• Staples Ranch Agreement—Carollo team will participate in discussions with the City and other parties as appropriate concerning the provision of recycled water to Staples Ranch, and suggest an approach to addressing key issues that should be addressed by an implementing agreement. • Other Project Agreements — Carollo team will conduct a workshop to review the legal and institutional agreements required to implement the preferred project(s), and to discuss their possible terms and conditions. The workshop is currently envisioned to include both the City and other agency parties to potential Agreements. • Summary of Agreements of Preferred Project(s) —A description of the multijurisdictional and interagency agreements necessary for implementation of the preferred project(s) will be included in the feasibility study, and will contain a comparison of key issues, terms and conditions. Split of Services under Task 4: Carollo team: - Review existing agreements and historic relationships between parties. - Identify permits, ordinances, standards, and agreements necessary to implement one or more alternatives - Provide examples of relevant water recycling agreements from other areas - Convene and facilitate meetings between public agency stakeholders, individually and in concert. Zone 7: - Provide existing relevant agreements for review, or summaries at minimal -Mend meetings and provide input as needed Task 5. Environmental Analysis A preliminary evaluation of the environmental issues related to the construction and operation of the City's proposed recycled water program will be prepared. The purpose of this evaluation is to identify the potentially significant environmental impacts that each scenario could have on the environment. The information developed will be designed to assist the City and Bureau of Reclamation (BoR) to determine the potential environmental impacts and what will be required to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Carollo will use a modified CEQA checklist to assess the potential impacts on endangered/threatened species, public health or safety, natural resources, regulated waters, and cultural resources, among others. This CEQA checklist will be modified to include and address specific issues associated with NEPA as well as CEQA. For the potentially significant impact(s) identified, Carollo will identify appropriate mitigation measures and strategies to attempt to avoid and/or reduce those impacts to less than significant levels. A key consideration will be to address potential salt and nutrient loading on the Main Basin as a result of increased recycled water use. The Carollo Team will work closely with the City and Zone 7 to assess the need for additional demineralization facilities, or efforts, as part of implementing the proposed recycled water project.
