Subject: Comments regarding the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR)
For Proposed Cielo Vista Project (Project) - SCH# 2012071013
Yorba Linda Water District (District) as the water and sewer collection service provider for the
proposed Project offers the following DEIR comments:
• As previously noted in the District response to the Project NOP, water and sewer
infrastructure for this Project shall be constructed with the proposed adjacent Esperanza
Hills Estates (EHE) Development. Representatives for each of the two projects were advised
by District staff that water and sewer services and facilities for the two projects must be
planned and designed in concert to serve the combined area. In summary, separate or
piece-meal development of water and sewer services is not acceptable.
• Two points of connection from the existing to the proposed potable water system will be
required.
• Regarding sewer services for the projects, the representatives for the two projects were
each advised that the District will require gravity-sewer service from the EHE Development,
extending southerly and westerly downward to and through the Project to connect to
existing District sewers. Engineering studies by the project developers will be required to
confirm the size of the sewer lines throughout the projects, and to confirm that the existing
downstream sewers have adequate existing capacity for the additional flow.
• As stated in the Conditional Will Serve letter, “the applicant must satisfy certain conditions
specified by the District and agreed to by the applicant before service will be available to
supply the project. Any future, binding commitment by the District to service this project
will be subject to the availability of water and sewer facilities and the planning, design, and
construction of adequate facilities to meet the demands of the project in accordance with
(1) the terms and conditions of a Pre-annexation Agreement to be executed by the
applicant and the District; and (2) the terms and conditions of an Application to an
Agreement with the Yorba Linda Water District for Water and Sewer Service executed by
the applicant and the District; both in accordance with the District’s policies existing at the
time such agreements are executed.”
• Additional detailed DEIR comments are listed as follows:
Page Section Comment
ES-39 ES-1 Water Infrastructure Issues section: change “could require new offsite
water infrastructure” to “will require new offsite water infrastructure.”
2-22 2.0 5e Please delete waterline size call-outs. Sizing will be determined during
the design stage, and with hydraulic modeling.
2-22 2.0 5e Onsite Water and Sewer facilities shall be designed and constructed by
the Developer and not YLWD.
4.9-7 4.9 2c For “Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) Connections,” please add
“Connection to sewer (wastewater) systems.”
4.12 4.12 2d Fire Hydrant spacing shall be 300-feet for residential areas, per
YLWD std. 00500 (typ. all sections).
Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Anthony Manzano, Sr.
Project Manager, at (714) 701-3106, or contact me at (714) 701-3102.

Notes:
In preparation for the AMP Shutdown, the Operations Staff and the Valve Crew conducted preliminary tests of the Primary Plan with favorable results.
Reservoir maintenance was performed on Quarter Horse and Hidden Hills and sampled for bacteriological safety. The Senior Operator, Operators,
Confined Space Crew, and IT Staff will be verifying reservoir levels with SCADA instrumentation for accuracy on the week of January 6, 2014. As a
reminder, the AMP Shutdown will begin on January 13, 2014 at 12:01 am.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 19, 2013
TO: Steve Conklin, Acting General Manager
FROM: John DeCriscio, Operations Manager
SUBJECT: Groundwater Producers Meeting December 11, 2013
Steve Conklin and I attended the Groundwater Producers (GWP) meeting on
December 11, 2013 at Orange County Water District, (OCWD). A summary of the
items discussed is as follows:
1. Big Canyon RA and BEA exemption request: In section 38 of the OCWD Act
it states an RA and BEA exemption shall be granted to an applicant that can
prove the water they are proposing to pump does not have a direct or indirect
effect on the OCWD groundwater basin. Big Canyon Country Club in Newport
Beach has put in such a request, OCWD staff has studied Big Canyon’s proposal
and is in agreement that they qualify for this exemption.
2. Ball Road Basin Lease Agreement: OCWD Board of Directors voted in favor
of entering into a lease agreement with Competitive Power Venture (CPV) for the
lease of the 19 acres at Ball Rd. Basin to build a power plant. Terms of the lease
are as follows: Years 1-4 Option Period: $500,000/yr for years 1 and 2,
$600,000/yr for years 3 and 4. Years 5-6 Development and Construction Period:
$1,500,000 per year. If plant is built, base rent is for 20 years starting at
$1,750,000 per year. There are many other requirements in the agreement, but
the real message from OCWD was the rental income is substantial and they
couldn’t overlook this opportunity.
3. Budget Schedule: Preliminary projections for the RA and BPP are expected to
be available on January 22, 2014. OCWD’s goal for the BPP in 2014-15 is 72%,
with GWRS expansion complete by Spring 2015, which will bring production to
100,000 AF/yr. However, a lower BPP may be necessary due to the continuing
drought and SA River flow dropping to an estimated 90,000 AF/yr. Concerning
2
the RA, OCWD estimates that it will rise to $300 to $310/AF, to cover the cost of
O&M for larger GWRS Plant.
4. Desalination Update: The week of December 16th, OCWD Board of Directors
will consider selection of community members for the Citizens Advisory
Committee for the Ocean Desalination Project.
Next Meeting: Wednesday January 15, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in OCWD Boardroom
