SUWNCT: NACIMIENTO 'WATER
DATEt JANUARY 27, 1995
Needs: For the North County Council members to receive
this update of the proposed Nacimiento Water
Pro j;, ct axld affirm the importance of the project to
the- orth county communities.
Facts: 1. The first phase (Preliminary Evaluation and
Environmental Review) of the Nacimiento Water
Project was completed in Jure of 1994.
(Excerpts are attached) .
2. The communities of Atascaderor Paso Robles,
Santa Margarita and Templeton have requested a
total of 9,320 acre feet of water from this
project.
3. Total water available from the Nacimiento
water project is 16,200 acre feet.
4. County-wide requests total 16,001 acre feet.
5_ The Board of Supervisors at their December 6,
1994 meeting approved the Phase II
Participation Agreement for engineering
feasibility report and environmental impact
report.
6. Most agencies have approved the Phase II
Agreement at this time.
Analysis
and
conclusion., The agencies in the North County '', have joined
together to support this project which will insure
a long terve reliable source of water.. The first
phase study completed in June of 1994 answered a
number of questions regarding the project such as:
• Reliab-ility
Water quality
January 30, 1995
JAN 30 '95 02;50PM P.3i32
• Pipeline alternatives
• These issues are addressed in the attached
"Executive Summary" for the Phase I Report.
As the County Plood control District proceeds with
Phase II of this project, a "Participatts Advisory"
committee will be established to help advise the
District through the process.
Fiscal
Impact: Attached to this report are excerpts Brom the Phase
I report _illustrating estimated construction and
funding costs and project time table. Water is
projected to be available for delivery, should the
project go forward, by the year 2001.. Based on
Alternative No. 1 estimated costs areas follows:
Estimated cyst for Atascadero - $802.00/AF
Estimated cost for Paso Robles - $639~00/AF
Estimated cost for Santa Margarita - $1,065.00/Ar
Estimated cost for Templeton - $670.00/AF
options: 1. Affirm the need for the North County to
establish a reliable water source other than
groundwater and communicate the urgency of
continuing with Phase II of the project to the
District.
2. Receive this information and take no formal
Council action at this time.
3. Amend, modify or reject the above: options.

Executive Summary
a 1959,the San Luis Obispo County blood Control and Water
Conservation District(District)executed an affom=t with Monterey
C County Water Resources Agency entitling the Cpwaty of San Luis
Obispo to 17,500 acre-feet per year(AFY)of supply from Nacimiento

in and around the lake.
Nwimiento Reservoir has long been rernonized as a significant,viable
dement is the County of San Luis Obispo's regional water supply prc gram.
Interest was heightened following the collective decis to bene&from 4,830

E ,Stn Luis Obispo's report was published in October 1993,cmmments word received from affeetod
regional water supply parties(Appendix B),and this final report was published
program. The reliability assessment,published in Novcmber 1992 concluded that
`Nadmiento Reservoir could have supplied 100 percent of the San Luis
Obispo District's entitlement ftom October 1950 thrOx&November 1990.
Even in the[critical)year of the[1987-1992]drought,Sen Ltris Obispo could
have received its fall 17,500 acre-foot entitlement- Uc District authorized
Boyle to proceed with evaluating the distribution of the full 17,500 AFY
crgidem=.
Following the reliability assessment,28 entities entered into a reservation
agreerac t with the District to participate in the subsequent project study
�- phases. Requests for water total 26,321 AM 1.5 times the amount available
under existing contracts. Thus,it was necessary to explore project
alternatives that allocated the available water.
Two principal route alternatives were considered;the Cypress Mountain
Route and the Salinas Valley Route_ It was detemmed that the Salinas Valley
Route traversed the areas of demand more favorably than the Cypress
Mountain Route. It would also permit more construction m existing roads and
rights-of-way,which is favorable from an environmental impact stand point_
Four project altcrn nicer were examined along the Salinas Valley Route:
Alternative 1: North County Treated Water Alternative
Alternative 2: North County Raw Water Alternative

For each project alftmati%%requests along the aligtuneot were"scaled down"
to stay within the 17,500 AFY available. Ztequesta were scaled down thmugh

A preliminary ec000mie analysis concludes that treated wauw can be delivered

Needs: For the North County Council to consider joint
acts as-. regards the proposed Salinas Reservoir
Expansion by the City of San Luis Obispo.
1. The City of SLO is proposing the expansion of
Facts., 1.
Salinas Reservoir.
2. A number of member agencies have concerns
regarding the reservoir expansion as well as
the dam transfer and water right$ issues.
3. Some agencies such as Ataseadero Mutual Water,
TCSD and City of Paso Robles, have actively
sought clarification of the project impacts
and alternatives to the proposal' by SLO.
4. The. City of Paso Robles will be:, meeting with
City of sLo in February, 199$ to further
discuss the issues.
i5. Central to the many issues involved is the
protection of Salinas River water for the
North County and mitigation of the
environmental impacts to downstream users.
Analysis
and
Conclusion: The City of San Luis Obispo is planning to modify
the existing dam at the Salinas Reservoir (Santa
Margarita Lake) . As part of the project they are
planning to install spillway gateg on the dam
spillway structure.
These gates wera originally in the 'design of the
dam but were not constructed, most 'likely due to
the war effort at that time. The City now proposes
to install the gates which will add 20 feet Of
additional storage height.
