(Att. 1) AgLantis 2017 Annual Report Page 15 of 90 CoCo San Sustainable Farm ANNUAL REPORT on PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT Submitted April 1, 2018 REPORTING PERIOD: January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 PROGRAM OVERVIEW AgLantis and the CoCo San Sustainable Farm have four major foci: 1) Equity 2) Environment 3) Education 4) Economy 1) EQUITY: Public Health and Nutritional Poverty One of our primary purposes is to grow and sell fresh produce to local schools and the Contra Costa/Solano Food Bank for a low cost. Urban farming can help create a more equitable food system, especially when it includes greenhouse growing. Produce can be grown in food deserts either on an empty lot or in a hydroponic or aquaponics greenhouse. Local food is more nutritious, as nutrients are lost each day after harvest. Fostering local food production is critical to resilience in the face of massive predicted food shortages which will particularly effect poor people. The UN says 1/8 will be starving by 2050. When our greenhouse is built and equipped, we will demonstrate hydroponic production, which can produce up to 40 times the yield for approximately 10% of the water. Land Use Permit: Prior to achieving these long term goals, the Land Use Permit needed to be approved and all of the Conditions of Approval (COAs) met. We were unable to take possession of the land because under the lease, Central San was to obtain the Land Use Permit and this was not finalized and submitted until approximately December, 2015. The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) processed the permit quickly with Zoning Administrator's approval effective January 1, 2016. The approved Land Use Permit had many unfulfilled pre-requisites (62 Conditions of Approval plus instructions to go to Contra Costa Fire for approval), only some of which the farm could fulfill, as Central San is legally the applicant and the land owner. Many of these Conditions of Approval were completed in 2016. Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Retreat in January 2017, then County's Chief, Annexations & Economic Stimulus Programs Rich Seithel presented the CoCo San Sustainable Farm and Greenhouse as one of the most important projects for economic development in the county, especially on the Northern Waterfront. Contract with Board of Supervisors. In March 2017, AgLantis obtained a $50,000 contract 1 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 368 of 534 Page 16 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 from the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors toward the construction of the greenhouse. Subsequently, then County's Chief, Annexations & Economic Stimulus Programs Rich Seithel requested that AgLantis be brought into the discussions and we were allowed for the first time to attend meetings with DCD and Public Works and other departments. Because Central San was the applicant, we had previously not been allowed to attend negotiations with staff such as those with the Airport Land Use Commission staff. On March 24, 2017 AgLantis met with DCD and Public Works staff. This gave us a clearer idea of some of the incomplete Conditions of Approval that AgLantis could work on and we immediately did so. Most of these have been completed. However, some have proved to be significant barriers. C-3: The March 24, 2017 meeting and a subsequent meeting with Public Works brought to our attention a problem that we did not know existed. Public Works staff told us that Central San had included their recycled water fill station road in the farm's Land Use Permit and by doing so had used up all but a few square feet of the impermeable surface the farm was allowed without tripping C-3 requirements, putting the burden on the farm to mitigate for the fill station's nearly 10,000 square feet of impermeable surface. We learned that Central San in paving the fill station driveway was going to pave the first 100 feet up to the farm gate as described in the Land Use Permit, but Central San would have exceeded the 10,000 square feet allowed without tripping C-3, and they would have had to mitigate for their fill station, so instead Central San did not complete the connection to the farm and stopped around 9,977 square feet (or some such) leaving the farm to deal with the consequences of Central San's construction project and requiring the farm to pave approximately 25 feet of land not rented by AgLantis and not described as our pavement in the lease or the LUP. Our understanding from Public Works is that Central San's engineers submitted a proposal that paved that 100 feet to the farm gate as the LUP said they would, but then they tripped C-3 so they withdrew this proposal, leaving the farm with no impermeable surface left for the farm and therefore necessarily to deal with the consequences of Central San's fill station. Central San could easily have dealt with the C-3 mitigation themselves, as they have acres of land for self- treating and only they have the power to enter into a contract to maintain this self-treating mitigation with the county. The farm could have avoided tripping C-3 requirements, had Central San not put their recycled water fill station into the farm's Land Use Permit, but had applied for their own separate permit, which is what Public Works said they should have done. This has caused considerable time, expense and headaches and delays trying to figure out how to mitigate. Our lease did not state that Central San would put their projects into AgLantis'Land Use Permit and that we would have the burden, engineering, financial, time, and delays of figuring out the environmental mitigation (C-3) for Central San's fill project. Furthermore, AgLantis cannot fulfill this Condition of Approval on its own, because it requires the land owner to enter into agreements with public works. Because there were not two permits giving each party 10,000 square feet impermeable surface to stay under not to trip C-3 requirements, AgLantis is left holding the bag for Central San's impermeable surface and the financial costs for mitigation and for Public Works time processing and costs. This has delayed in our progress. AgLantis modified the site plan so that AgLantis does not trip C-3 requirements on our own. These time-consuming modifications were made by volunteer Civil Engineer Mike Milani. https://miIanieng.egnyte.com/dl/GNeZYBklXz 2 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 369 of 534 Page 17 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 Fire: We have encountered another unexpected barrier. It was always discussed that the farm would use recycled water for fire as no potable water is available on that section of Imhoff that leads to the farm or any other tenant. After the March 24, 2017 meeting, Dr. Phinney visited the Fire Department to discuss their requirements, as was noted in the COAs that Fire Approval was needed. The person at the desk provided helpful information and went back to talk to the Fire Marshall, who said he had never heard of this farm and that Fire should have been consulted before the Land Use Permit was issued. We were told a special permission would be needed to use recycled water for fire. Later conversations took place with Fire Inspectors by Mike Milani and also with Dr. Phinney. We were both told that same thing, that special permission would be required. We were told that we needed to put water tanks on the farm for fire, holding approximately 35,000 to 40,000 gallons of water, which tanks were not included in the original Land Use Permit and Site Plan which now must be amended. (Note: In 2018, the Fire Marshall disallowed the use of recycled water for fire prevention. Dr. Phinney checked with her Moraga Orinda Fire District and they do use recycled water for fire, as does Livermore and San Diego and many others. EBMUD does not object to the use of recycled water in their district, according to an email from Board Member Marguerite Young, but she noted that their recycled water lines do not provide the volume and pressure typically needed for fire. She noted that indirect and direct potable reuse will bring recycled water to fire automatically in the future. Don Berger reported that Central San already uses recycled water for fire sprinklers in its plant and has purple recycled water hydrants on site. Now, the farm has the burden of either overcoming this barrier with hundreds of hours of political lobbying or with considerable expense to bring in potable water and time and expense of negotiating with fire to meet their auto-refill requirements. This issue has already been brought to the attention of Assemblywoman Baker, Senator Glazer, Supervisor Mitchoff, Supervisor Glover, Supervisor Burgis and Congressman Jerry McNerney.) Title 22: As described in the lease, Central San is applying to modify their existing Title 22 permits to include agriculture and fire. Mike Milani has donated the engineering for the detailed site and irrigation plan needed for Title 22, coordinating with Central San staff and consultants. Current Site Plan: https://miIanieng.egnyte.com/dl/GNeZYBklXz Irrigation: Once Title 22 approval for the irrigation plan is obtained, AgLantis will apply for grants from Lowes Foundation and others to help pay for the irrigation equipment. (10,000 linear feet of 1/2" drip irrigation line has already been purchased at a 75% off sale). AgLantis will look for a supplier of the 1" purple perimeter supply pipe needed to run recycled water to the entire site. This will be installed in segments and capped off, so that zones of a few acres will be completed with everything needed to water crops before moving forward to do another zone. Irrigation is essential because rain has been too unpredictable to even grow a winter cover crop. Soil Amendments. NRCS: "Soil health, also referred to as soil quality, is defined as the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans." In order for soils to be healthy, it is vital that soils have living organisms that release the nutrients needed by plants. Healthy soils support plant roots that secrete strigolactones, which attract and feed mycorrhizae and bacteria. The microorganisms mine 3 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 370 of 534 Page 18 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 water and phosphorus from surrounding soils and barter for the photosynthetically produced carbohydrates. As the mycorrhizal hypha move through soils, they produce glomalin, providing soil structure and tilth. These billions of bacteria, fungi and other microbe require carbon sources as well as living plant roots. Once populations are established, healthy soils become an ecosystem that provides nutrients for plants, a buffer for heavy rain events and a filter for pollutants. Soil health is negatively impacted by compaction; high nitrogen fertilizers, tilling and flooding, all of which kill the microbiota needed for healthy soils. Soil health is encouraged by compost, mulch, cover-crops and no-till practices. As stated in our previous business plan, the farm required soil amendments 15 tons per acre for 10 acres (ideally 250 tons of compost or wood chips or other soil amendment). We had an opportunity to receive a nearly million dollars in-kind donation of spread mulch from EcoMulch. This donation was obtained by Bethallyn Black to provide much needed organic material. We then received a large donation of organic horse manure which we accepted to put over the mulch to create "lasagna" compost on the site. County Quarry has donated tractor and time to spread the manure. We have significant compaction problems, because this is not farmland, but rather a clean fill project. We do not want to destroy the microbial soil life, so we may plant deep rooted radishes as was suggested by our local NRCS advisor to break up the compaction. The amendments will eventually work down into the soil, as the organisms do their work. Infrastructure: RPZ Fence. Despite the Land Use Permit's Conditions of Approval being incomplete, we decided that the Land Use Permit process was far enough along that we had confidence that everything could be worked out. Thus we decided to build the fence around the Runway Protected Zone, our first infrastructure in mid-2017. More fence has been donated, but not enough to fence the entire farm. The 2 other sides of the farm will be fenced as funds are available. The west side of the farm is fenced by county, which needs to be repaired. The non RPZ part of the south side of the farm is fenced by CalTrans and is in good repair. Vandals have cut a hole in the RPZ fence, which will be repaired. As Board Member Nejedly predicted early on, vandalism is likely to be an ongoing problem — one that urban farms must deal with at a higher rate than rural farms. Critical Infrastructure Needs: More infrastructure needs to be built which includes more fencing, a short road, water tanks for fire, PG&E connection, plan, and meter; and irrigation. We cannot move forward with most of this without: 1) Fire approval; 2) C-3 Plan to mitigate 4 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 371 of 534 Page 19 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 Central San's Fill Station being in our Land Use Permit; 3) Public Works approval; 4) County Zoning Administrator's approval of the revised Site Plan with the water tanks; 5) Title 22 approval. Short Road: County Quarry has donated recycled asphalt and promised to build the road to the greenhouse as soon as we have the permits needed. Greenhouse. We have gained considerable support needed to construct the 144' X 42' AgraTech Solar Light greenhouse. We have raised another $10,000 from Michael Cunningham, Chancellor of National University System; and received a $50,000 contract to erect the greenhouse from the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, as well as other financial support from our local community. We have raised most or all of the money for the basic greenhouse construction costs. We have talked to the Building Department about the steps involved in obtaining the permit and obtained a fee estimate. Next steps include: finishing the Conditions of Approval from the Land Use Permit; obtaining a Geotech soils report with survey and site map; and bringing all of these and Engineering Plans to the Building Department for approval and issuance of a building permit. 2) ENVIRONMENT: Protection and Enhancement Erosion Control and Healthy Soils. EcoMulch donated approximately 25 acre-feet of mulch and spread it. This provided erosion control and adds much needed organic matter to the soil. Mulch also suppresses weeds. Chris Beardon has donated organic aged horse manure and will continue to do so until he has donated about 12 acre-feet of manure. County Quarry is spreading the manure over the mulch as a donation. The soil was clean fill, barren of organic matter and weedy, so this has been a critical step in building healthy soil. Mulch and manure create a compost "lasagna" which is not only amending the barren soil, but acting like a huge sponge to stop runoff during heavy rains. Increased soil organic matter greatly reduces future water needs, while helping plants and microbes to sequester carbon in the soil. Urban Agriculture and Environment. One of the most important features of our farm is promoting moving as much of agriculture as possible into cities. This could allow the use recycled agricultural grade water, which is readily available. A sustainable food system not only feeds people, but also reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the food system by reducing food miles and sequesters carbon, cleaning urban air. I�y/fes k 5 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 372 of 534 Page 20 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has stated that over a 20-year period, agriculture accounts for about 22 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (https://www.greenbiz.com/article/how-rehab-our-soil-changing-climate). Our project demonstrates the environmental benefits of growing produce right in the center of a densely populated urban environment. The only known way to actually reverse global warming is to sink carbon in soil. Conventional agricultural practices release carbon that is stored in the soil. Carbon Sequestration in Soil. AgLantis teaches and demonstrates sustainable methods that decrease GHG emissions and sequester carbon. We use principles of agroecology and regenerative agriculture. Photosynthesis (CO,uptake) ZFARM BON N"01 NO. CH. N �CO= ACH, N Compost BiOmosS � fixation • CO, CO, p "'nrP fir?yJ' Litterfoll Recycled Water/ No Fossil Fuel Based Fertilizers. Growing near a water reclamation facility allows the use of recycled water with little electricity used in pumping water. Recycled water is high in nitrogen and phosphorus, nutrients critical to plant growth. These nutrients provided in the recycled water eliminate the necessity of using fossil fuel based fertilizers, which emit nitrous oxide -- a very long-lived GHG. Using the recycled water for agriculture has the added benefit of keeping these nutrients out of the watershed, where they have a negative impact potentially fostering algae growth and reducing the watershed's ability to sequester atmospheric carbon. Low Electricity Use. Pumping water uses about 10% of the electricity used in the state of California. Growing food adjacent to a water reclamation facility greatly reduces the GHGs due to electricity generation for water pumping. No-till. Tilling releases CO2 into the atmosphere. Tillage also disturbs the habitat of the micro-organisms that sink carbon into the soil as part of the natural carbon cycle. We demonstrate no-till methods of building soil organic matter with compost and manure. 6 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 373 of 534 Page 21 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 Y _ - 1 1 A i w sd1 Cover-crops. Instead of killing micro-organisms, we want to feed and protect them by planting cover crops. Photosynthesis takes atmospheric carbon and transfers it to the micro- organisms that sequester it into the soil. Although we planted cover crops, we had over a month of no rain in December and January. Drought killed what we planted. At our Drawdown Event, we sold some of our cover crop to backyard gardeners. One participant grew it using Central San's recycled water from its HHW facility. Above are photos of our cover crop seeds grown in his yard. Once our irrigation system is installed, we can fill in for mother nature with recycled water. No-pesticides. We will use no pesticides. Pesticides kill the micro-organisms that sink CO2 into the soil. Low Water Use Methods. Our farm will also use drip irrigation to demonstrate low water use methods which not only conserve water and reduces pumping of water. Transportation. By growing right in the middle of an urban area, we dramatically reducing the GHGs due transportation miles from farm-to-fork. 3) EDUCATION: Soil Science; Carbon Sequestration; Sustainable Agriculture Scientists and other experts believe that one of the only known ways to reverse the anthropogenic GHGs that cause Global Warming is to increase carbon sequestration in soil. Conventional agriculture increases GHGs, while sustainable agriculture (e.g., agroecology, permaculture, bio-intensive practices) sink carbon and reduce GHG emissions due to agriculture. Our educational outreach this year has focused primarily on sustainable practices for agriculture and gardening, including soil science and carbon sequestration. (See https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/farming-as-solution-to-climate-change/). The Marin Carbon Project has demonstrated that the single application of composted green waste amendments to rangeland increased soil carbon sequestration an average of 1 ton/hectare (-2.5 acres) every year for 3 years. Net ecosystem carbon storage increased by 25-70% without including the compost carbon, while having no effect on nitrous oxide or 7 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 374 of 534 Page 22 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 methane emissions. In addition, compost led to increased water-holding capacity in soils. IMPLICATIONS: Sequestration of one metric ton per hectare on half the rangeland area in CA would offset 42 million metric tons of CO2e, an amount equivalent to the annual GHG emissions from commercial and residential sectors. (See http://www.marincarbonpromect.org/science/land-management-carbon-sequestration and http://onlinelibrarV.wiley.com/doi/10.1890/12-0620.1/abstract). The State of CA has started the Healthy Soils Initiative to deploy this research to sink carbon. Our farm uses healthy soils methods to build our soil organic mass and we educate the public about methods. Drawdown kq) W 0 OWN YtiMr THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE PIAN EVER PROPOSED TO REVERSE GLOBAL WARMINt FRIUI BYPAULhA`+VKIN - TZM F-1 Drawdown Event. Over 100 citizens, elected officials, staff and students attended our October 14, 2017 "Drawdown" event with Bahman Sheikh, Ph.D. talking on "How Recycled Water Can Help With The Global Warming Problem." Bethallyn Black, M.A. talked about "How You Can Reverse Global Warming." Michael R. McGill, P.E. Central San Board Member spoke about "The Future of Water'; Cindy Gershen talked about the Mt Diablo Unified School District's Nutrition and Culinary Program. MDUSD students attended the event. Alex Brendel's talk was on `Biochar. Sequestering Carbon in Soil."A presentation on the CoCo San Sustainable Farm was given by Carolyn Phinney, Ph.D. Central San was kind to host in its Multipurpose Room because fires in Northern CA caused air to be too toxic to be outside, also allowing us to use PowerPoint, which is not possible on the farm. �R [oCo San Sustainable RIM 253�9500 _ M 8 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 375 of 534 Page 23 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension's Leadership Wisconsin Program: 16 students and community leaders came to visit the farm on September 13, 2017 to learn about urban farming and recycled water and also about non-profit leadership. Central San Board Member Paul Causey, P.E. and Jean Marc, P.E. attended. Paul Causey gave an overview of the beneficial uses of recycled water. Robb Kingsbury E.E. also participated. ,M it I �. mss_, We also have an extensive educational reach and social media campaign on Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/383856271668096/ and (now hacked and vanished) page https://www.facebook.com/aglantis/; Twitter AgLantis@CoCoOrganicFarm; https://www.slideshare.net/carolynphinney; and other social media such as Linkedln https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolVn-r-phinney-ph-d-94779412/ and newsletters through our website www.Salads4SchooIs.org, reaching thousands of citizens. We use these outlets to educate the public about sustainable living and practices that they can change to increase carbon sequestration in their own backyard soils and other environmental issues, including water issues, Global Warming, soil and water pollution, and much more. Estimated total outreach is many tens of thousands. 4) ECONOMY: Job Training and Creation Contra Costa County is an urban area uniquely positioned for urban farming with: an abundance of local recycled water, otherwise wasted; a perfect Mediterranean climate for growing; deep agricultural roots/knowledge; existing non-profits working on sustainable food systems; and an excellent network of local community colleges and universities ready and waiting to participate. We will be hiring individuals who already have some training in greenhouse growing, possibly from Diablo Valley College. We will extend their training as they work in the greenhouse. Training and classes in the fields of the farm will include such topics as: Safety, Measurement; Plant Science; Soils Science; Water Science; Weather; Basic Physics; Irrigation Design and Management and more which are relevant to local jobs. 9 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 376 of 534 Page 24 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 Our greenhouse provider is located in Pittsburg, CA and is built by one of the five largest greenhouse companies in the US — AgraTech. These greenhouses are built with USS. Posco Steel in Pittsburg, CA. We hope to stimulate the closed environment agriculture industry, particularly to develop along the Northern Waterfront where recycled water could be made available because it is nearby. Adding greenhouses near water reclamation facilities can boost local fresh produce production and create green and other jobs in urban areas, dramatically cutting the carbon footprint of produce production and distribution. Farmers can add a greenhouse and boost farm net income of approximately $75,000 per year, saving local family farms and adding jobs. We are working closely with the Contra Costa County Department of Conservation and Development and County Supervisors, the Workforce Development Board, EC2: The Collaborative, John F. Kennedy University, National University, Contra Costa Community Colleges and economic leaders in the county and will use the farm and greenhouse to foster economic development and job training in the County. Our project was featured at the Board retreat of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors (in 2017) as part of the county's economic development plan for the Northern Waterfront. We will be trying to involve Future Build of Pittsburg (a job training program) in the construction of our greenhouse this year and other aspects of the built world. It is widely hoped that our greenhouse project will be replicated and will provide not only local food, but green jobs training and jobs. Our project may foster local businesses. The construction of the greenhouse and engineering designs for the farm alone promotes: AgraTech; USS Posco Steel (Pittsburg); AgCon Construction (Pittsburg); Milani Engineering, Morris-Schaffer Engineering and more. Then there will be hydroponics equipment, irrigation, tools, fencing, etc. The economic multiplier of our urban farm alone is significant. If replicated, it may be a major factor in creating jobs in Contra Costa County and beyond as closed environment agriculture is likely to be the future of food and other industries, including medicinal. 10 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 377 of 534 Page 25 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 SCALABLE Water reclamation facilities in San Francisco Bay Area discharge as much as a trillion gallons of water in a year into the Bay waterways. They also have thousands of acres of buffer land. Contra Costa County alone has over 5000 acres of buffer land. Our model is scalable and potentially can be replicated on and near other treatment facilities to increase water recycling. PROPOSED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR FOLLOWING YEAR Central San obtained the Land Use Permit effective January 6, 2016. Unfortunately, that was not the end of the bureaucratic impediments to moving forward. The Land Use Permit included Conditions of Approval which we have been completing. As stated above, some have provided unexpected barriers. Capital improvements planned for 2018 include: 1. Install short recycled asphalt road to provide fire access to greenhouse; 2. Install more fencing; 3. Create an Electrical Engineering Plan for PG&E; connect to 3-phase connection point, meter and install wiring (we may start with temporary construction power only); 4. Install water tanks as required by Contra Costa Fire; 5. Install some water lines and/or irrigation connecting to the Central San recycled water line with meter; 5. Build some or all of the greenhouse foundation and structure. NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS About 100 people have volunteered in some capacity such as: civil engineering; electrical and construction consulting; recycled water consulting, organizing, cooking, serving and otherwise helping with the events; teaching and lecturing; donating materials such as compost and manure, spreading each of these; planting seed and cactus; weeding; moving small storage pods donated by Diablo Valley College; and all the tasks and jobs completed by the AgLantis Board members and those who help them directly and indirectly. ALUC Term Sheet and BIRD and WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT The RPZ fence and gate were completed, one of the first requests of the ALUC. Birds were managed by covering most of the property with thick mulch which prevented birds from reaching worms and weed seeds on all but the road. Subsequently, only an occasional bird was seen on the farm, with no food source available or large ponds of water available. A few very large jack rabbits have been seen on the farm. However, two coyotes were also seen on the farm and they seem to be keeping down the mammal population. We are rarely at the farm, as it is not under operation yet, so regular logs are not possible. However, few birds and other wildlife on the farm are present when we are there to observe. Instead, birds 11 May 17, 2018 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 378 of 534 Page 26 of 90 AgLantis Annual Report for 2017 frequent the East side of the property controlled by Central San where food and water are readily available. The cover crops we planted received immediate rain and then never grew for lack of rain, conformed to the ESA recommendations. All of our activities complied with the ALUC Term sheet.
