After further discussion, Member Zoba moved to continue this item at the next
Watermaster meeting. The motion was seconded by Member Kyle Warsinski
and passed 5-0.

VIII. Topics for Future Meetings

A. Groundwater Storage Agreement in the Beaumont Basin for the San Gorgonio Pass
Water Agency

B. Development of a methodology and policy to account for new yield from capturing
local storm water in the basin

C. Development of a methodology and policy to account for groundwater storage losses
in the basin resulting from the spreading of additional water sources

D. Development of a methodology and policy to account for recycled water recharge

E. Develop a protocol to increase the accuracy and consistency of data reported to the
Watermaster

F. Develop a policy to account for transfers of water that may result when an
Appropriator provides water service to an Overlying Party

Engineer Blandon stated that items B., C., and D. presented opportunities that
the Watermaster could take advantage of in the next year, and offered to
prepare proposals for those items to be considered as part of the Watermaster
budget for the next fiscal year. Member Fraser suggested that Legal Counsel
Montoya work with Watermaster Members to develop a framework that mirrors
the indirect potable reuse regulations as adopted by the State of California, as
a basis for item D. Chairman Vela asked Legal Counsel Montoya whether this
framework was something that could be developed by the December meeting,
and Legal Counsel Montoya responded affirmatively.

Member Warsinski suggested it wouldn’t hurt to have a quote for the services
that would be rendered under items B. and C. Engineer Blandon stated that he
would work on getting a proposal to the Watermaster by the December
meeting for consideration.
