North Delta Water Agency
What is NDWA?
 Approximately 300,000 acres in Legal Delta
 Water Contractor with DWR since 1981
 Agency collects an assessment from all
landowners, to pay DWR, Admin and Legal
 DWR has upheld the Contract for 30 years
 Contract is in perpetuity unless both parties
agree to terminate
NDWA Contract with DWR
 Provides for:
1. “Assurance of a Dependable Water Supply
(Quantity) of Suitable Quality” (Salinity)
2. Prohibits SWP from causing decrease or
increase in natural flow, or reversal of flow,
or alteration of water surface elevations
3. Requires repair of levee erosion, seepage,
or diversion facility modification
BDCP Burden v. Benefit
NDWA BURDEN
 All five 3,000 cfs intakes (large urban intakes in Delta are
approx. 300 cfs, avg. is 30 cfs)
 4-story Dam (750-acre forebay)
 15,000 cfs Intermediary Pumping Plant (possible electrical
substation)
 80,000-100,000 acres converted to habitat (1/3 of acreage in
Agency, not counting mitigation of conveyance)
 Potential loss of Agency’s Assessment for habitat (DFG has
NOT paid for their lands)
BDCP Burden v. Benefit cont’d
 Reduced water quality
 Increased flood risk & higher flood
insurance
 Reduced property values
 ESA take exposure without protection of
HCP
 Reduced mitigation lands for local projects
 Additional growth restrictions in Delta
NDWA Burden v. Benefits cont’d
NDWA BENEFITS
 NONE
“Persons in one county should NOT be
compelled to subsidize, even at fair market
value, the construction of a project that will
entirely benefit persons in another county.”
This is NOT co-equal by anyone’s definition.
BDCP Hurdles = Time & $$
 Need USACE permits for almost all BDCP
Conservation Measures
 Need permit for Division of Dam Safety for the 4-story,
750-acre forebay
 Soils in location of 4-story Dam do NOT meet DDS
requirements
 Need FERC permits for power to the 15,000 cfs
Intermediate Pumping Plant
 Even simple HCPs normally take 10 years to permit
BDCP Hurdles cont’d
 Intermediary Pumping Plant location is a known
perennially wet area of RD 551 and will become wetter
when unlined forebay built
 DSC considers whether consistent with Delta Plan
 BDCP projects are covered actions under DSC, subject
to appeal by “any person”
 Legal challenges can take decades (40 yrs for
EBMUD/Sac County)
 COST – How much & who pays? Any of these hurdles
will increase the current estimated cost
Preserving Delta As Place
 Agriculture is primary land use, existing of Prime
Farmland, conversions be limited
 Require willing sellers for habitat restoration
 Uphold existing Delta Plans, Agreements, Laws,
Contracts
 No re-directed or reduced level of flood protection
 Provide enforceable assurances to Delta
landowners for ESA impacts and Good Neighbor
Policies for lands adjacent to projects
Delta As Place cont’d
 Share ESA “take protection” in BDCP with Delta
 Compensation program and funding for third-
party impacts (erosion, seepage, ESA, methyl-
mercury, mosquitoes, etc)
 Assure “reliable water supply” for in-Delta use
 Secure endowment to pay for third-party impacts,
habitat management, local government
taxes/assessments
Delta Fix?
 Already begun with local water supply
projects funded in SDCWA and other export
areas, reducing Delta reliance
 Is solution a 20th Century Peripheral Canal,
Delta Corridor improvements or future
technologies not even invented yet?
 What can “beneficiaries” afford? Especially
if 2012 bond delayed or voted down
Questions SDCWA should ask
 Is engineering design feasible? At what cost?
 What size canal/pipe do you need?
 What is cost of Delta water with new canal?
 When could construction of BDCP be
realistically completed? 2025? 2035? 2050?
 Is BDCP a wise investment or a boondoggle?
 What is Plan B if BDCP is not permitted? Or
permit conditions too costly compared to
benefits received?

North Delta Water Agency - Melinda Terry - Sept. 22, 2011

  • 1. By Melinda Terry, Manager North Delta Water Agency
  • 2. What is NDWA?  Approximately 300,000 acres in Legal Delta  Water Contractor with DWR since 1981  Agency collects an assessment from all landowners, to pay DWR, Admin and Legal  DWR has upheld the Contract for 30 years  Contract is in perpetuity unless both parties agree to terminate
  • 3. NDWA Contract with DWR  Provides for: 1. “Assurance of a Dependable Water Supply (Quantity) of Suitable Quality” (Salinity) 2. Prohibits SWP from causing decrease or increase in natural flow, or reversal of flow, or alteration of water surface elevations 3. Requires repair of levee erosion, seepage, or diversion facility modification
  • 4. BDCP Burden v. Benefit NDWA BURDEN  All five 3,000 cfs intakes (large urban intakes in Delta are approx. 300 cfs, avg. is 30 cfs)  4-story Dam (750-acre forebay)  15,000 cfs Intermediary Pumping Plant (possible electrical substation)  80,000-100,000 acres converted to habitat (1/3 of acreage in Agency, not counting mitigation of conveyance)  Potential loss of Agency’s Assessment for habitat (DFG has NOT paid for their lands)
  • 5. BDCP Burden v. Benefit cont’d  Reduced water quality  Increased flood risk & higher flood insurance  Reduced property values  ESA take exposure without protection of HCP  Reduced mitigation lands for local projects  Additional growth restrictions in Delta
  • 6. NDWA Burden v. Benefits cont’d NDWA BENEFITS  NONE “Persons in one county should NOT be compelled to subsidize, even at fair market value, the construction of a project that will entirely benefit persons in another county.” This is NOT co-equal by anyone’s definition.
  • 7. BDCP Hurdles = Time & $$  Need USACE permits for almost all BDCP Conservation Measures  Need permit for Division of Dam Safety for the 4-story, 750-acre forebay  Soils in location of 4-story Dam do NOT meet DDS requirements  Need FERC permits for power to the 15,000 cfs Intermediate Pumping Plant  Even simple HCPs normally take 10 years to permit
  • 8. BDCP Hurdles cont’d  Intermediary Pumping Plant location is a known perennially wet area of RD 551 and will become wetter when unlined forebay built  DSC considers whether consistent with Delta Plan  BDCP projects are covered actions under DSC, subject to appeal by “any person”  Legal challenges can take decades (40 yrs for EBMUD/Sac County)  COST – How much & who pays? Any of these hurdles will increase the current estimated cost
  • 9. Preserving Delta As Place  Agriculture is primary land use, existing of Prime Farmland, conversions be limited  Require willing sellers for habitat restoration  Uphold existing Delta Plans, Agreements, Laws, Contracts  No re-directed or reduced level of flood protection  Provide enforceable assurances to Delta landowners for ESA impacts and Good Neighbor Policies for lands adjacent to projects
  • 10. Delta As Place cont’d  Share ESA “take protection” in BDCP with Delta  Compensation program and funding for third- party impacts (erosion, seepage, ESA, methyl- mercury, mosquitoes, etc)  Assure “reliable water supply” for in-Delta use  Secure endowment to pay for third-party impacts, habitat management, local government taxes/assessments
  • 11. Delta Fix?  Already begun with local water supply projects funded in SDCWA and other export areas, reducing Delta reliance  Is solution a 20th Century Peripheral Canal, Delta Corridor improvements or future technologies not even invented yet?  What can “beneficiaries” afford? Especially if 2012 bond delayed or voted down
  • 12. Questions SDCWA should ask  Is engineering design feasible? At what cost?  What size canal/pipe do you need?  What is cost of Delta water with new canal?  When could construction of BDCP be realistically completed? 2025? 2035? 2050?  Is BDCP a wise investment or a boondoggle?  What is Plan B if BDCP is not permitted? Or permit conditions too costly compared to benefits received?
