City of Pleasanton purchases 80 percent of supply Zone 7 through an annual ConVactor/Purchase delivery request, Table 8 Water Demands by <br />Customer from the 2005 Zone 7 Water Agency Urban Water Management Plan, page 35. <br />b. This assumes curtailment by SWP to Zone 7; and 25% cutback to Zone 7 water retailers; however, additional supplies would come from other <br />Zone 7 sources as shown in Table 5-2. Zone 7 did cutback full delivery in past dry year scenarios (1929-1934); (1977); (1987-1992) and it <br />reasonable to assume that this would happen in the future. <br />c. In 1991 and 1992 only voluntary demand reduction stages were implemented from the City's drought ordinance; the City experienced a high <br />level of customer cooperation. 2002 City of Pleasanton, Urban Water Management Plan, page 10-4. <br />d. City staff met with the Tri-Valley Water Retailers group to continue contingency planning. A joint publication will outline the issues, address the <br />reduced pumping, and request a 10% voluntary conservation effort;. Even without the pump shutdown, the Tri-Valley Retailers would be looking <br />for improved conservation methods due to the dry winter season. Operations group has been coordinating with adjacent jurisdictions to assure <br />that water is moved throughout the region to avoid one retailer absorbing the full effect of a pump shutdown.

Historical Project-Site Demands <br />Historically, the Staples Ranch project site has been used for non-irrigated agriculture. Currently, <br />the County allows dry-land hay production as a means of fire control. Therefore, the proposed <br />project gross water demands are also considered the net change in water demands. The calculated <br />demands for proposed project demands would be greater than existing demands. <br />6.1.3.2. Projected Project Demands <br />The expected water use of the proposed project was determined by analyzing demand based on lot <br />size and the associated demand from parks, open space and roads. To determine the water <br />demand factors of the proposed project, water use demand factors were formulated based on data <br />from the 1994 Proposed Water Demand/Wastewater Generation Factors Report by Nolte <br />Engineering and West Yost and Associates, as well as current and historical uses at similar facilities <br />along with information from City and Zone 7 staff. <br />A final land use plan has not been approved; accordingly, Table 6-8 presents the current proposed <br />land uses and available land use options. The calculated demand represents the worse-case <br />scenario of the potential demand for the proposed project. As stated in the Project Description, in <br />July 2007 the City Council determined that 5 acres of the 16-acre retail/office land use could also be <br />used for a joint neighborhood park/stormwater detention facility. As a result of this action, this <br />analysis employed the higher water demands associated with the 16-acres of retail/commercial to <br />calculate aworse-case water demand scenario. As such, the water demands at the Neighborhood <br />Park are not counted in total water demand. Table 6-8 shows that the proposed project would <br />contribute approximately 349 AFA in water supply demands above the existing demands. <br />6.1.3.3. Projected Dry-Year and Multiple Dry-Year <br />In dry years, it is anticipated that the proposed Staples Ranch demand of approximately 349 AFA <br />will not change unless retailers and consumers are specifically asked to reduce demands. <br />P:\Projects - WP Only\41162.01 Staples Ranch WSA\Final\Final WSA.doc 6-5 <br />
