May 2, 2019 TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: DANEA GEMMELL, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION MANAGER REVIEWED BY: JEAN-MARC PETIT, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES KENTON L. ALM, DISTRICT COUNSEL ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIVE AGLANTIS 2018 ANNUAL REPORT RELATED TO THE COCO SAN SUSTAINABLE FARM PROJECTAND FARM RELATED UPDATES Annual Report Central San approved the Lease Agreement (Lease)with AgLantis for the CoCo San Sustainable Farm Project (Farm) on April 17, 2014 with a 10-year term that expires on April 16, 2024. The terms of the Lease provide for an Annual Report and an updated Business and Strategic Plan to be submitted annually by April 1 st of each year. AgLantis submitted its 2018 Annual Report on April 1, 2019, and included its planned activities for the following year. Staff prepared the attached table, which outlines the first three year's performance goals and compares with AgLantis' progress described in the Annual Report. I n summary, AgLantis has made progress/met each of the four goals outlined for Year 2 (2018). Planned activities for 2019 performance metrics are presented under Year 3. County Stormwater Management Facilities Operations and Maintenance Agreement The Contra Costa County Public Works Department (County) reached out to staff to discuss entering into a Stormwater Operations and Maintenance Agreement (Agreement)with Central San for the Kiewit parcel. Per Stormwater C.3 provisions, the County requires property owners to enter into these agreements for properties that install greater than 10,000 square feet of impervious surface. Central San installed pavement for the driveway and for the Recycled Water Automatic Filling Station. AgLantis has submitted improvement plans related to its roadway and 6,000 square-foot greenhouse construction. Roof surface area is included in the calculations for impervious surfaces. With the improvements from both AgLantis and Central San constructing impervious surfaces, the 10,000 square-foot threshold will trigger the Agreement. Typical terms will require Central San to be responsible for operations and maintenance to ensure that stormwater stays onsite, the property is inspected annually, and right of entry is allowed to the County for inspection.

One of our primary purposes is to grow fresh produce to local schools and donate or sell it for a low cost to the Contra Costa/Solano Food Bank. 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. The field crops will yield many thousands of pounds of produce when in full production. Our greenhouse will be able to able to further boost yield. Title 22 and Irrigation System: Central San obtained Title 22 approval in Summer 2018 after submitting the detailed engineering and irrigation plans developed by Bethallyn Black, M.A. and Mike Milani, P.E. with their time being donated. AgLantis installed the hookup, shut off valve, filter and several hundred feet of 2" irrigation pipe, valves and 2700' of drip line in late summer to reach the first rows of field crops. Central San turned on the water on October 1, 2018. Harvest Donated to Food Bank: After the recycled water was turned on, Diablo Valley College Horticulture students planted seeds on October 3, 2018. This was a pilot to determine if the mulch and organic manure in this area of the farm had broken down enough for growing crops. Acalanes High School students covered the seeds with crop covers. We were excited to see that our organic seed flourished in our amended soil and grew abundantly in recycled water. We planted crops that could take cold weather — radishes, kale, lettuce, peas. Our first harvest of these crops was donated to the Contra Costa/Solano Food Bank on November 19, 2018. More produce was harvested two more harvests and donated in December 2018. 1 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 138 of 194 - 7. �i 4 al� r Y + � fi Page 5 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 v lam' �l I J 1 _JCUMBERS Air, WA rA� 1✓3 "LWj 3rd Harvest Produce to Food Bank December 2018 3 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 140 of 194 Page 6 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 Fence: Fencing for the East and most of the North side was ordered in 2018. Alta Fence was backordered and we had to wait many months for them, but they are the contractor who installs for Central San and the County and they installed our RPZ fence, so we decided to wait because of the high quality of their installation (they install posts to a greater depth than other installers). They installed posts for most of this fencing but was rained out before it could be completed. They will return to finish the fencing when the soil is dry enough to support their heavy equipment. We are not going all the way to the West fence line to stay out of the way of levy improvements anticipated from Contra Costa County Flood Control. December, 2018: Alta Fence Installed Fence Posts for Eastern and Northern Fence and Gates r. A JL Greenhouse Project: The donation of the Solar Light Greenhouse by AgraTech was a mixed blessing. It has greatly increased the importance of the farm for economic development, job training and education. At the same time, it has turned the farm into a land development project with all of the expenses and county approvals associated. Fire: Two submissions for approval have been made to Contra Costa Fire Department and we are awaiting final approval. Because of a reliable water source to the farm (no potable water), fire required approximately 22,000 gallons of water be stored on the farm. Five tanks of 5,000 gallons each have been purchased and delivered. iEL Five 5,000 gallon water tanks delivered 4 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 141 of 194 Page 7 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 Fire must now approve the plumbing plans that have been submitted and road design and other improvements. Land Use Permit: The Land Use Permit that was obtained by Central San is being updated and completed with the greenhouse moved to the North end of the property, the preferred location by Fire (near Imhoff Drive) and also the only location close to a 3-phase PG&E power pole for adequate power to operate the greenhouse. Water tanks for fire water are added. The Department of Conservation and Development informally gave the okay and told us to get approval of other departments before coming back to them for a formal change to the Land Use Permit. The next step is to obtain Public Works approval (under review at the time of this Annual Report). Because we had already tripped C-3, we made other changes to the site plan to make a pathway for wheelchairs and added a permanent container with recycled asphalt pad and other conveniences such as paving the driveways to the barn and container. Surveying: A licensed surveyor and has offered to donate his time to provide the site surveying for all the development on the farm. Road: County Quarry has donated recycled asphalt and promised to build the farm roads as soon as we have Fire and Public Works approvals, which are pending. Building Permit. After all of the other departments have approved, we will obtain our Building Permit for the Greenhouse. We expect to obtain this in 2019. Greenhouse Construction. County Quarry has offered to donate the recycled asphalt and construct the floor of the greenhouse, as soon as necessary approvals are received and the soil is dry enough for this work. Estimates in excess of $60,000 for concrete precluded using concrete for flooring. Recycled asphalt is advantageous because it is not slippery when wet, absorbs water and easier on those standing on it that concrete. It also does not have the negative environmental impact of concrete. However, this is a novel flooring for a greenhouse, so we hope it works! If so, it is another demonstration of the use of recycled materials otherwise wasted. Structural Engineering Upgrades for California Building Code: A structural engineering firm was hired to provide the list of necessary parts to upgrade the greenhouse to current California Building Code Contract with Contra Costa County. In March 2017, AgLantis obtained a $50,000 contract from the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors from the Contra Costa County Community Benefit Fund toward expenses for anything required to complete the greenhouse. The contract period was March 7, 2017-March 6, 2019. Some of the funds were invoiced and dispersed in 2018. 2) ENVIRONMENT: Protection and Enhancement Ecological Restoration, Fertility and Hydrology: We spent several years trying to build soil fertility in dirt that had been imported from all over the county prior to our taking possession of the property. We were able to obtain approximately 30 acre-feet of mulch from EcoMulch in Pacheco and another approximately 10 acre-feet of horse manure. We expect to be finishing 5 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 142 of 194 Page 8 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 covering the mulch with horse manure in 2019. County Quarry is spreading the manure over the mulch as a donation. The carbon from the mulch and nitrogen from the manure are being used to increase soil organic matter (SOM), which not only built the fertility necessary to sustain plant life but also began to restore the hydrologic cycle on this land and dramatically increase water content of the soil even in dry months. Summer students dug a soil pit in late June and found the soil under the mulch to still be damp. Likewise, our irrigation contractor found the soil he dug under the mulch/manure to be damp in September, after many months without rain. 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. Much of our public education outreach is about how to increase carbon sequestration in soil. 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. Our farm demonstrates the value of placing urban farms next to water reclamation facilities, especially on public buffer land. This dramatically reduces the amount of electricity required to irrigate crops. 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. No-pesticides and No Fossil Fuel Based Fertilizers. We used no pesticides to grow our crops and the produce was in excellent condition, flourishing on on the recycled water. Pesticides kill the micro-organisms that sink CO2 into the soil. Cover-crops. Our mustard and vetch cover crops flourished in 2018 covering more than 5 acres with mustard and vetch (see yellow mustard below) and other crops. We also planted bell bean cover crops in some of our planting beds to help foster the breakdown of the mulch and increase soil fertility. Those crops are growing profusely and we will use the seed to plant more areas in 2019. Cover crops enhance soil organic matter and photosynthesis taking atmospheric carbon and transfers it to the micro-organisms that sequester it into the soil. Mustard Cover Crop flourishes with rain 6 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 143 of 194 Page 9 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Food by Reducing Transportation. By growing right in the middle of an urban area, we dramatically reducing the GHGs due to transportation miles from farm-to-fork. We delivered our harvests to the Food Banks, which is less than a mile away. 3) EDUCATION: Summer Urban Farming Classes: Summer 2018 we embarked on our first hands-on summer camp for local youth. We hired a recent graduate from the University of California, Santa Cruz's Environmental Studies program, who had expertise in Horticulture and Regenerative Agriculture. She taught two high school students and two community college students who lived in Pleasant Hill for approximately one month, providing hands-on STEM experiences. Students also toured Central San and all were interested in future internships. Community College students received college credit for this experience. We developed a curriculum (see Exhibit 1) for future use, expecting to use this with WIOA interns in summer 2019 (https://www.doleta.gov/wioa/). t� R a AgLantis Summer Camp students dug a soil pit to test soil and look at soil moisture (Above). AgLantis Summer Camp students toured Central San (Below). e8 e i'�✓'" 7 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 144 of 194 Page 10 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 Los Medanos College came to the farm in both spring and fall to learn about regenerative agriculture and soil carbon sequestration and to volunteer to help install irrigation. The fall class came when irrigation was being installed and learned some basics of irrigation systems. It was too hot to allow them to do volunteer work. Fir fi 4 Los Medanos College Ecology students visit farm to learn about soil carbon sequestration Urban Farming and Regenerative Agriculture Event with Bethallyn Black: We also held an urban farming event on September 29, 2018 to teach basics of regenerative agriculture, explain what we were doing to create soil and we were planning to plant seed, but we discovered the recycled water was shut off. After listening to talks approximately 80 participants ages 18 and older finished building 2000' of planting beds and enjoyed a nutritious lunch together, building community as well as planting beds.

This was a pilot to determine if this area of the farm had broken down enough for planting. October 3, 2019: Diablo Valley College Horticulture students plant seeds Acalanes High School students covered the seeds with crop covers. We were excited to see that our organic seed flourished in our amended soil and loved the recycled water. We planted crops that could take cold weather — radishes, kale, lettuce, peas. Our first harvest of these crops was donated to the Contra Costa/Solano Food Bank on November 19, 2018. More produce was harvested and donated in December 2018, totaling over 200 pounds of greens demonstrating the viability of the soil we built with mulch and organic manure. > it s; October 6, 2019: Acalanes High School Students finish putting on crop covers 9 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 146 of 194 Page 12 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 Social Media Educational Outreach: AgLantis has a significant social media public education reach on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest and reaches the public with information about recycled water and water reuse, regenerative agriculture, increasing soil organic matter, carbon sequestration in soil, climate change, restoring hydrologic cycle, carbon cycle, fire prevention, ecosystem restoration and other environmental topics. Nutritional information and information about urban farming and sustainable agriculture and water protection such as saving the Delta is also promoted. Tens of thousands of people are reached through social media. Conferences:AgLantis also provides educational outreach at conferences and events on approximately the same topics covered above for Social Media outreach. 4) ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT and JOB TRAINING: 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 have interns in our greenhouse, some of whom will already have some training in greenhouse growing probably from the Horticulture program at Diablo Valley College. Sustainable agriculture in the field also involves education and the development of green job skills and knowledge that are transferable to other industries. iZF�� -.1. r7F Y yOIL e6 7Nz; - 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. 10 May 2, 2019 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 147 of 194 Page 13 of 20 AgLantis Annual Report for 2018 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 Capital improvements planned for 2019 include: 1. Install recycled asphalt road to provide fire access to greenhouse, barn and container; 2. Finish installing East side fencing and most of North side fencing; 3. Install plumbing for water tanks as required by Contra Costa Fire; 4. Install more irrigation; 6. Install recycled asphalt pad for greenhouse, barn and container; 7. Purchase and Install steel container; 7. Erect greenhouse; 8. Connect to PG&E or establish a renewable energy source;. NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS Two to three hundred people have volunteered in some capacity such as: civil engineering; electrical engineering, construction consulting; recycled water consulting, organizing, cooking, serving and otherwise helping with the events; teaching, organic farming consulting, building planting beds, planting seeds, weeding, harvesting, installing irrigation, donating materials such as compost and manure, spreading each of these; in addition to 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 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 little to no food source available. We had a southwest area of the farm under crop production during the last 3 months of 2018. Most of our crops were covered with cloth. We heavily watered the seeds or planted just before rain, which deters birds from eating the seeds. We did not see birds on our planting beds, whether covered or uncovered. We saw no mammals on the farm this year. We are only at the farm on an infrequent basis. All of our activities complied with the ALUC Term sheet.
