Explanation of work remaining to be done	San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (Valley District) and Western Municipal Water District (Western) are pursuing an agressive program to construct the facilities needed to put the water permitted under Permit Numbers 21264 and 21265 to beneficial use. Valley District/Western anticipate that they will complete the construction of these facilities by October 1, 2020. The initial phase of work was commenced prior to June 30, 2010 and involved modifications of the intake structure at the Cuttle Weir to increase the diversion rate from approximately 195 cfs to approximately 300 cfs. Presently, Valley District/Western are designing the first phase of the Plunge Pool Pipeline, sedimentation basins, canal and additional recharge basins that will increase the transmission and recharge capacity to 500 cfs. The first phase of the Plunge Pool Pipeline will be constructed to deliver water to the recharge basins and to Valley District's Foothill Pipeline. A future phase of the Plunge Pool Pipeline will provide added flexibility by connecting to Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's Inland Feeder. With the completion of these facilities, Valley District/Western would be able to divert up to 500 cfs from the Santa Ana River and deliver that water: (i) for groundwater recharge and subsequent use by the retail water agencies in the San Bernardino Valley, (ii) for direct deliveries to retail water agencies through the Foothill Pipeline and/or the Inland Feeder, or (iii) some combination of (i) and (ii).

Conservation of Water
Are you now employing water conservation efforts?	Yes
Description of water conservation efforts	San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District participated in purchasing and installing Weather Based Irrigation Control Equipment for large irrigated areas including City Parks, school grounds and other large irrigated areas within the District. This equipment limits the amount of water applied for irrigation of grass areas based on the precipitation, evaporation, wind and temperature conditions in the area. San Bernardino Valley Muniicpal Water District participated in the development of a water conservation demonstration garden at California State University San Bernardino. The demonstration garden showcases southern California native plant species that use minimal amounts of water to thrive in the arid local area environment. The purpose of this garden is to show members of the public that they can use "California-friendly" plants in lnadscaping their homes and businesses rather than turf or other water-intensive landscaping. San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County have developed a program with the local nurseries and garden departments of large retail building supplies to develop an Inland Empire Garden Friendly (see: www.iegardenfriendly.com ) plants program which showcases the southern California native plant species that use minimal amounts of water to thrive in the arid local area environment. Like the demonstration garden, the purpose of this program is to demonstrate to residents of the Inland Empire that they can shift to more water-efficient landscaping without sacrifice. Permittees and local retail agencies and others have participated in the development of a Western Water Wise Landscape Contest where homeowners are able to win cash and prizes for developing a water wise landscape at their home. (see: www.westernlandscapecontest.com ) The amount of water conserved as a result of these programs is difficult to determine at the present time. Each of these programs was either begun in 2010 or shortly before 2010 and are intended to convince residents within the place of use to voluntarily change landscaping. The best way to measure improved water conservation from these programs will be to track outdoor residential water use (in gallons per capita/day) and commercial/industrial/institutional water use (in acre feet/year) in the 2015 and 2020 urban water management plans. Those water use data will account for differences in precipitation and temperature, as well as population growth and economic activity, thereby allowing the Permittees to isolate the quantities of water used for outdoor landscaping. Consequently, it is premature to evaluate the quantity of water conserved through these programs. The Permittees anticipate that they will include estimates of water conserved as a result of these programs beginning with the calendar year 2016 report (which can use data included in the 2015 urban water management plan.) Note: Question 12. requires an amount in order to continue. The amount shown is a placeholder only.
Amount of water conserved	1 Acre-Feet

Amount of reclaimed, desalinated, or polluted water used

Conjuctive Use of Groundwater and Surface Water
During the period covered by this Report, were you using groundwater in lieu of available surface water authorized under your permit?	No
Amounts of groundwater used

Additional Remarks

1. Reporting of Diversions under Permit 21264 (Application 31165) and Permit 21265 (Application 31370) On June 29, 2010, the State Water Resources Control Board issued Permits 21264 and 21265 to San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (Valley District) and Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County (Western). Permit 21264 is the senior permit and so, pursuant to instructions from the Division of Water Rights, Permittees are reporting water diverted first under Permit 21264. Valley District and Western sought to complete progress reports for both permits, even though water was only diverted under Permit 21264. However, the Division of Water Rights web portal did not allow the Permittees to submit a progress report for diversions under Permit 21265. We have not been able to make that report in the standard way, so we are using this portion of the progress report for Permit 21264 to report on Permit 21265. Permittees, as noted above, did not divert water under Permit 21265 because it is junior to Permit 21264 and Permittees did not divert the full quantity of water that could be diverted under Permit 21264. During 2010, Permittees fully complied with all other terms and conditions associated with Permit 21265. 2. Diversion of Water at the Cuttle Weir During 2010, the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District (SBVWCD) and Valley District/Western diverted water at the Cuttle Weir to replenish the groundwater basin for subsequent use. Each agency's season of diversion, total quantity of diversion and water rights are listed in the following table. Agency Season of Diversion Total Quantity Water Right SBVWCD 1/1/2010 to 5/31/2010 5,738.2 Acre Feet License No. 2831 Valley/Western 6/29/2010 to 12/31/2010 14,639.0 Acre Feet Permit No. 21264* SBVWCD 10/1/2010 to 12/31/2010 340.4 Acre Feet License No. 3832 * The State Water Resources Control Board issued Permit No. 21264 on June 29, 2010 Diversion of approximately 938 acre feet of water to replenish the groundwater basin were shifted outside the season of diversion due to operations of the Seven Oaks Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and are not being accounted for in this table. Such diversions occurred under water rights jointly utilized under the Santa Ana River - Mill Creek Cooperative Water Project. Additionally, Valley District/Western and SBVWCD are finalizing negotiations to expand our contractual relationships to cooperatively utilize and expand District facilities to maximize the quantity of water diverted for recharge jointly under these permits and licenses. Notwithstanding our intentions, should these negotiations for cooperative agreement not be fruitful, both districts may need to reviese their filings. 3. Improvements at the Cuttle Weir Permits 21264 and 21265 required Valley District/Western to commence construction of the facilities needed fot the diversion of water under these permits by June 30, 2010. As noted in the response to question 6(e), the first step in that construction progtram was to make improvements at the Cuttle Weir to ensure the effective rate diversion of up to 300, cfs of water. Because the Cuttle Weir was constructed in 1930, Valley District/Western were required to survey the Cuttle Weir for its value as a historical resource and develop a plan to mitigate for any impacts of the improvements at the Cuttle Weir on the historical value of the Cuttle Weir. A copy of the report prepared by Valley District/Western to document the historical resource value of the Cuttle Weir and the measures taken by Valley District/Western to preserve those values to the extent feasible. Work to modify Cuttle Weir Dam commenced on October 29, 2009 and was completed on December 18, 2009.
