3.09 Letter in Support of Assembly Bill (AB) 2878 - Forest Biomass Waste Utilization Program (Aguiar-
Curr - On April 18, 2022 the Assembly Natural Resources Committee passed AB 2878, which
helps achieve the State's forest health and wildfire risk reduction goals by increasing the
productive use of forest waste through energy generation and wood products manufacturing.
Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) is co -sponsoring the measure with the Placer
County Air Pollution Control District (APCD). AB 2878 was substantially amended in Assembly
Appropriations Committee on May 19, 2022 and some provisions were removed from the bill that
RCRC and Placer County APCD are trying to get put back in the bill with the assistance of the
League of California Cities. These include a BioMAT provision as well as provisions to facilitate
better data and reporting on utility -caused wildfire emissions. As it is written now, AB 2878 helps
achieve the State's forest health and wildfire risk reduction goals by increasing the productive use
of forest waste through energy generation and wood products manufacturing. The Forest
Biomass Waste Utilization Program will help drive increased utilization of forest biomass waste
for both energy production and wood products manufacturing. It will also help develop a
workforce training program to create local jobs and meet labor demands. By coordinating and
weaving the State's various carbon/forest health/greenhouse gas scoping plans together, AB 2878
will help create more consistency across various State agencies and hopefully bring more
resources to bear on the biomass front. The bill also requires more reports and assessments on
the role that forest biomass can play in creating firm baseload renewable power and what existing
programs can be changed to drive utilization of forest biomass waste, including to support rural
microgrids and the grid at large — action requested — APPROVE LETTER IN SUPPORT OF AB 2878

4.04 Cooperative Agreement (Agreement) with the City of Chico (City) for a Stormwater Master Plan
(Master Plan) The City solicited competitive bids for the creation of a Master Plan to address all
areas within the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI) and entered into a contract with Wood Rogers
for a maximum not -to -exceed amount of $1,032,237. The Master Plan encompasses a shared
jurisdiction between the City and the County, of which the County maintains jurisdiction over
12.96% of the City's SOI. To memorialize the County's pro -rata share of expenses to prepare the
Master Plan, an Agreement is required. The terms of the Agreement require the County to
reimburse the City 12.96% of the total project costs for a total of $133,778. Under Butte County
Code sections 3-102 and 3-103(b), the Master Plan is the nexus to collect drainage impact fees for
property owners within the Mud -Sycamore Creek Drainage Basin. Through the agreement, the
City shall be responsible for all efforts to fund and create a Master Plan that evaluates drainage
within the SOI and provides an update on impact fee assessments. The County shall be
responsible for reimbursement of 12.96% of the total cost of the contract upon invoice from the
City and will attend strategic planning meetings throughout the process. Planning and analysis of
stormwater infrastructure is a vital component in evaluating the effectiveness of existing
stormwater facilities and identifying the need for future improvements to support new
developments. Well-planned stormwater infrastructure helps ensure the preservation of
property and the safety of residents during storm events, while also ensuring that stormwater
infrastructure investments are cost-effective over their life cycle, resource -efficient, and support
relevant community goals across jurisdictions. The Department of Public Works recommends the
Board of Supervisors approve an agreement with the City to develop a Master Plan, not -to -exceed
$133,778 — action requested — APPROVE THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE

4.05 Contract with Knife River Construction of Chico for the Pentz Road Rehabilitation Project - On
January 25, 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of Public Works to
advertise for bids for the Pentz Road Rehabilitation Project. The project will consist of replacing
existing asphalt concrete with new asphalt concrete on Pentz Road from Highway 70 to Paradise
Town limits, approximately 200 feet south of Malibu Drive. The total length of the project is
approximately six miles. The revised engineer's estimate for construction is $3,563,177, which is
a decrease of approximately $600,000. The reduction in the engineer's estimate is due to culvert
repair work being removed from the scope of work for the project. The Department advertised
the project on April 7, 2022, and a total of two bids were received on April 28, 2022, ranging from
a low of $4,559,177 to a high of $4,916,805. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was
Knife River Construction of Chico with a bid amount of $4,559,177. Recent impacts to the global
supply chain and escalating oil and materials pricing appear to be a contributing factor to bid
prices exceeding the engineer's estimate. The Department recommends the Board award the
contract to Knife River Construction and authorize the Director of Public Works to sign the
contract — action requested — 1) AWARD THE CONTRACT TO KNIFE RIVER CONSTRUCTION; AND
2) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO SIGN THE CONTRACT. (Public Works)

Administrative Support for Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) - On May 24, 2022, the
Board of Supervisors considered the Department of Water and Resource Conservation's Strategic
Plan for 2022-2027, which establishes the mission, vision, values, and priorities for the
Department and determines the Department's role and level of involvement in various activities.
The Board provided general comments and directed staff to update the Strategic Plan. As part of
the Strategic Plan discussion, the Department posed six questions regarding its level of
involvement in various activities for the Board's consideration and direction. A summary of the
changes is included in the memorandum with this agenda item along with strikeout and clean
version of the Strategic Plan. During the discussion of the level of involvement in various
Department Activities, the Board provided direction regarding administration of the Vina and
Wyandotte Creek GSAs and, to a lesser degree, the Butte GSA. The Board discussion included the
Department's role in each GSA as well as each GSA's need for continued administration by
member agency staff and their need for long-term financing. The Board expressed its desire that
the Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs become self-sustaining and financially viable entities with
minimal County support in the long-term. However, given the timeline of when funds would likely
be available to the GSAs, the Board directed staff to draft a work plan and request for additional
resources for the next one to two years to assist the GSAs. The Department prepared a work plan
and associated budget estimate for each GSA that would allow the Department to continue to
provide administrative support services to the GSAs for fiscal year 2022-23. Additional resources
would allow the GSAs to: 1) apply for grant funding for data gaps projects and projects and
management actions as identified in the Groundwater Sustainability Plans; 2) prepare the
required Annual Reports due April 1, 2023; and 3) identify and implement long-term funding
options that would allow the Vina and Wyandotte Creeks GSAs to fund themselves and ensure
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act compliance. The Department recommends the Board
approve the Strategic Plan and direct staff to add $464,465 in Schedule A adjustments to the fiscal
year 2022-23 Recommended Budget consistent with the proposed work plan and budget— action
requested —1) APPROVE STRATEGIC PLAN; AND 2) PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF FOR SCHEDULE
A ADJUSTMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 RECOMMENDED BUDGET. (Water and Resource
