The impacts of climate change, projected growth in the area, and limited available water for industrial, agricultural and commercial purposes highlights the need for water conservation. The recycled water plan addresses water quality by diverting effluent from surface water discharge to agricultural and industrial applications. The project will institute an outreach plan to support the development of a strategic water reuse plan for Amador County. The outreach efforts will provide a firm basis for the development of the Recycled Water Strategic Facility Model and Master Plan (Plan). The outreach activities associated with the project will also serve as a regional model which other agencies throughout the Sierra Nevada can apply toward more localized efforts to develop a recycled-water distribution system. Specifically, the Agency will: • Utilize and adhere to the previously developed Regional Wastewater Management Plan in formulating the deliverables for the project • Utilize and adhere to the previously developed Recycled Water Feasibility Studies in formulating the deliverables of the project • Execute the Strategic Outreach Plan throughout Amador County, including: o Identifying stakeholders and participants and identifying their needs o Identifying Values and Benefits associated with project o Research technologies related to operating a wastewater reuse project o Provide opportunities for public interaction and involvement o Formulate concepts based on stakeholder input and feedback o Formalize all necessary agreements, define roles, and delineate responsibilities • Develop the Recycled Water Strategic Facility Model and Master Plan, including: o Conduct a recycled water market assessment for Amador County to identify potential users and forecast demand o Identify, research and analyze project alternatives relative to placement of facilities and alignments of transmission infrastructure o Develop a Construction Financing Plan to support future investments in treatment and transmission o Develop a Facilities Planning Report for use in siting and designing treatment and transmission infrastructure. o Conduct follow-up public outreach and solicit feedback on the draft plan • Finalize and publish the Master Plan and make available to comparable entities throughout the SNC area of operation • Make staff available to potential users of the plan to provide insight relative to the plan serving as a model for other Sierra Nevada Communities.
