Gray Davis Governor r-n* MnrJnlp Section , By Tob Dot* DEC 6 2001 Mr. William E. Plummer Deputy City Engineer City of Carlsbad 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 Dear Mr. Plummer: FACILITIES PLANNING APPROVAL, CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT (DISTRICT), SAN DIEGO COUNTY, PHASE H ENCINA BASIN WATER RECLAMATION PROGRAM PROJECT (PROJECT), WATER RECYCLING CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM (WRCP), PROJECT NO. C-06-3903-110 The Division of Clean Water Programs (Division) has reviewed your application and facilities planning documents dated December 20, 2000. The District has requested grant and loan funding to construct the Encina Basin Water Reclamation Facilities (EBWRF) Phase n through the Office of the Water Recycling's grant and loan program. We have reviewed the District's supplemental information provided in response to our comments to the facilities planning review. The Division hereby approves the concept of constructing the project as generally described in the Facilities Planning Report and as further described in this letter. Our approval is based on the following determinations: 1. The facilities planning documents meet the 1997 water recycling funding guidelines. 2. The environmental documentation meets the CEQA requirements; the Division's Environmental Services Unit approved the documents on November 15, 2001. 3. The receipt of an adequate draft revenue program. The draft revenue program was approved on November 8, 2001. 4. The receipt of the adopted water conservation plan. The water conservation plan was adopted by the District in August of 1991. The estimated eligible cost for the EBWRF Phase U construction is $36,000,000. Enclosure No. 1 provides a cost breakdown of the EBWRF Phase n project. The State Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB) loan and grant funding distribution will be as follows: Eligible Construction Loan Portion Grant Portion $31.65 million $4.35 million Construction Allowance Loan Portion Grant Portion $4.75 million $0.65 million *MEiru 1 tun ,P S ~ 6'fl/^ '%//./ rmia Environmental Prott \ \ ,\ ; I H V i crioK Agency DEC 6200!Mr. William E. Plummer - 2 - ELIGIBLE PROJECT DESCRIPTION The EBWRF Phase I, constructed in 1994 through the WRCP, is currently producing a total of 3 mgd of recycled water from the Meadowlark Water Reclamation Plant (MWRP) and the Garner Water Reclamation Plant. The total EBWRF Phase If recycled water supply will be increased from the current 3 mgd to 8 mgd. 1 mgd from MWRP and 4 mgd from CWRF. The MWRP expansion is not being funded. The following project components proposed under the Phase n EBWRF will be eligible for WRCP grant and loan funding: Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility (CWRF) Construction of a 4 mgd advanced tertiary water recycling facility to meet Title 22 requirements. The advanced tertiary facility utilizes two independently operated systems consisting of granular media and membrane/reverse osmosis filtration processes on a site adjacent to the existing Encina Wastewater Treatment Plant (EWWTP). The treated water from both filtration processes will be blended to maintain a total dissolved solids limit not to exceed 1,000 mg/1. The advanced tertiary plant will include an influent pump station, an influent equalization reservoir, a recycled water storage reservoir, recycled water effluent pump station, sodium hypochlorite disinfection system, and a plant control building. The influent to the tertiary facility will be treated effluent from the EWWTP. The following describes the proposed CWRF components and their corresponding capacities: Plant components Capacity Units #of pumps/units Filters: Granular Media Filtration 3,000 gpm Membrane/Reverse Osmosis 810 gpm Influent: Influent Pump Station 3,000 gpm 4 Equalization Storage Reservoir 3.75 mg Effluent: Recycled Water Pump Station - 10,000 gpm (peak) 4 Recycled Water Storage Reservoir 3.75 mg Chlorination/Dechlorination: Chlorine Contact Basin 345,000 gallons Sodium Hypochlorite system 400 #/day Solids Handling: Sludge Thickener 700 gpm California Environmental Protection Agency Recycled Paper Mr. William E.

Each pressure zone is designed around existing water pressure zones and storage facilities. Each zone is designated by its corresponding elevation in relation to the mean sea level as follows: • Zone 260, the lowest pressure zone, consists of approximately 780 feet of eight-inch diameter pipelines servicing the coastal region. Recycled water to this zone is supplied from the existing Zone 384 through a new pressure reducing station; • Zone 384 ties directly to the recycled water effluent pumping station at the CWRF. It also incorporates the existing "twin D tanks" (potable make-up water and recycled water supplied by Gamer WRP). Zone 384 consists of approximately 35,440 feet of four-inch diameter to 24-inch diameter pipelines; • Zone 550, the largest of the four pressure zones, serves higher elevations to the east of Zone 384. The Zone 550 incorporates a new proposed "D" tank pump station to boost water from the 384 zone to the 550 zone, and improvements to the Mahr Storage Reservoir (MSR). It also includes the Calavera pump station which is a closed loop pumped zone (no storage) pumping from the 384 zone to the 550 zone. Zone 550 consists of approximately 86,266 feet of four-inch diameter to 24-inch diameter pipelines; and • Zone 660 is a closed loop pumped zone with no storage provisions. Water supply to Zone 660 will be from Zone 550 through the proposed Bressi 660-booster pump station. Zone 660 consists of approximately 7,320 feet of four-inch diameter and eight-diameter pipelines.

The MSR will be used to provide seasonal and emergency storage to the recycled water distribution system. The proposed improvements to the MSR include: • Dredging, cleaning and fine grading the reservoir bottom • Modifying the inflow and outflow structures, and site piping • Adding an aeration/destratification system • Adding a chlorination system • Site work improvements including paving the existing access road • Installing a floating cover ELIGIBLE DESIGN CAPACITY The eligible CWRF design capacity is 4,480 acre-feet per year (AFY) or 4 MOD. The CWRF design capacity is based on peak summer recycled water demands and considerations for the recycled water storage requirement. The original water demand assessment included an estimated potable make up water requirement of 942 AFY during the peak summer months. However, because the Olivenhain Municipal Water District is no longer included as a potential recycled water user, potable make up water will be less than 200 AFY. The District has adopted a mandatory use ordinance requiring the use of recycled water where it is made available. The District, through a letter dated November 30, 2001, stated that the mandatory use ordinance will be fully enforced upon the completion of the EBWRP Phase n project. Because a substantial number of potential users are currently using the District's potable water supply, it is anticipated that the capacity of CWRF will be fully utilized within a year of facility start-up. Enclosure No. 2 is a listing of approved users and their corresponding water consumption based on averaged annual recycled water demand. INELIGIBLE PROJECT ITEMS • Any items that replace/repair facilities that were previously constructed under the Phase I project; • Facilities under construction prior to the issuance of Final Plans and Specifications (P&S) Approval by the Division; • Costs for project planning; • Costs for loan application; • Costs for land, easements, and rights of way; and • Costs for water recycling retrofits on new or existing facilities.

Project Funds shall be used exclusively for the following purposes: (i) architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, and similar costs paid with respect to the Project incurred prior to the commencement of construction and in an aggregate amount not exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the Project Funds, (ii) capital expenditures relating to the Project originally paid by the Agency on or after the date hereof, (iii) interest on the Obligation through the later of three (3) years after the Applicable Date or one (1) year after the Project is placed in service, and (iv) initial operating expenses directly associated with the Project in the aggregate amount not more than five percent (5%) of the Project Funds. Where other provisions of this Agreement are more limiting in scope, those provisions shall control. SECTION 5. PRIVATE USE AND PRIVATE PAYMENTS. None of the Project Funds or the Project are, have been or will be used in the aggregate for any activities that constitute a Private Use (as defined below). None of the principal of or interest with respect to the Installment Payments will be secured by any interest in property (whether or not the Project) used for a Private Use or in payments in respect of property used for a Private Use, or will be derived from payments in respect of property used for a Private Use. "Private Use" means any activity that constitutes a trade or business that is carried on by persons or entities, other than a Governmental Unit. The leasing of the Project or the access by or the use of a person or entity other than a Governmental Unit on a basis other than as a member of the general public shall constitute a Private Use. SECTION 6. NO DISPROPORTIONATE OR UNRELATED USE. None of the Project Funds or the Project are, have been or will be used for a Private Use that is unrelated or disproportionate to the governmental use of the Project Funds. SECTION 7. MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE CONTRACTS. Carlsbad Municipal Water District Agreement No.: 05-721-550-0 WRCP No.: 3903-120 Water Recycling 1996 and 2000 Bond Page 2 of 5 EXHIBIT I - TAX COVENANTS With respect to management and service contracts, the determination of whether a particular use constitutes Private Use shall be determined on the basis of applying Section 1.141-3(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and Revenue Procedure 97-13 and other applicable rules and regulations. As of the date hereof, none of the Project Funds or the Project are being used to provide property subject to contracts or other arrangements with persons or entities engaged in a trade or business (other than Governmental Units) that involve the management of property or the provision of services that do not comply with the standards of the Treasury Regulations and Revenue Procedure 97-13. Except to the extent the Agency has received an opinion of counsel expert in the issuance of state and local government bonds the interest on which is excluded from gross income under Section 103 of the Code ("Nationally-Recognized Bond Counsel") and satisfactory to the SWRCB and the State to the contrary, the Agency will not enter into any management or service contracts with any person or entity that is not a Governmental Unit for services to be provided with respect to the Project except with respect to contracts where the following requirements are complied with: (i) the compensation is reasonable for the services rendered; (ii) the compensation is not based, in whole or in part, on a share of net profits from the operation of the Project; (iii) not more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting power of the Agency in the aggregate may be vested in the service provider and its directors, officers, shareholders and employees and vice versa; (iv) any overlapping board members between the Agency and the service provider must not include the chief executive officer or executive director of either, or their respective governing bodies; and (v): (A) At least ninety-five percent (95%) of.the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee which is a stated dollar amount for services rendered for a specified period of time. The stated dollar amount may automatically increase according to a specified objective external standard that is not linked to the output or efficiency of a facility, e.g., the Consumer Price Index and similar external indices that track increases in prices in an area or increases in revenues or costs in an industry are objective external standards. A fee shall not fail to qualify as a periodic fixed fee as a result of a one-time incentive award during the term of the contract under which compensation automatically increases when a gross revenue or expense target (but not both) is reached if that award is a single stated dollar amount. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed the lesser of eighty percent (80%) of the reasonably expected useful life of the financed property and fifteen (15) years (twenty (20) years for "public utility property" within the meaning of Section 168(i)(10) of the Code); (B) At least eighty percent (80%) of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed the lesser of eighty percent (80%) of the reasonably expected useful life of the financed property and ten (10) years. A one-time incentive award during the term of the contract similar to the award described in subsection (A) above is permitted under this option as well; (C) At least fifty percent (50%) of the compensation for services for each annual period during the term of the contract is based on a periodic fixed fee or all of the compensation for services is based on a capitation fee or combination of a periodic fixed fee and a capitation fee. A capitation fee is a fixed periodic amount for each person for whom the service provider or the Agency assumes the responsibility to provide all needed services for a specified period so long as the quantity and type of services actually provided to covered persons vary substantially; e.g., a fixed dollar amount payable per month to a service provider for each member of a plan for whom the provider agrees to provide all Carlsbad Municipal Water District Agreement No.: 05-721-550-0 WRCP No.: 3903-120 Water Recycling 1996 and 2000 Bond Page 3 of 5 EXHIBIT I - TAX COVENANTS needed services for a specified period. A capitation fee may include a variable component of up to twenty percent (20%) of the total capitation fee designed to protect the service provider against risks such as catastrophic loss. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed five (5) years. The contract must be terminable by the Agency on reasonable notice without penalty or cause, at the end of the third year of the contract; (D) All of the compensation for services is based on a per-unit fee or a combination of a per- unit fee and a periodic fee. A per-unit fee is defined to mean a fee based on a unit of service provided as specified in the contract or otherwise specifically determined by an independent third party, such as the administrator of the program or the Agency; e.g., a stated dollar amount for each specified procedure performed, car parked or passenger mile is a per-unit fee. The term of the contract, including all renewal options, must not exceed three (3) years. The contract must be terminable by the Agency on reasonable notice, without penalty or cause, at the end of the second year of the contract term; or (E) All of the compensation for services is based on a percentage of fees charged or a combination of a per-unit fee and a percentage of revenue or expense fee. During the start up period, however, compensation may be based on a percentage of either gross revenues, adjusted gross revenues or expenses of a facility. The term of the contract, including renewal options, must not exceed two (2) years. The contract must be terminable by the Agency on reasonable notice without penalty or cause, at the end of the first year. This type of contract is permissible only with respect to contracts under which the service provider primarily provides services to third parties, and management contracts involving a facility during an initial start-up period for which there have been insufficient operations to establish a reasonable estimate of the amount of the annual gross revenues and expenses (e.g., a contract for general management services for the first year of the operations). If the compensation terms of a management or service contract are materially revised, the requirements for compensation terms must be retested as of the date of the material revision and the management or service contract is treated as one (1) that was newly entered into as of the date of the material revision. A renewal option, for purposes of the foregoing, is defined to mean a provision under which the service provider has a legally enforceable right to renew the contract. Thus, for example, a provision under which a contract is automatically renewed for one (1) year periods absent cancellation by either party is not a renewal option, even if it is expected to be renewed. A cancellation penalty is defined to include a limitation on the Agency's ability to compete with the service provider, a requirement that the Agency purchase equipment, goods or services from the service provider, and a requirement that the Agency pay liquidated damages for cancellation of the contract; in comparison, a requirement effective on cancellation that the Agency reimburse the service provider for ordinary and necessary expenses or a restriction against the Agency hiring key personnel of the service provider is generally not a contract termination penalty. Another contract between the service provider and the Agency, such as an Installment Sale Agreement or guarantee by the service provider, is treated as creating a contract termination penalty if that contract contains terms that are not customary or arm's length, that could operate to prevent the Agency from terminating the contract (e.g., provisions under which the contract Carlsbad Municipal Water District Agreement No.: 05-721-550-0 WRCP No.: 3903-120 Water Recycling 1996 and 2000 Bond Page 4 of 5 EXHIBIT I - TAX COVENANTS terminates if the management contract is terminated or that places substantial restrictions on the selection of a substitute service provider). The service provider must not have any role or relationship with the Agency, that, in effect, substantially limits the Agency's ability to exercise its rights, including cancellation rights, under the contract, based on all the facts and circumstances. SECTION 8. NO DISPOSITION OF FINANCED PROPERTY. The Agency does not expect to sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Project, in whole or in part, prior to the final maturity date of the Obligation. SECTION 9. USEFUL LIFE OF PROJECT. The economic useful life of the Project is at least twenty (20) years from the Project Completion, and is specified elsewhere in this Agreement. SECTION 10. INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS. Installment Payments generally are expected to be derived from current revenues of the Agency in each year, and current revenues are expected to equal or exceed debt service on the Obligation during each payment period. SECTION 11. NO OTHER REPLACEMENT PROCEEDS. The Agency will not use any of the Project Funds to replace funds of the Agency which are or will be used to acquire investment property reasonably expected to produce a yield that is materially higher than the yield on the Bonds. SECTION 12. REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION. Not applicable. SECTION 13. CHANGE IN USE. The Agency reasonably expects to use all Project Funds and the Project for the entire stated term to maturity of the Obligation. Absent an opinion of Nationally-Recognized Bond Counsel to the effect that such use of Project Funds will not adversely affect the exclusion from federal gross income of interest on the Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, the Agency will use the property financed or refinanced with Project Funds solely as set forth in the Agreement. SECTION 14. NO FEDERAL GUARANTEE. The Agency will not directly or indirectly use any of the Project Funds that would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code. SECTION 15. NO NOTICES OR INQUIRIES FROM IRS. The Agency has not received any notice or inquiry by the Internal Revenue Service within the last ten (10) years regarding any obligations issued by the Agency, the interest on which obligations is excludable from federal income taxation.

The provisions in this Exhibit I may be amended or supplemented at any time to reflect changes in the Code upon obtaining an opinion of Nationally-Recognized Bond Counsel that such amendment will not adversely affect the exclusion from federal gross income of interest on the Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code. SECTION 17. REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Agency's signatory, and based on the facts and estimates as set forth in the tax covenants in this Exhibit I, the expectations of the Agency as set forth in this Exhibit I are reasonable. The Agency is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause it to question the accuracy or reasonableness of any representation made in the provisions in this Exhibit I.
