Zone, the San Timoteo Management Zone and the Beaumont Management Zone. See
Section 12 for the pollution prevention requirements associated with new development.

C. Groundwater Deposits for New Development. The District provides potable water based
on a long-term average of approximately 50% groundwater and 50% imported
supplemental water to our existing customers. This average will fluctuate based on the
water resource management strategies of the District.

Any supplemental imported water provided during the entitlement process shall become
the property of the District at the time building permits are issued.

1. All New Developments. For all building permits issued after July 1, 2009, new
development shall be required to appropriately fund the purchase of seven (7) acre
feet of imported supplemental water prior to the issuance of a grading or building
permit. The rate for this supplemental imported water shall be based on the
anticipated imported water delivery rate charged by the State Water Project Contractor
providing service to the location of the new development. The District shall
accommodate the early payment of this fee for any parcel proposed to be developed.

In response to water shortage conditions, the Board of Directors may at any time cease
the authorization of grading or building permi ts based on the implementation of certain
Water Shortage Response Stages. Based on information at the time this Resolution
was prepared, the District staff anticipates recommending that the Board of Directors
cease the authorization of grading and building permits for Standard Developments
during Water Shortage Response Stages 3, 4 and 5, except as provided below.

2. Achieving a Crystal Status Development. Any new development may achieve the
status of a Crystal Development by securing the physical delivery of 15.68 acre feet of
imported supplemental water per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). The rate for this
supplemental imported water shall be based on the charges to the District by the
respective State Water Project Contractor.

In response to water shortage conditions, the Board of Directors may at any time cease
the authorization of grading or building permi ts based on the implementation of certain
Water Shortage Response Stages. Based on information at the time this Resolution
was prepared, the District staff anticipates recommending that the Board of Directors
cease the authorization of grading and building permits for Crystal Developments
during Water Shortage Response Stage 5 with possible restrictions impacting
development during Water Shortage Response Stage 4.

a. The developer shall submit an application for each parcel within the proposed
development (by Assessor’s Parcel Number) and deposits sufficient funds for the
purchase and delivery of imported supplemental water.

b. The District staff will assign a completed application to the appropriate processing
bin for supplemental imported water deliveries based on the availability of supply
and facilities required to deposit (by recharge or injection) the supplemental water
into the Groundwater Bank.

c. The availability of supplemental imported water to fulfill the requests associated
