The plan will includc a method, schcdule and communication measures that will ensure that the 2005 UWMP will be preparcd in accordance with thc Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983, as amended (Act). Psomas recently conducted an analysis of the Act for 2005, which identifies the specific changes from the 2000 requirements of the Act, and we are thoroughly familiar with the new requircmcnts. Psomas staff will utilize our knowledgc of the City and use the City's 2000 UWMP as a foundation to develop the 2005 UWMP Update. Essential data will be obtained, reviewed, and incorporated, whcre appropriate, that includes existing water planning documents, plans and studics on thc local, regional and state levcls. Additionally, we will utilize our knowledge of water issues, infonnation gained at the recent DWR workshops on 2005 UWMP development, requirements of the Act, and requirements for water supply assessments based on SB 610 and SB 221. To accomplish this, Psomas will utilize the January 18,2005, Guidebook to Assist Water Suppliers in the Preparation of a 2005 Urban Water Management Plan prepared by DWR; DWR's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan "Review for Completeness" Form and DWR's 2005 Urban Water Management Plan "Review of Demand Management Measurcs for Completeness" Form. This approach will facilitate the preparation of a "complete" 2005 UWMP as evaluatcd by DWR staff. Psomas will also utilize DWR's Guidebook for Implementation of Senate Bill 610 and Senate Bill 221 to incorporate and integrate, where appropriate for the City, land use and water supply planning. Additionally, Psomas recommends and will utilize demand and supply projections through the year 2030 providing for a 25-year planning period. The Act requires a 20-year planning period; however, since UWMPs are required every five years, 25-year projections will consistently provide a 20-year projection as required by SB 610 and SB 221. This will allow the City to use its 2005 UWMP as a foundational document for future water supply assessments and verifications.
