1 Regional Water Recycling Plant. 1 (RP-1) Lead Agency: Agency: Project Director: Address: Inland Empire Utilities Agency Jason Gu 6075 Kimball Avenue Chino jgu@ieua.org Phone: Cell Phone: General Project Information: Name: Description: Goals/Objectives: Need: Regional Water Recycling Plant. 1 (RP-1) The RP-1 project will increase the treatment capacity due to the projected influent flows and loads. The liquid treatment capacity will increase from 32 million gallons per day to 40 million gallons per day utilizing membrane bioreactor technology. The project will also include an expansion of the solids handling facility to treat the solids from RP-1 and RP-4 and produce biosolids for reuse through composting. The goal of the project is to provide an operational facility that will meet the needs of projected development in the IEUA northern service area. Based on the projected influent flows and loads, the RP-1 project will be able to treat sewer flows according to the regulatory requirements, produce recycled water according to Title 22 standards, and create biosolids for composting. The use of recycled water will decrease the demand for imported water and provide a sustainable local water resource for IEUA s service area. The purpose of the project is to increase the liquid treatment capacity from 32 million gallons per day to 40 million gallons per day due to the projected increase in population in the RP-1 northern service area and produce recycled water per Title 22 standards. The purpose of the solids handling facility is to treat the solid waste and produce biosolids for reuse through composting. The recycled water will be used for groundwater recharge and irrigation. Meets statutory eligibility gates of 2015 IRWM Grant Funding: IRWM Goals: 1 of 5

2 Regional Water Recycling Plant. 1 (RP-1) The RP-1 project meets the IRWM Goals and Objectives by reducing dependency on imported water through the production of recycled water during the treatment process. The recycled water would be distributed to the IEUA service area for use in groundwater recharge and irrigation. The RP-5 project meets the IRWM Goals and Objectives by reducing dependency on imported water through the production of recycled water after the treatment process. The recycled water would be distributed to the IEUA southern service area for use in groundwater recharge and irrigation. This will enable the region to be beter prepared for drought and reduce the reliance on the Sacramento-San Joquin Delta. Recycled water is availbe during droughts when other sources of water are diminished. IRWM Type OWOW Plan Project Type: Construction Latitude: Project Location: Longitude: RP-1 is located at 2662 E. Walnut Street in the City of Ontario within San Bernardino County. Benefit Zone Area (mi2): 120 Project Benefits: Benefits Water supply reliability, conservation and water-use efficiency Stormwater capture, storage, cleanup, treatment and management Removal of invasive species; wetlands creation or enhancement; acquisition, protection and restoration of open space n-point source pollution reduction, management, monitoring Groundwater recharge and management Contaminant and salt removal, reclamation, desalting and conveyance to users Water banking, exchange, reclamation and improvement of water quality Multipurpose flood and stormwater management programs Watershed protection and management Drinking water treatment and distribution Ecosystem and fisheries restoration and protection Applicable Where Benefits Accrue: 2 of 5

3 Regional Water Recycling Plant. 1 (RP-1) Jurisdiction: Explanation: Watershed/Su b-region: Explanation: Synergies: Multiple Communities This project will benefit the cities of Rancho Ccamonga, Montclair, Ontario, Upland and portions of Fontana Single Sub-region The project benefits are received by the cities and agencies within the IEUA service area and the Chino groundwater basin. N/A Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) and Native Tribal Communities (TC) 100% DAC: Portion DAC: DAC %: % TC: Portion TC: TC %: 0 Project area benefiting DAC (acres) : 20 Describe DAC and TC Benefits: The recharging the basin will benefit all who pump water from the basin, The updating of the recycled water system and additional delivery pipelines benefit all in IEUAs service area equally since each drop of recycled water leaves the same amount of potable water available for use by DAC, in addition to bther residents of the IEUAs service area.
