6. Any information, if necessary, to enable DWR to satisfy the requirements of a responsible agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act.

As documented in the Staff Report for the Corona City Council meeting on March 2, 2016 (Agenda Report Item 3.G.3, page 201), the City determined ?no environmental review is required because the proposed action is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA?. EVMWD agrees with this determination, as noted in the Staff Report for the EVMWD Board meeting on March 10, 2016 (Agenda Report item 1.G, page 43). Even if the action were considered a project under CEQA, the basin boundary modification would have no impact on the environment.

E. General Information

1. Describe the lateral boundaries of the alluvial aquifer or aquifers that form the groundwater basin and the definable bottom of the basin. The description must be in terms that are clear, definite, and sufficiently detailed to allow an authoritative map of the proposed basin boundaries to be plotted using the given description.

As described in the attached file, alluvial aquifer boundaries (including the basin bottom) of the affected groundwater basins incorporate local hydrogeologic analyses and recent geologic mapping of alluvial deposits by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). First, boundaries are described for the proposed new Bedford-Coldwater Basin, which consists of the northwestern portion of the current Elsinore Basin (8-4) and also slightly modified the southern boundary of the Temescal Subbasin (8-2.09). Second, the revised boundaries of the modified Elsinore Basin are described. Alluvial boundaries are illustrated by figures in the attachment that have been prepared for this request (Figures 2, 3, and 5), along with six additional key figures extracted from the Corona Groundwater Management Plan and an additional technical report.

F. Notice and Consultation

1. List all local agencies and public water systems affected by the basin(s) modification request.

The three agencies cooperating in this combined request ? Corona, EVMWD, and TVWD ? are the primary agencies affected by the proposed basin modifications. Other local agencies, public water systems, and interested parties in or adjacent to the affected groundwater basins are discussed and listed on Table 1 in the attached file.

Attachment(s):

• Elsinore Basin Boundary Modification Request - Section F-1.pdf (3.1MB) Uploaded on 03/28/2016 at 02:06PM

2. Explain the methods used to identify interested local agencies and public water systems in the affected basin(s):

Local agencies and public water systems within the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin, modified Elsinore Basin, and adjacent Temescal Subbasin are generally known by Corona, EVMWD, and TVWD in their respective service areas. Corona and EVMWD each generated a list of agencies to notify in their respective areas or in adjacent areas as relevant. In addition, publically-available lists and shapefiles of state, federal, and private water districts and public water systems were reviewed for completeness. In Riverside County, public water systems serving fewer than 200 service connections are regulated by the County?s Department of Environmental Health (as a state-designated local primacy agency, or LPA, under the provisions of Section 116330 of the California Health and Safety Code). Any public water system in the affected basins that uses groundwater would be required to report its groundwater production (>2AFY) to the Western-San Bernardino Watermaster (compiled by Western Municipal Water District). As a result, production records were reviewed to identify potential public water systems and other interested parties in the affected basins. No new public water systems were identified in this process, but other groundwater users in each of the affected basins were added to the list as interested parties. These parties are included in Table 1 above and were notified of the basin boundary modification request. The information provided to these parties is summarized in item F3 below.

3. Provide information regarding the nature of consultations with affected or interested agencies. Attach and cite any copies of correspondences with local agencies and public water systems and/or any other persons or entities consulted.

Consultations with affected or interested agencies were conducted via direct in-person meetings, public meetings, teleconference calls, U.S. mail, and/or email. The three agencies cooperating in this combined request consulted each other on all boundary modifications including a preliminary meeting on January 19, 2016 to discuss whether to pursue a boundary modification request. The attached file provides details on these consultations and provides sample notification letters and meeting minutes from the January meeting. Materials from two public meetings are provided as attachments to the following item, F-4.

Attachment(s):

4. Provide a summary of all public meetings at which the proposed boundary modification was discussed or considered by the requesting agency. Attach and cite any copies of agendas and notices published.

Both Corona and EVMWD have prepared, considered, and adopted resolutions to initiate the basin boundary modification process at public meetings. The Corona City Council adopted Resolution 2016-021 at the City Council meeting on March 2, 2016; EVMWD adopted Resolution 16-03-01at the Board of Directors meeting on March 10, 2016. Agenda and staff reports in the meeting packets provided the public with details of the basin boundary modification request; these agenda and board packets are attached for reference. For the Corona City Council Meeting, see packet item 3.G.3, page 201. For the EVMWD Board of Directors Meeting, see Board packet item 1.G, page 43. Final signed resolutions are also attached to Item D2 of this Modification Request. Temescal Valley Water District has filed a letter of support for the basin boundary modifications as provided in item H2 of this request.

5. Attach a copy of all comments regarding the proposed boundary modification received by the requesting agency and a summary of any responses made by the requesting agency.

To date, three letters supporting the modifications have been received. One letter was filed from the Temescal Valley Water District (TVWD) and letters of support were also filed by the Santa Margarita Watermaster and Western Municipal Water District. These letters of support for the basin boundary modifications as provided in Section H2 of this request.

G. General Existing Groundwater Management

1. Explain how sustainable groundwater management exists or could likely be achieved in the basin:

The requested boundary modifications will separate the existing Elsinore basin into two basins ? the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin and the modified Elsinore Basin ? that better match both the hydrogeologic conceptual model and historical and ongoing management practices of the local groundwater resources. A description of current and future groundwater management activities relevant to the basin boundary modifications is included in the attached file. The description is supported by a series of maps prepared for this request (Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6), which are also included in the attached file.

Attachment(s):

• Elsinore Basin Boundary Modification Request - Section G-1.pdf (8.7MB) Uploaded on 03/31/2016 at 04:34PM

2. Explain how the proposed boundary modification would affect the ability of adjacent groundwater basins to sustainably manage groundwater in those groundwater basins.

The new Bedford-Coldwater Basin creates or modifies the boundaries with adjoining basins - Temescal Subbasin to the north and the modified Elsinore Basin to the south. The southern boundary for the modified Elsinore Basin that adjoins the Temecula Valley Basin is unmodified. Lateral boundaries of the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin and the modified Elsinore Basin are aligned with the contact of surficial alluvial deposits and are not immediately adjacent to other basins or subbasins. The manner in which the basin boundary modification affects adjacent basins and the potential for sustainable management is described in more detail in the attached file, supported by Figure 4.

3. Provide a historical summary of the sustainable management of groundwater levels in the proposed basin(s) or subbasin(s).

In the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin, water levels are actively managed through a 2008 agreement that limits groundwater extraction in the area where most of the pumping occurs and encourages projects that enhance recharge. Further, the three agencies sponsoring this request represent more than 90 percent of the total recent groundwater pumping in the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin. In the modified Elsinore Basin, EVMWD has developed direct recharge projects to manage groundwater levels locally throughout the modified basin. The two Groundwater management plans that cover the affected basins were prepared by the three agencies sponsoring the request. This local control allows the agencies to coordinate management of groundwater levels while meeting beneficial use in each basin. Details of historical management of water levels in the affected basins are provided in the attached file, which also includes nine pertinent figures that illustrate and support the summary.

Attachment(s):

4. Discuss potential impacts to state programs resulting from the proposed boundary modification, including, but not limited to, the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM), Groundwater Management Plans developed pursuant to AB 3030, Groundwater Sustainability Plans developed pursuant to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, any applicable state or regional board plans, and other water management and land use programs.

The creation of the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin will not adversely impact state programs. The same standards of CASGEM compliance will be maintained in the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin and the modified Elsinore Basin. EVMWD is the current Monitoring Entity for the CASGEM program and will continue the on-going monitoring efforts after the new basin boundary modifications. In addition, the two Groundwater Management Plans covering the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin and the revised Elsinore Basin do not overlap and will not be affected by the boundary modifications. As previously described, Corona?s 2008 GWMP includes the proposed new Bedford-Coldwater Basin; EVMWD?s 2005 GWMP includes portions of the remaining Elsinore Basin but does not include the proposed new Bedford-Coldwater Basin. There are no conflicts between the two plans and the proposed boundary revisions. None of the groundwater management activities being developed from the plan are in the areas being modified. The legal agreement between EVMWD and Corona regarding managed extractions from the Coldwater area (see response to G3 above) will continue and is not affected by any of the boundary modifications. Current land use and future land use decisions will not be impacted by the basin boundary revisions. The City of Corona, a sponsor of these revisions, has local land use authority along with the County of Riverside. As mentioned in Section F, the County of Riverside Land Use Planning Department has been notified of these revisions ? none of which are expected to impact the County?s land use activities. As described in G1 above, the basin boundary modifications will facilitate local groundwater management including GWMPs, GSPs, and other requirements of SGMA. In addition, the revisions will represent more continuous and technically-justifiable groundwater basins than current boundaries allow.

H. Local Support

1. Provide any evidence that sufficient information was provided to affected agencies and systems regarding the proposed boundary modification.

Detailed information, including a map with all of the basin boundary revisions, has been published continuously on the Corona and EVMWD websites for more than a month. Notification letters have been provided to agencies with systems in the affected basins, even those located a considerable distance away from any boundary modifications. Sample notification letters are attached to item F. These letters were mailed or both mailed and emailed to all parties on the distribution list, reproduced as Table 1 in item F1; letters to all parties were identical to the sample letters. Two public meetings have been held, one by Corona and one by EVMWD, to provide detailed information to local agencies and the public. In addition, the three agencies cooperating on this request are also the agencies most affected by the proposed boundary modifications. The boundaries were specifically delineated by these agencies to facilitate their own upcoming sustainable management activities under SGMA. Therefore, the agencies most affected by this request have been involved in the process from the beginning.

2. Provide a list of all affected agencies and affected systems that submitted comments and/or documents in support or opposition to the proposed boundary. The agency submitting their support or opposition for a boundary modification must provide a copy of a resolution formally adopted by the decision-making body of the affected agency or system or a letter signed by an executive officer or other official with appropriate delegated authority who represents the agency or system. Attach copies of the resolution and/or signed letter detailing the support or opposition submitted.

Two comment letters have been received to date. One is from the Santa Margarita River Watermaster (letter attached). In that letter, the Watermaster supports the proposed basin boundary modifications. The letter also correctly notes that no boundaries of the Temecula Valley Groundwater Basin are being modified. Further, the letter states that the basin boundary modification request does not alter the findings by the Watermaster related to watershed boundaries for the purposes of reporting by EVMWD. The second comment letter is from Western Municipal Water District, expressing support and recognizing the benefits to sustainable groundwater management from the modifications. Both Corona and EVMWD submitted Initial Notifications and represent the requesting agencies. TVWD has also been involved throughout the process, attended meetings and conference calls on the basin boundary modifications (see item G), and also published the information on its website. To confirm its support for this boundary modification request, TVWD has submitted a letter of support, attached to this item.

3. Provide any evidence that rebuts any opposition to the proposed boundary modification.

No opposition to the proposed boundary modifications has been received to date.

I. Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model

1. Principal aquifer units within requested basin.
2. Lateral boundaries of the proposed basin, including:
   1. Geologic features that significantly impede or impact groundwater flow.
   2. Aquifer characteristics that significantly impede or impact groundwater flow.
   3. Significant geologic and hydrologic features and conditions of the principle aquifer units, as appropriate, including information regarding the confined or unconfined nature of the aquifer, facies changes, truncation of units, the presence of faults or folds that impede groundwater flow, or other groundwater flow restricting features.
   4. Key surface water bodies, groundwater divides and significant recharge sources.
3. Recharge and discharge areas within the basin.
4. Definable bottom of the basin or subbasin.

The department may waive this requirement for an internal boundary modification if the requesting agency is able to demonstrate that the proposed boundary modification is unlikely to affect sustainable groundwater management.

Descriptions of the hydrogeologic conceptual models for the affected basins are provided in the attached file. Separate files have been provided presenting the conceptual models for the proposed new Bedford-Coldwater Basin and .the modified Elsinore Basin. The conceptual model descriptions in the attached files are supported by a series of maps and figures, which follow the text in each of the files. Relevant studies relied upon to support these descriptions are attached to this request in Sections J and L. Because the new Bedford-Coldwater Basin also modifies slightly the southern adjoining boundary with the Temescal Subbasin, relevant information on the conceptual model for the Temescal Subbasin is also included in the new Bedford-Coldwater conceptual model for completeness. However, the description of the Temescal Subbasin contains less detail because the modifications are minor and do not affect primary areas of recharge or discharge. A full conceptual model of the Temescal Subbasin is provided in the Corona GWMP, attached in Section J.

2. Geologic and hydrologic evidence of groundwater conditions by attaching or providing a URL to any of the following:
   1. Historical and current potentiometric surface maps, groundwater levels, groundwater recharge and discharge areas of the aquifer system within the vicinity of the proposed boundary modification.
   2. Aquifer performance testing results demonstrating basin boundary condition response.
   3. Water quality information of the aquifer system including but not limited to general water quality parameters and isotopic analysis.
