Concord Community Reuse Project Development White Paper
Prepared by Danea Gemmell, P.E.; Planning and Development Services Division Manager
Reviewed by Jean-Marc Petit, P.E.; Director of Engineering and Technical Services
Scope
This white paper will provide: a) some background of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District (Central San) and Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) interactions with the City of
Concord (Concord) for development of the Concord Community Reuse Project (CCRP) for
both sewer and recycled water infrastructure needs; and b) identify outstanding items
needed for both financial and contractual requirements in order to move the project forward.
These two items are in bold in the paper below.This white paper may also help identify policy
decisions for Central San's Board of Directors and for the Concord City Council.
Background
In 1972, Congress enacted the Clean Water Act,which is the primary federal law in the United
States governing water pollution. This law gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
the authority to implement pollution control programs such as setting wastewater standards
for the industry and provided for a construction grants program to fund construction of
wastewater treatment plants. Shortly thereafter, the California Regional Control Board—San
Francisco Bay Region and State Water Resource Control Board (Regional Board) advised
Concord that State and Federal grant funds would not be available to Concord for any
upgrades at its wastewater treatment plant. The Regional Board directed Central San and
Concord to negotiate a fair and equitable agreement between them to treat the wastewater
on a more regional basis. On September 10, 1974, both Central San and Concord entered into
an Agreement for Central San to furnish sewer treatment and disposal services for Concord,
the Town of Clayton (Clayton), and those areas in the unincorporated Contra Costa County
within the sphere of influence of Concord.
The Agreement and its subsequent amendments allow for the cost recovery of such
treatment to be in relation to the direct flow proportionality received by Central San from
Concord (and Clayton) and is measured in a volumetric basis by three flow meters within
Concord's service area and then compared to the total of influent flow meters for Central
San's wastewater treatment plant(WWTP). In fiscal year(FY) 2017-18, Concord's wastewater
contribution was 4.265 billion gallons or 34.1% of the 12.513 billion gallons of total
wastewater treated at Central San. Table 1 shows a 10-year historical trend of Concord flow
versus total flow measured at the Central San WWTP.

Central San's WWTP was expanded during the mid-1970's to meet the new Clean Water Act
provisions and provide sufficient capacity to serve Concord. At that time, Central San's
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit required advanced
wastewater treatment and water reclamation for resale, so the treatment plant expansion
included provisions to construct a filter plant as part of the grant funded construction. Soon
after the construction was complete, the advanced treatment/water reclamation provisions
were removed from Central San's NPDES permit. During the grant close out, a settlement
agreement was negotiated with the EPA with the condition that Central San would promote
the cost-effective use of reclaimed water within its service area and utilize the grant-funded
filter plant to produce this water.
In the early 1990's, Central San entered into an agreement with CCWD which allowed Central
San to supply recycled water for irrigation and industrial uses for an area called "Zone 1",
located in western Concord and Pleasant Hill. In order to produce and delivertertiary recycled
water that complied with Title 22, California's Code of Regulations for the production of
recycled water, Central San spent $4.1 million to modify the existing filter plant to produce
3.8 million gallons per day (mgd) and constructed approximately 4,350 feet of 24-inch
recycled water distribution pipeline into Zone 1. As development of a cost effective recycled
water program was an EPA requirement to utilize the grant-funded facilities, Concord shared
in the capital cost, based on the wastewater flow proportional percentage. Therefore, as
Central San has received revenues from Zone 1 recycled water customers, Concord has
shared in the revenues based on the same flow proportional percentage. The bulk of the
recycled water produced at the plant is for onsite use in the treatment of wastewater. In
2018,the treatment plant was the largest user of recycled water with 316 million gallons used
while Zone 1 customers used 222 million gallons for a total of 538 million gallons produced'.

Development of Concord Naval Weapons Station
In 2005, the Concord Naval Weapons Station was approved for closure by the U. S.
Department of Defense, and shortly thereafter, Concord began to plan for the eventual use
of the site. A portion of the site is located in Central San's service area and a portion is in
Concord's service area; Attachment 1 illustrates these boundaries. Central San annexed its
service area in the Concord Naval Weapons Station in 1967.
Early planning efforts for the sewer facilities considered two main possibilities of conveying
some, or all, of the CCRP flow via option 1: west through Concord's sewer system and then
north to the WWTP; or option 2: north into the Central San's North Concord trunk sewer
system and then west to the WWTP.Average wastewater flows were estimated at 95 percent
of indoor water demand, based on a residential indoor water demand factor of 60 gallons per
day/capita and non-residential demands based on industry standard S2. Based on these
factors, the total ultimate average dry weather wastewater flow was estimated to be 2.9
mgd.
In 2009, Central San provided a will-serve letter to Concord and CCWD to provide recycled
water up to 3,000 acre-feet per year for the CCRP's preferred development plan which
included a mixture of commercial, residential, institutional, and recreational uses. In 2010,
the CCRP Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was completed and included recycled
water demand scenarios of up to 2,749 acre-feet per year(-2.5 mgd)for landscape irrigation.
In 2016, Concord selected Lennar Concord LLC (Lennar) as the Master Developer for the
development of Phase 1 and the Master Utility Infrastructure Plan for the CCRP. Lennar's
term sheet for Backbone and Offsite Infrastructure Costs was stated as $288.8 million. This
estimate covers all project infrastructure needs including sanitary sewer,storm drain, potable
water, recycled water, and dry utilities.
Sewer Alignment
As previously introduced, the CCRP site is located within service areas for both Concord and
Central San. Concord documents being prepared for the Specific Plan EIR indicate that the
ultimate sewer alignment will try to minimize downstream system upgrades within both
service areas. Carlson Barbee & Gibson (CBG) has developed two alternatives (Attachment 2)
as part of its preliminary engineering for Lennar. In the first alternative, CCRP wastewater is
partially conveyed to both Central San and Concord, with the break line along the ridgeline,
arranged to avoid downstream improvements within the Concord system. In the second
alternative,wastewater is conveyed entirely to the north to Central San's system.The optimal
design is not intended to change service area boundaries, instead it is intended to develop

DRAFT May 30, 2019
the most optimal engineering design for the system, and most cost effective (both from
capital expenditure and operational expenditure standpoints). All memoranda and
correspondence to date indicate that Central San and Concord will work out the alignment in
the future. Central San would like to start discussions with Concord to determine the final
sewer design alignment.
Discussion of three considerations that should be taken into account as part of the decision
include:
1. Minimizing Offsite Improvement Costs
Engineering design standards use peak wet weather flows to determine capacity needed for
sewer pipe size and for pump station sizing. As mentioned previously, the CCRP estimated
dry weather wastewater flow is 2.9 mgd; corresponding peak wet weather flows are
estimated at 6.42 mgd3. In 2010, Central San engaged RMC Water and Environment, an
engineering consulting firm (now Woodard and Curran), to provide alternative alignments
and cost estimates on the CCRP. We have updated these cost estimates based on the CBG
flows and two schematic wastewater alignments in Attachment 2. Both alternatives require
offsite improvements for the northern connection under Highway 4 from the CCRP along
Kinne Boulevard to Central San's Concord Industrial Pump Station (CIPS). Additionally, both
alternatives require small pump stations within the development to convey wastewater over
the ridge within the project area.
For the first CBG alternative, costs to take approximately 3.3 mgd of flow from Central San's
service area are approximately $20 million ($11.3 million in pipeline upgrades and $8.6
million in CIPS improvements). Based on Concord's Brown and Caldwell 2011 report, costs to
take the remaining flow from Concord's service area are $13 million (2011 estimate), which
is approximately $16.5 million in 2019 dollars; this brings the estimated total for offsite
improvements to $36.5 million for Alternative 1.
For the second CBG alternative, which would send all of the flow north through Central San's
wastewater system, Woodard and Curran estimates $28.1 million in offsite improvements
($17.5 million in pipeline upgrades and $10.6 million in CIPS improvements), expressed in
2018 dollars.
Lennar has requested information on future reimbursements. As defined by Central San
District Code Section 6.20 Reimbursement Fees, Central San has a procedure in place that
allows for reimbursement of offsite sewer costs. "Reimbursement fees will be calculated by
dividing the sum of all allowable costs of the standard or special facility by the total number
of connections or residential unit equivalents which could reasonably be physically connected
directly to the facility in the case of standard facilities, or could reasonably be served by the

Point dated April 30,2018

November 18, 2019 Special REEP Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 13 of 71

DRAFT May 30, 2019
facility in the case of special facilities." While Central San has a mechanism in place for
reimbursements, Concord will need to be involved to coordinate a sewer reimbursement
with other potential reimbursements due to the complexity of phasing and lot sales to other
developers during all phases of the development.
2. Concern of Sewer Service Charge Differences/Disparity
At a joint Concord City Council-Planning Commission meeting on June 5, 2018, there was
concern raised about disparity between neighbors with respect to sewer service charges
(SSC). Table 2 below summarizes the residential rates of both agencies, as of FY 2019-20.
Table 2:Comparison of SSC between Central San and City of Concord:FY 2019-20
Single Family $598 $637
Multi-Family $566 $637
(Apartment, Condos, Others)
Central San receives ad valorum property tax which is primarily used as a pledge for debt and
its sewer construction fund. Concord receives a larger percentage of ad valorum property tax
which is used as a general fund with none going to their separate sewer enterprise fund. For
the CCRP, disposition of ad valorum property tax has not been determined yet, so it is difficult
to calculate what this amount could add to Central San customers.
3. Sewer Service Area
Central San's treatment plant has the capacity to treat all wastewater flows from the CCRP,
regardless of conveyance splits/alternatives. As previously discussed, Concord pays for their
wastewater treatment services on a proportion of flow basis, which is currently at 34.1%.
With new flows coming into the plant, these flow percentages will adjust up or down
depending on the source of flows coming through the WWTP. Table 3 below shows an
estimate based on flows assumed for the CCRP.

DRAFT May 30, 2019
The future build-out projections for the CCRP will result in an approximate two-percent increase
in Concord's flow proportional share, however, this will fluctuate over the next 25 to 30 years.
As Phase 1 of the CCRP is primarily in Central San's service area, there will be trend downward
on flow proportion that will shift when Phases 2 and 3 are constructed. Central San has
maintained all along that it does not want to cede any of its service area nor annex Concord's
service area. Therefore, additional flow meters may need to be installed within the CCRP, if all
flows come through Central San's service area in order to maintain the current contract terms.
Recycled Water Demands
Estimates
In its proposal, Lennar provided ambitious sustainability goals to include recycled water, not
justfor irrigation, but also dual plumbing.As stated in Lennar's proposal, "Early wateranalysis
shows that the community can save approximately 1 billion gallons of potable water through
water efficient landscaping and use of recycled water for irrigation. Recycled water for
flushing in high density areas will further reduce potable water demand by approximately 100
million gallons each year."
Early in the process, Central San assumed an average daily recycled water demand of 2.5 mgd
with maximum day peaking factors of—2.3, which equates to a maximum day demand of 5.8
mgd. Due to the variety of potential recycled water uses (i.e. irrigation, industrial cooling
towers, and residential dual plumbing), Central San had requested updated recycled water
demand assumptions, especially since only irrigation uses were originally considered.
CBG, Lennar's engineer, provided updated flows in 2018 for an average day demand of up to
1.63 mgd at ultimate build-out'. Proposed uses are cooling in multi-family, commercial, and
institutional buildings; irrigation of public spaces; and irrigation of all private outdoor spaces
within multi-family, commercial, and institutional developments. Updated peaking factors
may need to be studied to more adequately provide a maximum daily demand. Central San
analyzed its Zone 1 recycled water area in the Diamond Boulevard area of Concord and
Pleasant Hill and determined a 3.8 peaking factor.As this is an older established development
that may not have conservation efforts as ambitious as the CCRP development, it could be
considered a maximum range.With a range of peaking factors from 2.3 to 3.8 and the average
daily demand of 1.63 mgd; recycled water demand is estimated between 3.75 mgd and 6.2
mgd for the CCRP. As the retail water purveyor, CCWD should weigh in on the appropriate
peaking factor assumption to be used.

Point dated April 30,2018

November 18, 2019 Special REEP Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 15 of 71
Page 8 of 14
DRAFT May 30, 2019
This information is critical for Central San to determine its overall recycled water needs and
availability. There are other projects being considered that would commit a significant
volume of recycled water. For example, Central San is currently conducting a Preliminary
Feasibility Evaluation for the Refinery Recycled Water Exchange Project as part of a 2018
three-way Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was signed by and between Central
San, CCWD and Santa Clara Valley Water District. Per the terms of the MOU, Central San
would provide up to 22,000 acre-feet per year (approximately 19 mgd) of recycled water to
the two local refineries near its WWTP. As such, all recycled water commitments must be
properly accounted for to ensure available capacity,especially on maximum day demand.The
Water Exchange Project is likely to produce recycled water from the remaining available
water supply; therefore, Central San will need to reserve adequate supply for the CCRP, as it
will be developed over a 25-to 30-year time frame.
Recycled Water Phasing
The current concept to deliver recycled water to the CCRP is for Central San to produce and
wholesale recycled water to CCWD, which would then be responsible for conveyance,
storage, and retailing the recycled water to customers within CCRP development. Recycled
water demands have been discussed for the fully built-out CCRP development and are
estimated between 3.75 mgd and 6.2 mgd for ultimate build-out.
Lennar's development agreement is only for the first phase, a footprint of approximately 500
acres and is estimated at 0.33 mgd average day demand (0.8 mgd to 1.3 mgd peak day
demand). The ability for Central San to produce recycled water for all three CCRP
development phases has not been evaluated. Existing recycled water treatment facilities may
have a limitation in being able to meet the full Phase 1 demands.A major recycled water filter
plant rehabilitation project is scheduled for 2020 to 2024 and should provide some reliability
to the facility. Available capacity may produce from 0.8 mgd to 1.0 mgd of recycled water for
the Phase 1 CCRP development. While there may be some minor capacity available in the
existing filter plant to serve some of Phase 1 demands, infrastructure to deliver recycled
water from the WWTP and onsite storage facilities will need to be constructed for, or by,
CCWD in Phase 1. In order to serve the recycled water demands for the ultimate build-out,
the recycled water filter plant will need to be expanded and upgraded.
In 2011, Central San prepared a planning level project cost estimate with a 25-percent
estimating contingency. For the recycled water offsite improvements, that was $46 million in
totals. Tertiary Treatment Plant upgrades were estimated at $15.1 million (Central San);
transmission main from WWTP to CCRP was estimated at $22 million (CCWD); and
construction of storage facilities was estimated at $9 million (CCWD). These costs and the
engineering assumptions need to be updated to current dollars and confirmed as to the
approach by the respective lead agency responsible.

DRAFT May 30, 2019
Lennar's proposal provided the following statement regarding phasing the construction of
recycled water facilities. "The CCCSD will need to expand their existing recycled/ tertiary
treatment plant to supply the recycled water demand of the CCRP. In addition, several miles
of off-site recycled water main will need to be constructed to deliver recycled water from the
expanded recycled water plant to the CCRP. The construction of these facilities will be phased
over time so recycled water mains will be connected to the potable water system initially and
switched over as recycled water becomes available."Additionally, CBG outlined the Backbone
Infrastructure by Development Stage' as only including "Backbone Recycled Water Mains"
for all three stages of Phase 1.
There is concern that Lennar's proposal does not appear to include the cost of offsite
improvements for recycled water infrastructure. CCWD wrote a letter to Concord on February
17, 2017, "strongly encouraging the City to incorporate the project's commitment to recycled
water into the initial phase of the development including the most cost effective construction
approach to provide recycled water to new home buyers as soon as possible." Central San
supports CCWD's position and requests confirmation from Concord that the offsite
infrastructure will be included in the Specific Plan and financed by the developer.

Minutes in italics. Actions preceded by -:�
The group initiated the meeting by going around the table providing introductions.
Guy Bjerke provided an update on the project timeline and indicated they expected to have a
public draft of Specific Plan and EIR by end of January 2020.
I. CCCSD White Paper
Sewer
- Latest demand estimates
Angelo indicated demands remained the same except for two issues: 1) updating
for ADUs and Density Bonus units and 2) determining whether the 260,000 sq.
ft in additional buildings at TSC were beyond the original 8.4M sq.ft. of
commercial. Guy and Sheela agreed that they were and thus the demands would
be updated in the SP/EIR, but that they were not expected to move the needle.
4 Five Point to provide updated sewer demands to City for Draft EIR.
- Sewer Alignment(WPR improvements vs. pump station option)
City indicated desire is to maintain boundaries as shown in Figure I (white
paper) and that Figure 2 with alignment going both ways was City's preference,
due to desire to maintain gravity flow. Danea noted either with Figure 2 or 3,
CCCSD would need to upsize pump station footprint requiring more land(land
is available in parking lot). Danea noted that preliminary costs had been
determined(Woodard and Curran)for each. Central San noted the upgrade of
pump station is not programmed into their CIP, at present. Jean-Marc also noted
that in either case the pump station would need to be upgraded and that
additional land adjacent to the existing station would need to be acquired.
Angelo noted a 3-year timeline on planning and design would be required. All
agreed that decision on alignment needs is Phase I decision and needs to be
decided very soon. Sheila noted they believe that Figure 3 had been assumed for
cost model, so further discussions with City is necessary. 4 Five Point/City to
have follow-up call to discuss two options.
Recycled Water
- Latest demand estimates; assumptions (including peaking factor)
- Avg. day demand up to 1.63 mgd at build out
- Peaking factor 3.8 to 6.2mgd; Peak daily demand of 6.2 MGD for build out
- Recycled water phasing
- Offsite improvements for recycled water infrastructure.

Danea and Jean-Marc confirmed CCCSD would be wholesaler and CCWD
distribution including storage and pumping for recycled water. Jean-Marc noted
some storage would be required on site. Jean-Marc noted they are currently
taking some recycled water improvements to the Board(Stantec) to improve the
existing Recycled Water Facilities for current use. They will be utilizing an SRF
(State Revolving Fund) 30 Million dollar loan; but this does not address CRP
improvements. CCCSD indicated they would add more treatment and
storage%apacity later for CRP; currently don't have funding for CRP; this
would be beyond the $33 Million required. Danea stated she is trying to
understand the CRP timing and phasing better to prepare for planning of
improvements. Angelo noted programming is for Phase I to have recycled water;
desire to have all recycled water within first S years (Phase ]). Guy noted Phase
I is expected to be 10 years. Jean-Marc stated that knowing more specifically
when the recycled water will be needed would assist them in better planning for
additional capacity needed. Joan noted FivePoint has a phasing/staging
schedule which could be provided. �Five Point to provide latest
phasing/staging schedule to CCCSD (Danea).
II. Chapter 6 - CCCSD comments
- Recycled: Supply for Phase 1 Expansion of filter plan needed for ultimate build-
out; -:�Phasing/staging to be provided to CCCSD.
- Recycled: Treatment of TSC—Included for irrigation.
- Recycled: transmission pipeline-timing—Prior to Phase 1; CCWD is using third
party to prepare recycled water standards to be adopted as part of design process.
- Wastewater: Treatment of TSC—Additional demands being calculated as noted
above; expected to have minor increase,for ADUs and Density Bonus which could
occur, that are being analyzed for EIR, .
III. Facilities
- Recycled water filter plant expansion/upgrade—timing 2020 to 2024
Jean-Marc noted how quickly you are needing water will help CCCSD determine in
part their timing for the needed capacity expansion to serve the CRP. He noted Title
22 will be the water quality produced for Recycled, suitable for landscaping. It was
noted that any additional treatment to meet WQ requirements for cooling towers or
even dual plumbing would have to be done on-site in CRP area. Jean-Marc noted
that as part of the current project designed by Stantec that they estimated the needed
improvement and estimated the costs for the CRP project$35 Million for entire 6.2
mgd. Could be some cost savings if the two were done together at once. Angelo
questioned whether a portion of costs would be captured through connection fees?
Danea noted general policy is development pays for development but the specific
approach on CRP is a CCCSD policy question that has not been decided by CCCSD
Board of Directors. Jean-Marc noted the improvements and phasing will be
important to that discussion as it could defer or spread cost over time.
IV. Next Steps
4 Five Point to provide updated sewer demands to City for inclusion in EIR.
4 Five Point/City to have follow-up call to discuss two sewer alignment options.
4 Five Point to provide latest phasing/staging schedule to CCCSD (Danea).
