ACTION: MOTION BY VICE MAYOR CHRISTIANSON, SECOND BY COUNCIL
MEMBER RIVOIRE, CARRIED 5-0 to adopt Resolution No. 10893 (2018 Series) entitled
“A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California approving a
Negative Declaration (EID 1455-2018) and Amendments to the Water and Wastewater
Management Element of the General Plan (GENP-1454-2018)” with the following changes
to Chapter 8 Water and Wastewater page 8-9:
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) is a statewide law that empowers
requires local agencies to adopt groundwater management plans that relate to the needs and
resources of their communities. In 2017, the City became a Groundwater Sustainability
Agency (GSA) over the area of the San Luis Obispo Valley Groundwater Basin, designated
by the California Department of Water Resources as a Medium Priority Basin, that lies
beneath and within its jurisdictional boundaries.
And
Recycled water is highly treated wastewater approved for reuse by the California
Department of Public Health for a variety of applications, including landscape irrigation and
construction dust control. Completed in 2006, the Water Reuse Project created the first new
source of water for the City since 1961 following construction of Whale Rock Dam. The
Project resulted in improvements at the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility and an
initial eight miles of distribution pipeline. The City’s first delivery of recycled water took
place in 2006. The City estimates demand exists for approximately 1,000 acre feet of
recycled water for landscape irrigation and other approved uses. In addition to landscape
irrigation, the City is examining several alternatives for maximizing the long-term beneficial
use of recycled water. Alternatives include providing groundwater recharge within the San
Luis Obispo Valley Basin for indirect potable reuse (IPR), or direct potable reuse (DPR).
Additional information is provided on recycled water in subsections A 3.0, A 7.0, and B 3.0
of this Element and in the 2017 Recycled Water Master Plan.
