<br />To address these shortages with respect to energy sustainability; the Project is expected
<br />to generate 1,316,942 kWh on an annual basis. With respect to water shortages and
<br />sustainability, the proposed Project is expected to strengthen supply reliability by saving
<br />over 101.4 AFY on an annual basis.

<br />The City relies on approximately 70-75 percent local groundwater from the Orange
<br />County Groundwater Basin (OC Basin). The Orange County Water District (OCWD) is
<br />responsible for managing the OC Basin, including water quality and groundwater
<br />replenishment. The OC Basin is not adjudicated and as such, pumping from the OC Basin
<br />is managed through a process that uses financial incentives to encourage groundwater
<br />producers to pump a sustainable amount of water. No additional mechanisms will be
<br />necessary to allocate the conserved water for its intended use. The conserved water will
<br />be used to supplement the groundwater supply.

<br />The proposed Project is expected to generate 1,316,942 kWh on an annual basis,
<br />resulting in an expected water supply savings of over 101.4 AFY annually. The project
<br />will benefit the overall environment by enhancing water reliability, conserving valuable
<br />water, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving water conservation
<br />management.
