1 Oklahoma s Comprehensive Water Plan Implementation of the Plan October 27, 2016 Kent Wilkins Assistant Division Chief

2 Challenging Years Ahead More climate extremes Increasing demands for water Aging/failing infrastructure Shrinking budgets (at least near term)

3 A Tale of 5 Junes

4 History of Extremes Experts predict that extreme events will only become more frequent.

5 2012 Update of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan Submitted to Governor and Legislature in 2012 Most technically sound, extensively vetted Plan Executive Report & 13 Watershed Planning Region Reports Overriding goal to provide safe, reliable water supplies to meet needs of all Oklahomans

6 2012 OCWP Studies Needed to Tackle the Future STUDIES Supply and Demand projections Survey of Provider needs Conservation scenarios on water demand Additional reservoir viability Aquifer Storage & Recovery viability Conjunctive management considerations Marginal Quality Water use Conveyance study

7 Total Water Demands ( )

8 Total Water Demands (2060) Other Demands: Thermoelectric Power - 450,227 AF (18%) Oil & Gas - 115,570 AF (5%) Livestock - 101,040 AF (4%) Self-Supplied Industrial - 54,334 AF (2%) Self-Supplied Residential - 41,155 AF (2%)

9 Largest Water Demand Sector Growth ( )

10 2012 OCWP A Plan for Tackling the Future WORKGROUP ISSUES Agriculture efficiency issues Financial assessment of infrastructure State Water policy Tribal issues Water quality issues and trends In-stream Flow issues Supply Reliability issues

11 Infrastructure Financing Conservation, Reuse, Recycling Monitoring Supply Reliability Fish & Recreation Flows Excess/Surplus State/Tribal Resolution Regional Planning

13 Water Infrastructure Financing SQ 764 $300M State Issued Bonds Returned our AAA Status and saved communities $$

14 Infrastructure Financing Conservation, Reuse, Recycling Monitoring Supply Reliability Fish & Recreation Flows Excess/Surplus State/Tribal Resolution Regional Planning

15 Monitoring & Measuring Increased funding of existing surface water monitoring programs Funding of new Groundwater Monitoring & Assessment Program (GMAP) -750 sites statewide phased in over 5 years

16 Infrastructure Financing Conservation, Reuse, Recycling Monitoring Supply Reliability Fish & Recreation Flows Excess/Surplus State/Tribal Resolution Regional Planning

17 Supply Reliability Groundwater Basin Studies Funding (GPT) for studies of 21 major basins Develop the Maximum Annual Yield Complete 20 Yr updates and new studies by 2022

22 Excess & Surplus Water Surface water only Protect local water needs while addressing statewide demands Ensure that the area of origin will never be made water deficient

23 Excess & Surplus Water Difference in a Basin s 2010 permit availability and its 50-yr projected availability and a 10% reserve

24 Infrastructure Financing Conservation, Reuse, Recycling Monitoring Supply Reliability Fish & Recreation Flows Excess/Surplus State/Tribal Resolution Regional Planning

25 Tribal Water Settlement Protects existing water rights Nations are guaranteed input OWRB administers water rights OKC get water needed for future growth Local long-term water needs protected, including lake levels and stream flows State s debt and other obligations to the Federal government will be resolved

26 Infrastructure Financing Conservation, Reuse, Recycling Monitoring Supply Reliability Fish & Recreation Flows Excess/Surplus State/Tribal Resolution Regional Planning

27 Regional Planning Sharing resources and ideas between communities Legislature couldn t agree on process and did not fund Developed their own plan driven by the need (drought)

31 STATE REGULATORY ACTIVITY WATER FOR 2060 Water for 2060 Act (codified in 82 O.S (2012)): o o Goal - Consuming no more fresh water in year 2060 than was consumed statewide in 2012, while continuing to grow the population and economy of the State Achieved by - Utilizing existing water supplies more efficiently; and expanding use of alternatives such as wastewater, brackish water, and other non-potable supplies. OWRB Update Federal Regulatory Activity WOTUS State Regulatory Activity Water for 2060 Aquifer Storage and Recovery Water Reuse 2016 Legislative Update State Judicial Activity OFBLF, et al. v. OWRB Tribal Water Settlement

32 Final Report Submitted!

33 2060 Recommendations Education and outreach campaigns Recognition and incentive programs Crop insurance reform Potable and non-potable reuse Infrastructure funding Marginal Quality Water incentive with O&G

34 Water Reuse Initiatives Potable Reuse Working Groups on Regulatory Framework Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) Lakes (WQS Rules >> SWS-R) Aquifers (ASR) Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) Rules development

35 Water Reuse Initiatives Non-Potable Reuse Land Application to golf courses and crop irrigation Grey-water capture from homes (approved up to 250 gal. per day) Industrial /Commercial uses

36 Produced Water Working Group Governor Fallin created a non-regulatory, fact-finding work group focused on identifying regulatory, technical and economic barriers to produced water reuse.

37 Produced Water Working Group Subcommittees Regulatory and Legal Barriers Oil & Gas Agriculture Water Users, ASR, Discharge

38 Produced Water Working Group Members from energy and industry sectors, municipalities, regulatory agencies Pilot study relating water volumes to large water users, technologies and economic viability, Transport challenges/network

39 Other Regulatory Developments Reuse collaboration (OWRB/DEQ/OCC/ODAFF/others) Reuse legal framework Aquifer Storage Recovery permitting and technical framework New SWS-r (Sensitive Water Supply- Reuse) standards in WQS
