the timely review
and approval by Watermaster of the Consolidated Budget and Planning Budget called
for in Paragraph 18 of the Agreement, the Parties will each submit individual budgets for
Additional Costs for the ensuing fiscal year to IEUA, with copies to the other Parties, no
later than February 1st of each fiscal year. IEUA will then prepare a Consolidated
Budget and Planning Budget and circulate such budgets for review and comment by
March 1st. IEUA will consult with the GRCC as part of the preparation process. IEUA will
use its best efforts to resolve any questions or concerns of the Parties during such
review. IEUA will submit the Consolidated Budget and Planning Budget, with any
changes, to Watermaster by April 1st. Watermaster will adopt a final Consolidated
Budget and Planning Budget on or before June 1st of each year. Watermaster shall
I
supply a copy of said Consolidated Budget and Planning Budget to the Parties on or
before June 15th. Any amendment to the Consolidated Budget shall be submitted to the
Parties for review and comment at least 30 days prior to action thereon by Watermaster.
The Consolidated Budget for Additional Costs for the ensuing fiscal year will be the sum
of the amounts approved by Watermaster for IEUA, CBWCD and SBCFCD plus the
amount budgeted by Watermaster for its own costs. Quarterly, in advance,
Watermaster will pay to IEUA the portion, as shown by the Consolidated Budget, of the
estimated amount needed to fund the portion of the total budget to be expended during
the quarter. IEUA will place the amounts received into a Recharge O & M Account. If
the Consolidated Budget is amended during the fiscal year and the result of such
amendment is to increase appropriations, such increased amounts will be paid quarterly
over the remaining fiscal year.
B. Payment Process. Not later than the 15th day of each month CBWCD
and SBCFCD will transmit to IEUA, and IEUA will transmit to itself, with copies to
Watermaster, the invoices that are called for in Paragraph 21 of the Agreement, and
Watermaster will transmit to IEUA its claim for reimbursement for costs incurred. IEUA
will then, within fifteen days, pay each of the four agencies separately for their invoiced
amounts from amounts received from Watermaster.

f. Watermaster and IEUA will interrupt diversions of Supplemental
Water to the Facilities pursuant to requests by CBWCD in order to
accommodate inspection, maintenance or construction functions by
CBWCD or SBCFCD. CBWCD will make every effort to plan and
coordinate such functions in order to minimize interruptions of
recharge activities.
g. Watermaster and IEUA will control deliveries of Supplemental
Water to the Facilities as necessary to prevent overflow into the
San Antonio and West State Street Channels except during periods
when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the SBCFCD,
respectively, have advised them in writing that capacity for such
overflows exists in the Channels.
h. CBWCD, after notifying the Army Corps of Engineers, and
Watermaster, will open fully the diversion gate to the Montclair
Basins in advance of storms predicted to exceed one quarter of an
inch. Except when such storms are expected or when the diversion
gate is being used to divert water for Watermaster, the gate will be
kept closed.

i. At the Montclair Basins during the Rainy Season, in order to create
sufficient storage space for the capture and containment of
stormwater, Watermaster and IEUA will be limited to recharge of
Supplemental Water at Basins Nos. 1 and 2 and, upon receiving
special authorization from CBWCD, in limited quantities at Basins
Nos. 3 and 4.
j. In general, the floors of the Facilities will not be ripped or disked
except following an activity involving the operation of heavy
equipment there, and then only after the floor has been cleansed of
silt and other materials that might impede the percolation rate of the
Facilities. All basin floors that are ripped or disked will be floated or
otherwise made smooth to avoid having silt deposited in cuts or
furrows made by the ripping or disking operation. The work
activities described in this paragraph will be conducted only when
authorized in advance by CBWCD. The work activities described in
this paragraph will be conducted only when authorized in advance
by CBWCD and only upon first receiving environmental permits and
