Water Rights Optimization Strategy
Purpose
This Water Rights Optimization Study will assess the existing and pending source. water
rights and to develop and recommend potential new strategies for optimizing the use of and
obtaining new water rights.
There are several objectives of this project, including:
. Identify and calculate inchoate certificate water rights for the City.
. Identify legislative issues that may affect water rights.
. Recommend how the City should manage its water rights claims.
. Recommend how the City should address mitigation issues in pursuing new water right
applications.
. Identify issues related to the Union River certificated water rights use.
. Identify strategies to protect the rights associated with the City's de-facto aquifer storage
and recovery from Union River to Twin Lakes.
. Identify operational strategies that optimize the City's use of its resources.
. Identify an approach to address in-stream flows for Gorst Creek.
. Identify alternatives and give recommendations for the use of the DomSea certificated
water rights.
. Identify water rights needs for the City in 50 - 100 years, and recommend strategies for
obtaining the necessary supply.
Scope of Services
There are three tasks to be performed during the project including:
1. Preparing Water Resources and Water Rights Assessment Needed for Inclusion into the
Water System Plan.
PSA CH2 Water Rts 8-05 1
0
~
This task will include: ~
. Review the AGI, Inc. water rights documentation that identified and quantified all ('
claimed, permitted, certificated and applied-for rights for the City and DomSea, Inc. and
provide guidance as outlined below.
. Document the City's long-term water rights needs (using current demand projections),
and assess the ability of the existing rights and claims to meet the future growth.
. Review the water resources section of the water system plan prepared by the City and
make recommended changes.
2. Preparing a Strategy Document for Protection of Existing Rights and Claims and
Positioning for Future.
This task will include:
. A summary of operations related to beneficial-use of each right or claim and the de-facto
aquifer storage and recovery from Union River to Twin Lakes.
. An evaluation of water rights issues that may affect the City. (legislative, in-stream flows,
WRIA, mitigation).
. Identification of operational strategies that optimize the City's use of its resources.
. Development of strategies for acquiring, protecting and optimizing the use of the City's
rights and claims.
3. Managing the Project
This task will include:
. Overall project planning, management, and administrative tasks required for the project.
Task 1: Water Rights Analysis for Water System Plan
Objective:
The objective of this task is to assist in the development of the chapter for the City of
Bremerton's Water System Plan (WSP) that addresses water rights needs as outlined in the
DOH Planning Handbook.
Approach:
Existing permits, permit applications, certificated water rights, and claims will be reviewed
and documented for the WSP, based on the AGI research previously conducted for the City.
Two tables for the report, Table 1: Existing Water Rights Status and Table 2: Forecasted
Water Rights Status, as required by the DOH Planning Guidelines will be developed, using
current demand forecasts.
CH2M HILL will review the water use efficiency program prepared by the City. To meet the
DOH requirements, it is recommended that the City include documenting source water
metering, program elements, unaccounted for water status, and an evaluation of which
measures are cost-effective. The conservation program outline could include conservation
objectives, evaluation of conservation measures, identification of selected conservation
PSA CH2 Water Rts 8-05 2

~
activities, targeted water savings projections (coordinated with demand projections), and ~
regional conservation programs. (/
CH2M HILL will evaluate the sources of supply alternatives. Obtaining new water rights
from Ecology requires a careful consideration of all options. The source of supply analysis
includes a written analysis of the feasibility and the relative cost effectiveness of
implementing alternatives listed below:
. Enhanced Conservation Measures (a brief description of existing efforts and alternatives)
. Water Rights Changes
. Interties (a brief description of the opportunities, or lack thereof)
. Artificial Recharge
. Use of Reclaimed Water, Reuse and other Non-potable Sources (a summary of the 1998
feasibility study and current regional study)
In addition to the incorporation of the conservation plan and the description of existing and
forecasted water rights needs, CH2M HILL will compare existing water rights, current water
use (DOH Table 1) and projected 20-year water demand (DOH Table 2) to identify any water
right modifications needed. If new water rights are needed within the 20-year timeframe,
CH2M HILL will develop a timeline for applying for the rights and putting the new supplies
on-line.
CH2M HILL will also review system reliability for this chapter of the WSP, to review
whether an adequate supply of water can be provided at all times. The system reliability
review will discuss Source Reliability, Water Rights Adequacy, and Facility Reliability.
CH2M HILL will briefly review the City's water shortage response plan.
CH2M HILL will review the City's monitoring well level program, and provide information
on existing and proposed interties, and intertie agreements.
Deliverables
A written review of draft and final chapter for the Water System Plan that relates to Water
Rights, follows DOH requirements and incorporates:
. Water Use Efficiency Program Development and Implementation
. Source of Supply Analysis
. Water Right Evaluation
. System Reliability, and
. Descriptions of existing and proposed interties.
. Preparation of Tables 1 and 2 for Existing and Future Water Rights Needs.

Ta$k 2: Develop Water Rights Strategy ~
~~ ~
The objective of this task is to develop an overall strategy for the City to protect water rights ~if~
and claims, propose changes in its water rights and those ofDomSea, Inc and assist in
obtaining new water rights if necessary. Strategies will be developed both for short.term
(within the life of the WSP) and long.term (50 to 100 years).
Approach
CH2M HILL will assess the use and adequacy of the City's rights and supplies in a
somewhat different manner than required in the WSP. A Table similar to Table 3 will be
developed to help in the evaluation of resource management options.
Use of this resource evaluation table shows month-to-month demand and uses of each
supply, which is useful in evaluating the overall water rights adequacy, the impact of in-
stream flows and the possibility of operational changes.
CH2M HILL will develop the alternative resource management strategies listed below:
. Items needed for InchoC;\te CertificMion/HB1338 compliance
. Plan for appropriate use of surface water claims
. Operating Strategies
- Aquifer Storage and Recharge (ASR) at Twin lakes and Gorst Creek,
- Operating Union River with downstream flow considerations,
- Conjunctive use of ground and surface water supplies to minimize flow impacts
during low flow periods,
- Transferring water rights to optimize their use,
. Locating and developing new sources for 50 to 100 year demand projections
. Identifying strategies for best use ofDomSea rights.
CH2M HILL will summarjze legislative issues relating to the City, including the Inchoate
Certificate Program and recent legislative efforts.
CH2M HILL will discuss the implications ofHB 1338 - Additional Certainty for Municipal
Water Rights which was promulgated in 2003, artd HB 1317 - Water Trust Rights Program
which was deferred in 2003. The implications of these bills affect water rights strategies for
the City ofBremerton.
. HB 1338 has major water rights and planning requirements, conservation rule
development, and other provisions. The rule provides protection for municipal water
rights, aligns water rights with places served by utilities, and establishes an Inchoate
Certificate program. Municipal water rights are protected from relinquishment and can
be reserved for future use. The Inchoate Certificate program resolves questions related to

</
lIB 1317 would have modified thetrust water program to make it easier to temporarily - "
.
put water into trust and maintain full water rights.
CH2M HILL will discuss the impacts of recent legislativt;l issues, such as proposed HB 1 099.
In 2005, Columbia River Initiative HB 1099 is under consideration. This bill includes
provisions that include:
. A proposed mitigation standard for the Columbia River is a net gain system where by
water use would only be allowed if there is a net gain in water for the flows in Columbia.
. Annual payment for use of water from a bank that is created. The annual payment can be
different for different water right holders.
. The Department of Ecology is currently promulgating a rule to implement HB 1099.
CH2M HILL will review recent changes to Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR)
regulations. In the 2000 session, the Washington State Legislature passed Engrossed Second
Substitute House Bill 2867, which expanded the definition of "reservoir" in RCW 90.03.370
("Reservoir permits... ") to include, "any naturally occurring underground geological
formation where water is collected and stored for subsequent use as part of an underground
artificial storage and recovery project". In the 2002 legislative session, Engrossed House Bill
2993 simplified the application process for an ASR project by specifying that Ecology "may
accept for processing a single application form covering both a proposed reservoir and a
proposed secondary permit or permits for use of water from that reservoir.
CH2M HILL will identify issues that may arise with the City's use of their Union River
Certificate and will t;lvaluate and summarize downstream flow conditions. CH2M HILL will
review instream flows for Gorst Creek, and discuss options for mitigation approaohes
including ASR.
A half-day day workshop will be conducted at the City with Mr. Parkinson, Ms, Ervin and
Mr. Odell to review and vet the new potential resource operations and recommendations with
Btemerton staff
Deliverables
A separate draft report approximately 30 pages in length for Water Rights Strategy will be
prepared and sent electronically to the City for their review and comment. The comments
will be included in the final report. A final report will be prepared and 5 copies and a CD
with the document in MS Word will be provided to the City.
