AFY. Any permit to increase water rights shall not authorize the Impairment of existing surface or groundwater rights. EPWSD shall limit its diversions and consumption from the Las Colonias Well to no more than seventy-five (75) AFY when the Midway Well has been drilled and completed, the necessary infrastructure has been constructed to connect that well to EPWSD’s existing system, and the State Engineer has issued all permits necessary for EPWSD to: (a) divert and consume one hundred-fifty (150) AFY from the Midway Well; (b) divert and consume seventy-five (75) AFY from the Las Colonias Well; and (c) offset all surface water depletion effects resulting from groundwater diversions set forth in the foregoing Subparts (a) and (b) of this Article 6.3.1.3 and to mitigate any groundwater Impairment.
AFY. Upon agreement with the Pueblo, the Town may offset those depletions by one or more methods as follows: (a) reconfiguring diversions within the In-Town Well Field to reduce surface water depletion effects on the Buffalo Pasture; (b) transferring water rights from the In-Town Well Field to the Town’s Future Water Supply Well Field in order to reduce surface water depletion effects on the Buffalo Pasture and reducing the diversion ceiling specified at Article 6.2.2.1 by an amount equal to the transferred amount; (c) providing a quantity of water to the Pueblo equal to such surface water depletion effects on the Buffalo Pasture; or (d) any other mutually acceptable means for reducing the Town’s hydrologic effects on the Buffalo Pasture.

AFY. The City has separately evaluated the anticipated water demand for B3/OP2 at a more detailed level. Anticipated water demands considered that the unit water demand factor applied by the District of 0.00012 AFY/Ft2 accounted for both interior and exterior demands with total demand of 30.4 AFY. The City has considered that the interior water demands would be 22.45 AFY and exterior demands would be 7.9 AFY. WATER DEMAND The proposed project was analyzed for interior and exterior water demands considering a new land use classification and a new unit water demand factor for interior uses. The MCWD provides a unit water demand of 0.00018 AFY/ft2 for medical offices. Based on this value, the proposed project would have a water demand of between 10.3 to 13.0 AFY, depending on the finished square footage of the project. Exterior water demands would add an additional 7.7 AFY. Therefore the total project water demand would be between 18.0 and 20.7 AFY. City of Marina - Water Supply & Demand Consistency Analysis VA Monterey Health Care Center September 18, 2012 CONSLUSIONS The proposed Project has a lower water demand that was previously proposed and analyzed for the B3/OP2 site. The anticipated water demand of 18.0 to 20.7 AFY is 12.4 to 9.7 AFY less than included in the Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the Specific Plan and its EIR from a water demand perspective. RECOMMENDATIONS The following are recommended actions for the City to ensure ongoing parity of the water demands for the proposed Project: Coordinate with MCWD to confirm their water demand analysis of B3/OP2 and ensure that the analysis in the Water Supply Assessment/Written Verification is consistent with the 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Update. This should be completed as soon as the interior end uses of water are established. Ongoing coordination with the proposed Project Applicant to confirm the proposed irrigable areas for the project landscaping and the Maximum Allowable Water Allowance. The City should maintain coordination with the Applicant of the proposed Project to refine the interior water demand estimates based on the final net square-footage of the project and a more detailed analysis of the interior end uses of water.
