Proposed Casino Ridge Project, Tract 16488
ITEM NO. 2.1
N/A
Engineering
N/A
In a letter dated June 27, 2009, representatives for the King Family Trust requested terms and
conditions for water service for a proposed 11 -lot development at the northerly extension of Casino
Ridge Road, identified as Tract 16488. Discussions regarding development of these lots dates back
to 2003, when terms and conditions were approved and then expired in six months for lack of
action. More recently, there were meetings in early 2008 on the matter that included representatives
from the City of Yorba Linda, the District and the King Family Trust. This was followed by further
correspondence and meetings earlier this year, and the letter of June 27. Thereafter, the proposed
project was discussed with the PEO Committee on July 2, 2009 on the issues related to water
service. Based on direction from the Committee, draft Terms and Conditions were prepared,
including Item 52 relating to water service. A copy of the draft Terms and Conditions, project maps,
and recent correspondence are attached.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee support staff's recommended Terms and Conditions for the development of
Tract 16488.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed 11 -lot development is located at the northerly extension of Casino Ridge Road, in the
District's 6B Zone, as shown on the attached maps. The Zone is fed from Chino Hills Reservoir with
a high -water elevation of 1300 ft. The highest lots in the development have a pad elevation of 1200
ft. A hydraulic analysis was completed in July 2008 for the proposed development. The conclusion
of the analysis was that there is sufficient fire flow under the modeled conditions with a 12 -inch
pipeline loop installed from San Antonio Road. Furthermore, the study found insufficient operating
pressures under average day, max day, and peak -hour demand conditions. The study
recommended household pumps be installed at each residence to increase normal service
condition pressures.
Based on the above analysis and recommendations, the developer returned with the formal request
for water service terms and conditions on April 20, 2009. The District's response was provided in a
letter dated June 1, 2009, which is attached. District staff met with representatives for the project on
June 4 to discuss the project and water supply issues, and the District's concerns were reiterated in
an email dated June 15, 2009, which is attached.
Thereafter, representatives for the project arranged for a meeting with the City of Yorba Linda on
June 22, which included District staff. At the meeting, issues were discussed that had to be
addressed before the project could be approved for development. The water supply and pressure
issues were the most substantial. It was noted in the meeting that these issues are still being
addressed.
Following the above, in a letter dated June 27, the King Family requested Terms and Conditions for
the project at the August 6th PEO Committee meeting. Staff made a report to the PEO Committee
on July 2nd of the recent project developments and the request for Terms and Conditions.
Following discussion, the PEO Committee directed staff to prepare draft Terms and Conditions
including the requirements described in Item 52.
Representatives for the project were notified that this item is being brought to the PEO Committee
meeting, and may be present to discuss the project and the proposed Terms and Conditions.

Subject: Request for Water Service Terms and Conditions, Casino Ridge (King Property)
Dear Mr. Cornwell:
This is in response to your submittal dated April 20, 2009 regarding the above. The District has reviewed
the plans, tract map and water study provided with your transmittal. As you may recall, in May 2003 the
District approved terms and conditions for water service for 11 lots at the north end of Casino Ridge
Road, as Tract 16488. However, that expired late in 2003 due to lack of action in six months. Since that
time conditions relating to service approval have changed considerably.
The first change relates to water storage requirements which have been increased, based on the 2005
Water Master Plan adopted by the District. Specifically, that document requires seven average- -day's
storage for emergencies, one day's storage for operational needs, plus sufficient storage to meet the
flow requirement for a residential fire. The seven -day storage requirement was imposed on all water
providers that get supply from the imported system. The fire flow requirement is established by the
Orange County Fire Authority. Concerning a second change, the industry has adopted a dynamic-flow
calculation criteria in place of the previous static -head standard of 100 feet elevation differential
between the elevation of water storage and the highest home pad.
New development in this area will need to address the water supply situation under the current
standards. Regarding water storage, the existing storage for this zone is fully committed to meeting the
above- described storage needs for existing development. Accordingly, any new development would
need developer- provided storage facilities meeting the above criteria, for both storage and service
pressure.
The District will require the developer for this project or any other future developer to run new
dynamic -flow calculations and to address any shortages that exist in the infrastructure. It is the
responsibility of the owner or developer to confirm with the Orange County Fire Authority whether the
District's existing facilities are of adequate size, capacity and pressure to satisfy the fire flow
requirements, and to confirm what improvements are necessary to meet those requirements. Any such
improvements must be planned, designed and constructed in coordination with the District.
If you have any questions, or if we can be of additional assistance, please advise.

RE: Tract 16488, Casino Ridge
Hi Fred,
As we discussed in our June 4 meeting, the [district has both water supply and water pressure concerns with the
proposed project. Re water supply, it was noted that the storage for the zone is already fully committed to existing,
users. Accordingly, the developer of Tract 16488 would need to provide additional storage or would need to develop
off -sets to reduce existing demand on that storage, as means to potentially accommodate the storage needed for the
new tract.
Re water pressurkO., it was noted that the Sept 2008 study indicated that, with developer - provided pipeline
imprrvemerts, it may be possible to meet fire flow requirements, but would need to be confirmed through the Fire
Authority. To meet pressure requirements at the planned homes, it appears that the developer would need to provide
individual booster pumps at each sitc_ Further, it would be necessary for the developer to provide a Declaration of
Restrsrtive Covenants as part of the sales documents for each site, which would remain as a document requiring
acknowledgement and consent for each successive owner.
The means to achieve the demand off -sets and any proposed improvements would be subject to review and approval of
the District, with all costs paid far by the developer.
If you have any questions, please call.
Regards,
Steve Conklin, P.E.

TALKING POINTS for Water District's Planning—Engineering-Operations Committee
Thursday August 6 at 4pm at the District office. Committee Chair Bill Mills, Board Member
Paul Armstrong, GM Ken Vecchiarelli, Engineering Manager Steve Conklin, Operations
Manager Lee Cory, Assistant Operations Manager Ken Mendum, Chief Plant Operator John
DeCriscio, Gordon Thomson, owner Bob King and Mark Guithues.
OPENING: The conditions are generally acceptable. (Minor changes to Conditions 31(80 Ibs
pressure is not applicable), 33 (will apply at time of C of O).) The reason for our attendance is
item 52, requiring that we provide "gravity fed" storage to meet required water supply and
water pressure constraints while expressly disallowing the use of private pumps. The King
project has adequate water pressure for fire flow purposes, but requires reallocation of the Chino
Hills Reservoir or the use of a pump to meet gravity fed requirements, and the use of private
pumps for the pleasure of the owners.
ISSUE. Item 52 may be an impossible condition to satisfy, depending upon how it is
interpreted. As admitted by the District's own internal policies and procedures, the existing
reservoir cannot be expanded. Strict adherence to this requirement would kill the project and
thereby eliminate the proposed loop system which provides a substantial benefit to the District.
The loop system provides water quality (reduced stagnation) and fire safety (redundancy and
pressure) benefits, not just to the King project, but the 65 homes on San Antonio and all the
properties north of Fairmont and San Antonio. (See attached diagram.)
SUPPLY AND STORAGE: Condition #52 requires that the Kings provide "gravity fed" water
supply and storage in accordance with The 2005 Plan, approved by the Board of Directors on
December 22, 2005. The King family can meet this requirement by reapportionment and public
pumps in accordance with the Plan.
Section 13.3.7 ( "Recommended Storage Required ") of the District's 2005 Water Master Plan
(the "2005 Plan") lists five reservoirs that need to be increased. Although the King property is
identified and included in the 2005 Plan calculations, the Chino Hills Reservoir is not listed as
one to be increased because, as noted in Section 10.4.1.2, additional gravity fed storage is not
possible "due to the difficulty in obtaining land to expand the existing reservoir."
Recognizing that there is a water shortage in the Chino Hills Reservoir, the 2005 Plan goes on to
recommend "that the District purchase a portable pump to serve as a back up to the existing
Timber Ridge Booster Station, reallocate the existing storage in Chino Hills to provide all of
the fire storage needed, and split the remainder between operational storage and emergency
storage... Maintaining a portable pump ready for use will enable the District staff to quickly
respond to an emergency."
According to the Freeway Complex Fire Report, prepared by the District, the District borrowed 3
portable pumps for the purpose of boosting water into the adjacent higher pressure zone to
supplement the fire supply. From all accounts, these pumps operated very successfully. The
District also has an existing pump which may or may not be properly sized or equipped.
Although reallocation is a step which staff can accomplish (the storage requirement we are
talking about is 37,598 gallons, or about the size of a residential swimming pool), the King
family respectfully requests Condition 52 be revised to provide for this implementation of the
2005 Plan.
WATER PRESSURE.
According to the District's studys, performed by RBF Consulting in July and September of 2008
(the "RBF Reports "), the King project varies between 36 and 40 lbs, which meets minimum
fire requirements, but not day to day pressure requirements. When discussing water
pressure, the use of private pumps is related to the desire of the residents for higher water
pressure.
The 2005 Plan, at Section 1.8.2.2, ( "System Pressure Analysis') identifies areas in the District
which require pressure zone modification. The King project was not identified in this section
and the District has no plans to make pressure improvements in Zone 6(b). The 2005 Plan does
set a minimum standard of 40 PSI. The King property has two 36 inch gas running across the
project which prohibit the ability to lower the pads.
Establishing a requirement that pumps are not allowed is inconstant with the past practices of the
District. RBF, in their reports on behalf of the District, suggest installation household
pumps to increase pressure. The Kings have learned that the District has encountered some
problems with water pumps installed in the past because the buyers do not understand the water
pressure issues incumbent in some properties, and do not understand why they should have to
pay for replacement pumps.
We believe the King situation is different because each owner will be required to select and
install the pump as part of original construction. This is not a situation where a buyer is
purchasing a completed home, but a custom lot where buyers will be required to install a pump
which could be specified by the District.
The solution is also proper disclosure. This disclosures can and must be more clearly
communicated. The Kings offer the following suggestions as to possible methods which could
be explored for implementation at their project:
• Put a very clearly worded notice in the CCRs/Annexation Documents. California law
now requires a seller to provide these documents to the buyer.
• Put a release and waiver in the Purchase Agreement
• Record a stand alone notice.
• Place a notice at the bottom of the monthly water bill stating that "This neighborhood
requires the use of private water pumps to meet the minimum water pressure
requirements established by the Water District and each owner is solely responsible for
all costs related to maintenance and replacement of the private water pumps.
• Establish a "red flag" on District software requiring those who arrange service for a
residence in the community come to the District and execute an acknowledgement that
they understand that absent a pump, the residence has less than 40 psi, and individual
owners are solely responsible for repairing and replacing their private pump.
• Specify a specific pump or class of pumps in the CCRs/Annexation documents and
record this requirement against the property. YLWD can review pump curves, models,
manufactures, etc.
• Require placement of a metal plate on the pump housing indicating that: "This pump is
private, maintenance and replacement of the pump its related hardware are solely the
responsibility of the owner. Absent this pump, the residence may suffer from low water
pressure. The Yorba Linda Water District is not responsible for maintenance or
replacement of the pump."
PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR CONDITION 52.
The applicant shall pay its fair share to purchase a portable booster pump to meet the water
supply requirements for Zone 6(b) identified in Section 10.4.1.2 of the District's 2005 Water
Master Plan, and the conditions of the Orange County Fire Authority for fire flow requirements.
PROPOSED LANGUAGE FOR ADDING A CONDITION 53.
The Applicant shall meet the requirements for water pressure in accordance with the District's
2005 Water Master Plan by the following methods:
• Execute a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants;
• Put a very clearly worded notice in the CCRs/Annexation Documents. California law
now requires a seller to provide these documents to the buyer.
• Put a release and waiver in the Purchase Agreement
• Record a stand alone notice.
• Pay for software costs to modify the District's monthly water bill stating that "This
community requires the use of private water pumps to meet the minimum water pressure
requirements established by the Water District and each owner is solely responsible for
all costs related to maintenance and replacement of the private water pumps.
• Establish a "red flag" on District software requiring those who arrange service for a
residence in the community come to the District and execute an acknowledgement that
they understand that absent a pump, the residence has less than 40 psi, and individual
owners are solely responsible for repairing and replacing their private pump.
• Specify a specific pump or class of pumps in the CCRs/Annexation documents and
record this requirement against the property. YLWD can review pump curves, models,
manufactures, etc.
• Require placement of a metal plate on the pump housing indicating that: "This pump is
private, maintenance and replacement of the pump its related hardware are solely the
responsibility of the owner. Absent this pump, the residence may suffer from low water
pressure. The Yorba Linda Water District is not responsible for maintenance or
replacement of the pump."
CONCLUSION. Item 52 is an impossible condition to satisfy. The King project benefits the
District because it improves the water quality (reduced stagnation) and fire safety (redundancy
and water pressure), not just at the King project, but for 65 homes on San Antonio and all the
properties north of Fairmont and San Antonio. The eleven home King project should be allowed
to mitigate supply and pressure issues by reallocation or with assisting the District in the
purchase or renovation of a fire pump, and clear requirements and disclosures to the eleven
buyers of lots.

MEMORANDUM
To: Ken Vecchiarelli, Yorba Linda Water District °'t2 -310
From: Michael Moore, RBF Consulting
Date: September 5, 2008
Subject: Casino Ridge Community — Looped System Hydraulic Analysis
Introduction
Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) has received a notice from King's Family Trust of their
intention to develop eleven (11) new residential lots in the existing Casino Ridge community.
The new development area would be at the end of Casino Ridge Road and include lots with pad
elevations up to 1,200 feet above mean sea level (amsi). Currently the Casino Ridge
community is served domestic water by a 12 -inch pipeline that extends to the end of Casino
Ridge Road (see Figure 1). Yorba Linda Water District has contracted RBF Consulting to
perform hydraulic analysis to determine whether adequate water service pressure and fire
protection will be provided to the proposed development. Analysis completed in July 2008
found insufficient pressure for normal and emergency fire flow conditions and recommended
either looped piping or installation of a fire pump system.
Objective
This study is prepared to summarize hydraulic analysis determining the benefit to normal
operating and fire flow pressures to the new Casino Ridge development area with a looped 12-
inch system. The study is based recommended pressure criteria (tank level and static elevation
difference) for hydraulic analyses.
Background
Yorba Linda Water District's Zone 6B system provides water service to the Casino Ridge
community. Zone 6B is supplied water by the Timber Ridge Booster Pump Station and the
Chino Hills Reservoir (HWL = 1,300 ft amsl). In the 2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan
several areas of inadequate pressure were identified for YLWD. The areas were studied in
further depth in the Zone Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3 prepared by RBF
Consulting (March 12, 2008). Both analyses were based on minimum pressures of 40 psi
(normal operating conditions) and 20 psi (fire flow conditions) per pages 2 -10 and 2 -11 of the
2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan. However, for this study it is understood that the
District seeks a recommendation for more detailed criteria to ensure low pressure conditions are
prevented in this new development area.
H:\ Pdata \101060431AdminlreportslCasino Ridge Exp Hyd AnalysisrevOctftdoc
Existing Pressure Criteria
Yorba Linda Water District's applicable pressure criteria are provided on pages 2 -10 and 2 -11 of
the 2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan.
2. The water system shall be capable of providing the minimum fire flow as
determined in this master plan with a minimum residual pressure of 20 psi.
3. The water system shall be capable of providing at least 40 psi to the service
connections for the following demand periods.* average day, maximum day, and
peak hour.
Fire Flow Critera
Fire flow requirements for YLWD are shown in Table 1.5 of the 2005 Domestic Water System
Master Plan. A 1,500 gpm fire flow was simulated for the planned single family residential area.
Evaluation
The HANet model developed for the 2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan and as
modified by RBF Consulting for the Zone Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3 was used
for hydraulic analysis evaluation. The new development area would require approximately 400
feet of new pipeline, and add service connections up to elevation 1,200 ft amsl. The hydraulic
analysis simulated the addition of 11 dwelling units being served by extending the existing 12-
inch pipeline into the proposed development area.
Demand
The demand added to new node (ID 6872) representing the proposed development is as
summarized in Table 1.

Service Pressure Standard
It is recommended that Yorba Linda Water District consider the adoption of the following
standard to ensure adequate service pressure and fire protection for new developments.
Tank Level: Half (1/2) full
Static Elevation Difference (Tank Level — Lot Elevation): Minimum of 125 feet
H:\Pdafa\10108043\Adminkeports\Casino Ridge FXp Hyd MalysisrevOct08.doc fMF
Previous Analysis
Analysis was completed in July 2008 for the Casino Ridge development water service that:
Determined insufficient pressure (normal conditions < 40 psi and fire flow < 20 psi) when
served from the existing system.
. Recommended two options for increasing pressure:
1) A fire pump and back -up generator is installed for protecting all 11 lots, and installing
household pumps to increase normal service condition pressure.
2) Looping the 12 -inch pipeline system serving the development, and installing
household pumps to increase normal service condition pressure.
Current Analysis
In August 2008, Yorba Linda Water District requested RBF analyze the benefit of looping the
12 -inch pipeline to the proposed development area with connection the system in San Antonio
Road (see Figure 1). This 'revised' configuration would add a pipeline crossing undeveloped
land, and require establishment of a new pipeline easement to YLWD. The benefit of the
looped pipe configuration was analyzed using the hydraulic model. The results show sufficient
pressure for emergency / fire flow conditions, and slightly low pressure under normal operating
conditions. A summary of the results is provided in Table 2.

Conclusion
The results show that sufficient fire flow is provided to pads up to 1,200 feet. However, normal
condition operation pressure is not 40 psi (calculated at pad - level). This issue could either be
resolved by installing household pumps for each proposed lot, or by lowering the highest pad of
the development.

Terms and Conditions for Water and Sewer Service with Dentino Properties
Dentino Properties is proposing to develop a residential lot on the west side of Longview Circle,
between Yorba Linda Boulevard to the north and Buena Vista Avenue to the south. The property is
approximately 2.56 acres and is located within Water Pressure Zone 2 of the District's Western
Service Area. An exhibit depicting the project location is attached for your reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend that the Board of Directors approve the Terms and Conditions for
Water and Sewer Service with Dentino Properties, Job No. 200913.
DISCUSSION:
Dentino Properties is proposing to develop a residential lot with a possible subdivision in the future.
There is an existing oil well that is centrally located on the eastern half of the property. The
subdivision will not occur until the oil well is exhausted.
The District has an existing 8 -inch water pipeline located in an easement that extends westerly from
Longview Circle. The oil well's location prevents the extension of the water main to service the new
home. Instead, the applicant is requesting a water service connection at the west end of the
pipeline. The District will require the applicant to relocate an existing onsite irrigation meter that is
currently connected to a 4 -inch cast iron water pipeline within the project site. Dentino Properties
will relocate this irrigation meter to the 8 -inch water main and abandon the 4 -inch cast iron water
pipeline. The District will also require the applicant to replace the terminal blow -off assembly with a
fire hydrant at the end of the 8 -inch water main.
The applicant's property is located within Drainage Area 2 of the District's Sewer Service Area. The
District has an existing onsite sewer main that ends near the west side of the property. The
applicant will be required to extend the sewer main easterly by approximately 85 feet with a terminal
manhole and construct a 4 -inch house lateral to the residence in accordance with the District Rules
and Regulations for Sewer Service and in compliance with the District's Sewer Standards and
Specifications.
The Terms and Conditions for Water and Sewer Service with Dentino Properties are attached for

The Yorba Linda Water District maintains its water and sewer capital equipment and facilties on an
on -going basis and provides funding in its annual budget for this purpose. The District is looking at
the adequacy of its maintenance program and the appropriate level of funding, while continuing to
deliver the service its customers desire and regulators require. With this in mind, the District has
budgeted for the preparation of an Asset Management Plan (AMP).
The AMP will identify all of the District's capital assets, the current condition of each, the risk
profiles, and the long -term Rehabilitation and Replacement (R &R) funding requirements. With the
understanding of the long -term R &R requirements, the AMP will present a proposed funding policy
to fulfill the needs to maintain the District's assets.
For the preparation of the Asset Management Plan, staff issued a Request for Proposals and
received three consultant proposals for the project. Following an evaluation, staff recommends
award to Carollo Engineers for a fee not to exceed $112,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend that the Board of Directors authorize execution of a Professional
Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers in the amount of $112,000 to provide an Asset
Management Plan for water and sewer asset replacement.
DISCUSSION:
The Engineering staff prepared a Request for Proposal for a Capital Asset Management Plan and
solicited seven engineering consulting firms experienced in this field. Three replied and submitted a
proposal. The District's review team ranked and scored the proposals based on experience,
content, and understanding of the project. Below are the results of the ranking.

Proposed Installation of Solar Panels on Spring View Reservoir
Yorba Linda Water District has been investigating the feasibility of installing photovoltaic (PV) solar
panels since 2004. Five studies have been performed over the last five years, generally indicating
payback in 10 -15 years. As a means of determining the true cost of construction and operating a PV
System, staff is recommending installing a 30kW pilot system at the Spring View Reservoir site.
With this in mind, staff solicited Design /Build proposals from five solar providers. Following an
evaluation of the three proposals received, Staff recommends award to Akeena Solar Inc. for a cost
not to exceed $227,489.
While this project was not funded in the current fiscal year budget, it is anticipated that savings on
other projects will cover the cost of this pilot project. In addition, Staff will be applying for a rebate
under the California Solar Initiative program to lower our overall cost of the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend that the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to
execute a contract with Akeena Solar Inc. in the amount of $227,489 to provide engineering
design /build services for the construction of a 30kW peak photovoltaic solar panel installation for the
Spring View Reservoir and Booster Pump Station site.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends that a relatively small solar power system be purchased and installed at the
Spring View site to provide a portion of the power required by the booster pumps. This would allow
us to gauge the cost and benefits of solar power at a relatively modest cost before considering a
large -scale investment. The Engineering staff prepared and sent a Request for Proposal to five
solar providers experienced in this field. Three proposals were received from qualified installers.
After reviewing each solar provider's proposal, Engineering staff is recommending Akeena Solar
Inc. for the PV solar panel installation. The ranking of the cost proposals are as follows.

Subject: Proposed Change Order to Well 12 Testing Contract
SUMMARY:
The testing of Well 12 has been completed to determine modifications to the well and
operational changes to achieve the best continued long -term production of the 60- year -old
well. The testing program was performed by General Pump Company, who was retained
based on competitive bidding in accordance with District procedures. The testing program was
based on specifications prepared by CDM, the District's consultant, who also monitored the
testing. Following the completion of the test program and the analysis of the results, General
Pump was requested to submit a cost proposal to provide and install the modifications to the
well, as recommended by CDM. District staff has reviewed the cost proposal and
recommends approval, as Change Order No. 1, a copy of which is attached.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee support staff's recommendation for the approval of Change Order No. 1 in
the amount of $56,973.39 to provide and install a new water -lube pump, metal packer and
other appurtenances and to extend the contract time by an additional 35 calendar days for the
extra work.
DISCUSSION:
The testing of Well 12 occurred between June 12 and 24 under various conditions, to
determine a reasonable and sustainable flow rate that would not have entrained air in the
discharge. The air is a result of water cascading down in the well casing due to the continuing
drop of the aquifer level. A test packer was inserted in the well casing at two different depths.
A test pump was operated at varying discharge rates with the packer inflated and uninflated to
determine water flow, air entrainment and sand generation under various conditions, as
observed and directed by CDM's hydrogeologist.
Following a review of the findings with District staff, CDM recommended the installation of a
metal cylinder the same shape as a packer 140 feet below grade, to isolate the air in the
column from the water being withdrawn from the well. They also recommended that the flow
be limited to 1,200 gallons per minute. Historically, Well 12 has operated at 2,000 gpm when
the aquifer was at higher levels. A copy of the field investigation report and recommendations
by CDM is attached.
The original contract with General Pump for the testing program was for $49,985. The change
order proposal was for $77,173.39. However, from that amount there were deductions for
tasks not required under the original contract ($9,200 deduction) and for providing a metal
packer assembly in place of an inflatable packer ($11,000 deduction). The net proposed
Change Order No. 1 is for $56,973.39, which would increase the total contract amount to
$106,958.39 and would add 35 calendar days to the contract.

Subject: Well 12 — Paeker Assembly
Dear John,
Per our phone conversation yesterday, General Pump will reduce the cost of the packer assembly
by $11,000. This savings includes tax and freight. The flow restricting packer assembly will be
manufactured on a 10" piece of water lube column pipe. The new packer, although
dimensionally very close to the same, will not inflate. The lead time is 3 weeks. The remainder
of the material has a one week delivery, therefore this option adds two weeks to the completion
date.

Subject: YLWD Well 12 Testing Recommendations
Dear Leon:
As discussed in our telephone conversation on Thursday, July 9th, this letter is a summary of
the finding of the testing at Well 12 and presents our recommendations.
Field Investigation
Well 12 was tested with a packer assembly and pump set at two different depth. Initially, on
June 12, 2009, General Pump installed the packer assembly which consisted of a 6 foot
18.5 -inch diameter packer set at a depth of 114 below the top of the pump pad (topp)
(1.7 feet above ground surface) with a pump
installed 60 feet below the packer assembly. The
packer is shown in the photo on the right. A
sounding tube/ camera tube was installed as
part of the packer assembly to a depth of
" 121 feet. The pump intake was installed at
195 feet below the topp. All the water levels
were taken relative to the top of the 2 -inch
sounding tube that passes through the packer.
The stickup for the sounding tube was 1.82 feet
above the pump pad and 2.52 feet above the
- -- ground surface. "The static water level was 87.88
feet measured above the packer in the annulus Between the casing and the pump column and
90.68 feet measured in the sounding tube below the packer. There was a 2.8 feet water level
difference above and below the packer.
The initial tests were done with the packer uninflated. When the well started discharging, the
initial discharge was colored and turbid, but quickly cleared. A Baker tank was set up to
capture any solids resulting from the test.

The technique for checking for air entrainment was to sample water from a centrally located
port between the gate valve and the pump. This water was under pressure until it was
The pumping rate was slowly increased
until air was noted. There was no air at
a pumping rate of 1,098 gpm but there
was cascading water. Air was noted in
the discharge at a rate of 1,486 gpm with
the packer uninflated.
After the air was noted at 1,486 gprn the pumping rate was reduced to 1,300 gpm where
minor air was still noted and then 600 gpm and the packer was inflated to 20 psi. There was a
change in the water levels above and below the packers and this confirmed that the packer
was inflated. The pumping rate was slowly increased from 600 gpm to 1,374 gpm. At 600 gpm
and 1000 gpm, no air was noted in the discharge. The well was increased to 1200 gpm. Sand
production in the discharged water was measured using a Rossum Sand Tester during the
pumping. Sand was noted at 1,374 gpm at a volume large enough to color the water and add
sand to the Ross urn Sand Tester. The sand production was short lived and was probably the
lower section of the well being developed. After ten minutes, the water had cleared. At
1,374 gpm the sand content ranged from 47 ppm to 0 ppm over ten minutes with the numbers
decreasing as the pumping continued.
At a rate of 1,374 gpm the well was discharging air. A simple test was conducted to indicate
the source of the air. The two inch tube was sealed at the surface with a threaded cap. In just a
few minutes of pumping the air in the discharge stopped. The air below the packer was
therefore coming from the surface through the two -inch sounding /camera tube. The probable
mechanism for this air entrainment was turbulent flow in the zone between the water surface
in the well below the packer and the base of the packer. There was a head difference of
approximately 34 feet between the zone above the packer and the section below the packer
that likely led to discharge around the packer through the annulus/ formation outside the
well. This water was then able to enter the zone below the packer through slots, including
those above the water surface, inducing turbulent flow. When the access tube was open to the
atmosphere, this allowed entrainment of air, which then moved downward to the pump
intake, since a significant portion of the well yield originates in the shallow portion of well
above the packer.

On June 19th a video camera was lowered down the well in the annulus between the casing
and pump column above the packer assembly. The packer was inflated to 20 PSI. The
pumping rate was increased from 500 to approximately 1,450 gpm at which time the air was
noted in the discharge. The video showed no indication of moving water above the packer.
The pumping rate was decreased to 500 gpm and the camera was lowered through the
two -inch sounding tube to a point approximately 30 feet below the packer and above the
pump intake. The rate was slowly increased. At 1,200 gpm there were significant bubbles
visible in the water. This confirmed that there was air in well below the packer at a lower rate
than was visible at the surface. This may have also been due to the issue noted above, where
the access tube was providing the air to the turbulent flow zone.
The pump was shut off. The camera was lowered below the bowls to a depth of 214 feet. This
is the top of the lower perforation section of the well. The particles were falling after the well
was turned on at a rate of 650 gpm. The pumping rate was slowly increased to 1,200 gpm at
which time the particles no longer fell. This indicated that the lower section of the well was
producing water. The pump was shut off and the camera was removed.
Summary of the first test
The first test placed the bottom of the packer at 120 feet below the top of the pump pad. With
the packer uninfiated there was air in the discharge at 1,500 gpm. With the packer inflated .
there was air in the discharge at 1,400 gpm. The source of the air is from the surface. This was
confirmed by capping the two -inch sounding tube. After a few minutes of pumping at
1,400 gpm the air in the flow stopped. The use of the camera confirmed that air was present in
the well at 1,200 gpm, but the air was not coming to the surface. The camera also confirmed
that the lower perforated section of the well is contributing water.
Summary of the second test
On June 23rd, General Pump lowered the packer assembly to a depth of 160 feet below topp.
On June 24th the static water level was 87.45 feet in the sounding tube and 88.90 feet in the
annulus between the casing and pump column above the packer. The stickup for the
sounding tub remained unchanged. The well was pumped at approximately 750 gpm with
the packer uninflated increasing gradually to 1,629 gpm at which time air was noted in the
discharge with some sand noted. The pumping rate was decreased to 800 gpm and the packer
inflated. The pumping rate was then increased to 1,115 gpm and the sand rate increased. The
pumping water level was 143 feet below the top of the sounding tube which was the same
depth as the bottom of the packer. Because of the pumping water level depth it was decided
to pump the well without the packer inflated again, providing additional evidence that a
significant portion of the yield from this well originates in the upper screen interval. The
pumping rate was increased to 1,440 gpm when air was noted in the discharge at which time
the rate was decreased to 1,330 gpm which still indicated air in the discharge. The pumping
rate was reduced to 1,225 gpm and the air was eliminated and there was no sand. The rate

I,eon de los Reyes

was increased slightly and extremely small bubbles were noted at which time the pump was
turned off after pumping for an hour.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The packer can be used to isolate air from the discharge if it is set at a depth of 140 feet from
the top of the pump pad, and no source of air from the surface is available below the packer.
The obstruction caused by the packer appears to be causing coalescing of the bubbles and the
obstruction appears to be the major role in de- airing the water. The maximum flow attained
with the packer at this depth was 1,225 with out air in the discharge. A sustainable pumping
rate is estimated to be 1,200 gpm. This pumping rate is appropriate under the current water
table conditions. If the water table were to decrease over time, the pump may start having air
in the discharge, even while using the packer and at that time the discharge rate would have
to be decreased.
A "dummy" with the same dimensions of the packer (a cylinder, 18.5 inch diameter by 6 foot
long) should be welded to a piece of pump column and installed at a depth of 140 feet. 'The
pump should be installed below the packer in the blank section between a depth of 223 and
254 feet below the top of the pump pad. It is recommended that the well be pumped at
1,200 gpm after the pump assembly is installed. During pumping, the water levels should be
monitored regularly. The key is to make sure the water level never dro s below the bottom of
the packer. It should be noted that if the water levels continue to drop then the pumping rate
will have to decrease also or the air may appear again.

TO: Ken Vecchiarelli
FROM: Steve Conklin
SUBJECT: Completion of Construction of 18" and 36" Bastanchury Water Mains
I am pleased to report the completion of construction of this joint project between the District
and Shapell Industries. It is the fifth and final reach of the new Bastanchury Water Transmission
Pipelines from approximately 19400 Bastanchury Road to Fairmont Boulevard.
These improvements included 3400 linear feet of 36 -inch Zone 4 Transmission Main and 3400
feet of 18 -inch Zone 3 Transmission Main within Bastanchury Road with interties to Lakeview
Avenue and Fairmont Boulevard. The new 36 -inch Zone 4 pipeline turns South on Fairmont
Blvd. to connect to the existing 39 -inch Zone 4 Pipeline.
The District invested in this project beyond the Shapell requirements, to have the pipeline
enlarged to provide for future growth, improved operational reliability, and the flexibility to
deliver groundwater or import water. This fifth leg completes the last of approximately six miles
of transmission pipeline from Gardenia Reservoir to Fairmont Reservoir. It should be noted that
this transmission pipeline was of critical importance during the recent Freeway Complex Fires.
The added capacity to deliver Zones 3 and 4 water, as a result of this expansion, enabled the
District to deliver groundwater to the higher zones.
The original construction contract was $1,664,283 with $999,171 as the District's share. At
completion, the actual District cost was $1,010,185 or 1.1% over the original contract.
