on a different front, the state water board has taken actions regarding curtailment notices for pre-1914 water right holders. those opposed 1903 rights. most noticed water right holders cluny hotel and south -- irrigation district it on june 18 this to the terry's authority of the written mandate and complaint with the oakville along with the hotel and south european irrigation district against the state water board. as we for anticipated, the state water board took some action of the staff level on 14 rights that litigation went to and that is the case beginning now. so, will continue to monitor that situation. in summary yes, even though it's a dry reach 95% of capacity in the water bank has worked well. and it will work next year, but will start to run into limitations. demand is extremely low. we will continue to monitor the

state water board front and take necessary actions to protect our water rights. but we have it answer your questions. >> either questions? thank you, mr. richie. any public comment on seven ce, on the doubt? good afternoon mr. brooks >> good afternoon commissioners are books san francisco green party sustainability chairman coordinator of our city san francisco. i just want to speak to the drought in relation to desalination as i've done before. also on the water committee, the sierra club bay chapter, and i was pleased to hear through the grapevine were at our last committee meeting a lot of the bay area cities are backing away from the bay area desalination project because of the high expense involved in it. i just want to reinforce i point out a key dynamic with a

desalination treatment plan is based on a pay for the purposes of using brackish, or low-salt water to filter because it's less intensive to filter it cost less. well, if you're building a desalination plant to deal with drought, the time when the salinity gets high, it is not economical to use the docile desalination plant that's plan to filter water to give water to drought parched district is during a job. the salinity goes out and makes it on economical. so, not only is desalination bad for the date environmentally, but you also have this total push me-hold me situation where if you build this thing the attention of solving the drought problem, when the drought hits, you actually can't use it because it cost too much. if you look at australia they built entire desalination plants that they never used when they had a bad

drought. so, it's good to see that there are agencies osha figures 1 agencies to really hot for good i think there's good agencies are backing away from this because of the cost. would also also because of the abundance of bombs caused by these things that we should take that kind of money that we put into a desalination plant and, instead, just do the sensible stuff of promoting more conservation, more rain barrels. recycling more water. it's the same basic process except that you don't have to filter salt out of it. it's more economical. that's where we should be directing such money, is towards taking municipal water is not usable right now for other researchers doing a good job of filtering in it instead of building a big plant will probably never use because during drought years the salinity makes it

impossible or not financially a good idea to do so. thanks >> thank you. other comments on this? our next update, please >> last item, barbara hale see cca update. >> good afternoon, commissioner. bob helped assistant general manager for power. i've adult update which i suppose is not a bad thing. where on time with all of the major milestones we communicated to you since our last update. i have a slide on the computer am a please. you will see that we have the one date that has passed successfully. we have not to exceed rates now established. the 30 day waiting period

before the board has passed. so as not to exceed rates that you adopted on a final. we also have before us this coming week are stakeholder meeting there will be talking with community members and interested stakeholders by the program marketing and communications around cca. we have some ideas. ravenna shadows will go to hear their ideas that'll help shape and mold will we present you as we prepare for launch. we remain on schedule. we are also expensive expecting this week to hear responses to our request for proposals on our meter data, billing and customer care rfp. those responses are due thursday, the 25th. we continue our work preparing a request for offer for the power supply. so, that is not issued yet we still expect will be able to stay on schedule with issuance. the other item i was going to

mention -- which i just based on will leave it at that middle come to me when you ask questions. any questions? >> congratulations on the rebates. >> thank you. likewise can glasgow congratulations to you. >> commissioner, common? >> only that all is good. >> thank you. >> any other comments, commissioner's? >> very good work. >> thank you. >> of the comments? >> good afternoon again outlooks green party and san francisco clean energy advocate. so, just want to reiterate what commissioners of said widgets great staff has got us to this point. god be

not to exceed a rates, and the upcoming stakeholder meeting is really important because as all of you know, although there may be some -- talking about it at the podium, pg&e's union ibew 1245 just before a ballot measure to basically pull some marketing tricks and make it harder for clean power sf to get off the ground. it would be doing this making the rules for reporting honorable energy credit use would be actually more stringent the community choice and less stringent the same as they are now for pg&e. literally, enabling pg call dirtier energy clean and borrowing us from calling renewable energy credits green. also, of course allowing pgn need to continue to claim nuclear is going where no intention of doing something like that. because it is in and we all know it. so, that stakeholder moving is going to be important and i would want to find out from staff, how

much we may be able to touch base on the ballot measure. i know that's tricky territory for public officials, but i don't know what it's like for staff. so, as you were all saying, the timeline looks really good. everything is falling into place. the rfp for getting our purchasing is happening. the one piece that advocates have kept asking for, and is not in place yet, and other we've got not to exceed rates established, and we know, revenue were going to get from our customer base, it's really time to get on the ball in this because we need a separate stakeholder process as we had over the past two years. for people that are really dedicated to getting the local distributed generation behind the meager resources, local buildout stuff to happen. we've been knocking on the door with staff about that and they said okay but we have not been getting any official responses. so, i would call on you, commissioners, to: staff to

stakeholder meetings to getting the buildout stuff figured out especially because this would keep rick keating we need to show labor how this is going to be real but we also need to show environmentalists were really going to build local clean energy not just by clean energy on my. please do push on that point neither would god not to exceed rates are: general manager kelly to help us establish some stakeholder meetings around the buildout so we can really get some, not only traditional governmental groups, but the worker groups and the social justice environmental justice groups that are to be impacted by local projects and need those for economic environmental justice. so, general manager could help us get the process going that would be awesome. thanks >> thank you. ashley mr.

brooks, is about buildout reminded me the thing i was forgetting. >> that is, one of the things were hoping to bring to you today was rpc implementation plan. we required, under state law, when revise the program that's been approved by the california public utility commission about when we revise the plan we need to bring it back to them for revisions. we were going to bring that to you and draft form to get your approval today, were doing a little extra work the city attorneys and with our bureau of environmental management to make sure we get the -- aspects of that right. the comments about local build remind me about the sql constraints and make sure we get that right. so, we are planning to bring that commission meeting on july 14 once we've had thoughtful input. >> also you can maybe talk about the buildout. i think our intention is to get stakeholders involved. we had to be careful of -- identifying projects maybe before we go through the process. so, we do plan to engage the community and

we just wanted to make sure that, i think was really critical is to get the offering out the power because that's the most important. if we get high prices, then you won't be able to buildout a lot. so i think that is really dependent on much revenue you actually can achieve in the program. so, i think one start engaging but until we get that information we really won't know what the margins are in our cash flow common to sport the local buildout. >> that's right. this meeting were having on june 30 is the second of our stakeholder meetings. will suddenly have more that are more focused in deeper dives that could be coupled to the stakeholders interested in having a deeper dive on certain topics. like local build. >> thank you. mr. free.

>> jason freed executive officer for alaska. thank you for asking item you think is important i do understand why. stakeholder but enforced because of ibew's letter threatening potential sql plus vga to take the time make a good imitation plan allows to launch. it's kind of a double-edged sword. we wanted this budget builds we can but at the same item you think is important i do understand why. stakeholder but enforced because of ibew's letter threatening potential sql plus vga to take the time make a good imitation plan allows to launch. it's kind of a double-edged sword. we wanted this budget builds we can but at the same time .1 get wants. he went away for two years ago through a process because you got all these great projects which you know you want to build. stop -- because you don't have the money to do the building and when the process is done. so, be very smart about the approach making sure we get the program launched subtly in the credit boom the finance behind the buildout is important so that we then went to go through the process on any individual project may be eventually attached to a cca program you have advice. that said the finance in place that i think the city approach is very smart. have important that ibew tries to throw these monkey wrenches in a positive slowing down or stopping

building. it about measure the circling percentage i believe right now where things that potential being very negative thing for august. it's very sad process when you see this type of work going forward but your staff is doing great work in trying to get everything done. the working extremely fast moving as quickly as they can develop various aspects. so, we continue to be happy with the process look forward to continuing bring much looking forward to next weeks meeting with the stakeholders to see where they have to say about the marketing. having given a couple quick high-level highlights what to look at that it's pretty good plan. i'm looking forward to see what the rest of it looks out as it flushes out. >> thank you. thank you for the continued work on this. helping clarify as we go. it's complex. anything else on cca? next item, please. thank you general manager i think that includes general managers report, right? >> i to make sewer system improvement program quarterly update.

>> good afternoon commissioners karen cubic director of the capital program. if i could get the slides up, please?. today i'm here for the quarterly report. just bring you up-to-date on all the progress we're making. will run through the program. some preconstruction updates. construction as well as focusing on some of the structure highlights in our measuring success as we build this project. this is our high-level program wide status. at this point but everything is still in planning and design of the were starting to get things in construction and you'll hear about that is begat into the report. looking at the big picture, we got 66 projects underway and predominately, as i said, they're in planning or

in design phase. at this point or 5.1% into the phase 1 project dollars and will see that pick up drastically as we begin to get more projects into construction. some program wide status updates that are kind of interesting that we develop design guidance for sea level rise and this is been supplied to our design team. in fact, this looks at what effect may see on the -- and the designers are able to look at the way for those assets and determine what adaptive strategies we want to employee. we have been very regular meetings with our management oversight committee in fact weekly to talk about policy, procedures, systemic issues to try to slog through all the challenges that we have trying to get this off the ground. we've also spent some time looking at competing programs because were surrounded by them. there's a large capital program for wastewater of in sacramento, san mateo has a los angeles. it would look at whatever resources you have available we

get to the point of doing construction. were in the process of doing that currently. additionally, we been working closely with jewish state will always loan fund that we give them recently and update presentation on that and we've got some word back from the state. they talk about everything, but based on our audited financial statements and projected cash flows, they have limitary said will be eligible for $2.5 billion that's with low interest loans, over five years. so we pace that projection based on our projects will be delivered why they say we maybe is because we have to put in applications. sica grant process. in fact with putting applications. project every cheer. surrounding with one right now that is the holloway structure project for about 2.6 million to work out any bugs in the process. next, preconstruction

update and these would be our three largest projects that we have underway. southeast plant headworks. this would although flows converge at the plant. it's one most orders areas of the plan and very concerned they can certainly take out all the sand and grit so we can reset the rest of the processes. we are moving along to get a conceptual engineering report by august. so that is very exciting. i think you made hard some discussion about the use of alternative contacting, alternate the of that we are looking at cmg c or conception management general contractor delivery. in this case though potentially give us more opportunity to get smaller local businesses involved in have more control over when and how this is built. also, be able to pull and contractors a little bit earlier. usually, we get iraq's don't have the advantage of a collaborative project.

>> just an update. we have a draft memo for explaining cmg c. this is a lot of information that we want to put it in a way that's understandable. so, wool probably do is knew a couple more folks the weekend make it understandable to most common folks. because it's a little technical. we have it. we've just been editing it. hopefully, we'll sit down and that it do a couple more people. hopefully have it out. >> slide up one more time. on the central bayside improvement project, we got to the point of aar and we spent a little time thinking about the project this summer and working with executive keying for the -- project. i know you got briefings from agm cruise how

the return of analysis and technology processes. the big excitement there is the environmental review has begun. while the scoping meeting on july 16, this summer. the cer will be completed in september. so, these are big this for really important project. moving on, to some preconstruction updates, we will have for the l fermentation projects, for green infrastructure projects going into construction this. three in the very near term holloway is bidding in july. mission and valencia will bid in july and sunset will start construction in july. sunset will be built by the department of public works. visitation value be in construction in december. so, a lot of action and activity on a green infrastructure. the rest of the green infrastructure projects will begin construction in early 2016. we have developed a contractor training program and

we've given three sessions to contractors because we've been challenged by the fact that some contractors, they know landscaping. they know plans. they mostly work at bringing green infrastructure together to make it performance-based isn't always logical were clear to them. so, we developed for modules and held three sessions and we will actually have a certification program ultimately. contractors are bidding on those jobs that are shown on the list, they will have to have the certification. a lot of gone to our training. it's unfortunate those techs are right in front of the slide but, we are also continuing the watershed assessment. we just finished up the west side of analysis. on construction site, as i mentioned, with several projects moving along. [inaudible] emergency baker will sell some work going on

beside on station work on a manifold to repair that. there's a list of upcoming projects that we will see going to bid. dr. green infrastructure just for mom. as you know, we have a projects. they were put in each of our eight urban watersheds so that we could test out different technologies in different soil areas in different neighborhoods with different conditions. it was really meant to be one that we work with other partners as well. if your project that is in an area where we need to place a water main, or there's an mta project they're part of our partnership. that part of that work that the current. which also makes it somewhat complex at times. the real purpose of doing green interceptor in the early implementation project is the condensate and evaluate these technologies and see how well they perform over time, as well as develop.design standards so we have standards

and plans that we can spy the rest of the city family that will also begin to be doing close construction modern. in addition to the primary objective of, there's a lot of other positives that happen on the secondary objective side. there's interagency synergy. we were together. there savings that can occur from that. there are things such as how that creation, traffic calming a lot of meetings that can come as part of these projects. so, we had talked before i think -- had been here and was discussing a little bit about the monarchy. we are doing a few levels of monitoring. versus acid named hobo, the level sensors. you can see a much water, how much funding and infiltration occurs within a green infrastructure installation. the second, our flowmeters. we could see a much source surface runoff there is. mature capture and moving through the system. as we look

at our different installations will be putting and we will be including monitoring in each of the locations except for the chinatown locations. because those are really flow-through planters. i think as you noted in previous presentations, is not a huge performance is because of the soil in the location. we'll be monitoring these over the long term to see how they perform based on how we anticipate they will based on her modeling and will be monitoring over the long term to see others technology hold up . if performance changes after they have been in overtime. i wanted to give you an idea, some of the other challenges we've had with green infrastructure. so, what we're building is really active performance-based. were trying to remove flow. try to capture the flow, infiltrated, hold it, reduce the peak our source system will see because that increases the potential for localized flooding and also overlies from the clintons and

in an active infrastructure versus passive green space that may be planted with trees or otherwise but does it really take advantage of moving rainfall into the space. this sometimes is a real challenge with her other city family members who will want to potentially put in curve and skipping or trees and collect green infrastructure. were really taking a leadership role in this establishing criteria and specs and spending a lot of time with her designers that are [inaudible] to train them what this means. are yet these have been predominately in the public right-of-way, which means you've got multiple departments jurisdictional challenges. we've got mta, dpw, city planning, the fire department, everybody. the whole family is at the table. various utilities, better -- in some cases we then had to code some water facilities as well. this coronation on -- water

lines, gas lines, so some of these can be challenging. additionally, we have to get a bit of a better handle on the long-term maintenance. for these facility. we know this quantity or cost to us to maintain vips. how do we want to handle that in the future? these are conversations already occurring at the executive team. one, the opportunity and thing this is open our eyes to is a wet weather fee, storm other

incentive type program will we could perhaps encourage others to embrace green infrastructure and take the leadership role, build it also take on a long-term maintenance. so, this is something we'll be exploring. as an incentive program because we tell this great groundwork to the urban watershed assessment, because we study no storm water rates, this is something with restarting on this summer to analyze how do the most effective incentive program. i want to show you one project, so we did minus but it's cesar chavez bit and a few given up cesar chavez. it's truly lovely. thrilling ice cream infrastructure installation. as you come up through the chavez, it's provided a neighborhood that traffic was very difficult, a lot of traffic calming there's bicycling, area, a bit of peace and calm. out there we'd built 18 different biomonitoring receptors and seven monitoring sites that were built as part of that so we could see a much serviceable, as well as being removed from the system. the some details how big the drainage management area was what we expected this insulation for move about half 1,000,000 gallons per year. the site was tested this past year with large firms, 25 year, 50 year based on the seven monitored areas, we removed

$580,000. we exceeded we thought the performance would be if you then extrapolate that to the entire installation was about 1.7 million gallons. so, were really pleased with that and we think that's partially because we had the great soil and we got into great infiltrated depending on the cases, your planter box will fill up that output will begin. here, we filled up that we start to get infiltration into the soil below. so, this report was just wrapped up on the 15th of this month we can strongly make that available to if you like to see the full detail done by the san francisco estuary association. there's a picture of the installation >> go ahead, commissioner >> i would like a copy of that. when you say that you're moved 580,000 you're moved $580,000 i guess it's the rate of that amount per year. it's not removal really?

>> removed in this case is in those are good actually, this is removed. >> so basically into the ground instead of the soil? >> correct >> we said the flow was reduced by that amount, rx >> if you look at arena comments basically starts out slow and then with each type of storm we actually have a peak sewer shaving a little bit off at peak. introduce was going into our system. reduced localized flooding. >> that's not 35-50% of the system flow? chef >> no. it's the 7 acres. localized management. >> so this is some particular manage rx >> putting? should do you mention certain sewer flows >> service specific

intersections and sewer low commute this is the cesar chavez about six bucks of cesar chavez. to give you a perspective, though, the same removed 1.7 million gallons rc of the volume in the central bayside is 1.7 billion gallons. it's a tough nut. it's a lot of flow that were ultimately talking about trying to reduce. >> thank you. would appreciate a copy that >> sure. can you bring the slides up, one more time? thank you. that is cesar chavez. we been spending a lot of time, as always working with the public and we did have one clean interceptor meeting in chinatown are new supervisor cushions and did attend. we do get a lot of traffic on our social media platforms. our sewer video is the most watched video that the puc has ever produced. just imagine. we have 18,000 303 views. 92% of those are from the us incident we had a few hits in australia and

spain were starting a blog. will begin the green infrastructure construction we will have a blog that's ongoing to be great because weber capture people's thoughts and were looking for to working with -- i didn't get along with some of our projects we have in some job training that is a good one of the root document that process that's occurring as well as the contractor's assistant center training that were doing. lastly, it's always fun when we know the summers because sometimes it's hard to talk about the weather here, but our 21 interns have started and certainly they're really impressive group and are here today. give it a wave, interns. >>[applause] >> i had a chance to tell them about myself and my career the other day there was a nice time to get to know them. there really a need group. their project
