Small Pumper Qualifying DocumentationLo/8/2020Narrative

Well Site APN & Mappingr The well is on APN# 234.-06L-28 as identified on the application form and the enclosed map

provided as Exhibit A.r DMS has reviewed the ParcelQuest data, used by Antelope Valley Watermaster to determine the

correct APN, in comparison to the BNSF Railway Company GIS data, which is based on historicdeeds and easements. As shown on Exhibit B, the maps provided from BNSF Real Estate GISwebsite indicate parcel boundaries (shown in green) that outline the right-of-way and the stationlocations.

r The ParcelQuest GIS parcel boundaries for parcel 234-06L-28, however, do not encompass therailroad track. DMS believes the ParcelQuest parcel boundaries are incorrectly shifted to thesouth. ParcelQuest GIS data is a collection of GIS data received from each county assessor's office.The Kern County assessor's office states that the data has varying degrees of accuracy, andincludes a disclaimer stating, "Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy ofthe maps and data provided, but accuracy is not guaranteed". ln the metadata of the parcel layer,the county further states that the, "data is not to be construed as portraying legal ownership ordivisions of land for purposes of zoning or subdivision law." For these reasons, the GIS parcel dataalone should not be used as the sole authoritative source of legal parcel boundaries.

r Although we have not surveyed the property, DMS believes the BNSF Real Estate GtS data is amore accurate representation of the geographic location of the parcels controlled by BNSFRailway Co. The parcel bourndaries from BNSF are based on the deeds and easements from historicacquisitions and easement agreements.

r Additionally, the Department of the Air Force Easement for Right of Way on Edwards Air ForceBase, California dated June 18, 1957 describes the granting of an easement to The California,Arizona and 5anta Fe Railway Company (see information below regarding ownership changes) toconstruct, operate and maintain a rail line on land located on Edwards Air Force Base (See ExhibitC). Parcel no. 17 and Parcel no. 19 on pages 20 and 22 ofthe 1957 Easement are the locations ofthe parcels which the well and restroom are on, and part of APN #234-o6L-28 (See Exhibit D).These parcels are mapped in the BNSF Real Estate GlS website and indicated on the maps inExhibits A, B and D.

Property Owner/Well Ownerr BNSF Railway Company is the owner of the easernent that the well and bathroom are located on.r ln ParcelQuest, APN 234-061-28 is currently indexed as owned by A T & 5 F RR. However, as seen

in Exhibit E, the A T & 5 F RR property underwent a series of mergers ancl business name changes.Therefore, the owner name indexed in ParcelQuest is outdated. The current owner of theeasement is BNSF Railway Company.

Supporting Documentation. DMS searched for the DWR Well Completion Report but we were unable to locate it.o See attached well and pump pictures provided as Exhibit F.

Past and Future Usee The well was historically used more extensively to supply water to a water tank north of the well.

From the water tank, water was likely utilized for the RR depot and general rail road purposes.r The water tank has since been removed, but the well continues to suppNy a restroom.r The future use from the well is for restroom use.

Attachment to Godde Small Pumper Qualifuing Document

APN: 3219-015-00L

Summary: This is a Small Pumper Application for a well that services the domestic use ofthe ranch house and duplex that has housed between 1 and 6 occupants since the well was drilled. The

well was drilled between 1998 and 2OO2 and uses less than 25 AF of water each year.

Ownership: Current owners of the Property are Steve Godde, Pamela Godde and the GaryM. Godde 2015 Trust (Gary M. Godde Trustee). Their addresses and contact information are:

The Property has been owned by the Godde Family since 195L when Forrest Godde acquired title. ln1998, Forrest Godde conveyed title to the Forrest Godde 1998 Trust. ln 201,4 and following Forrest'sdeath, title was transferred to Steve Godde, Pamela Godde and Gary M. Godde.

Domestic Well Servicins the Ranch House and Duplex

The domestic well is identified on the attachments and was drilled sometime between 1998 and2002. We have been unable to locate documentation on the drilling of the well.

The well services the domestic use of the ranch house and the duplex located on the Property as

shown on the attachments. The house is approximately i-300 square feet and comprises 3 bedroomsand 2 bathrooms; the duplex also has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Since the well was drilled: (a) SteveGodde and his family used the ranch house as their residence from 1998 to 2O12; and (b) The duplexwas occupied by ranch hands from 1998 to approximately 20t7. The ranch house is currently occupiedby Steve Godde's son. Between 1998 and the present, the ranch house or the duplex have beenoccupied by at least 1 and no more than 6 individuals.

This is a domestic well that pumps less than 25 acre-feet of water per year with well water beingused by the occupants of the ranch house and the duplex. The well has not been used for crop irrigationor livestock. There are two other wells on the Property (both are currently metered) and werepreviously used for crop irrigation or any livestock that were maintained at the Property. No farming iscurrently conducted and no livestock is currently maintained on the Property.

iudgment and Overlving Production Rights: The current owners are parties to the Judgmentconfirming their Overlying Production Rights to 683 AF of water. lt is submitted that this Small PumperApplication should not reduce or impact the rights established by the Judgment.

Robert Parris, ChairAntelope Valley Watermaster Board

Re:Applications for Five Pilot Wells at AVEK's High Desert Water Bank

Watermaster Board:

Todd Groundwater has determined that five non-production well applications for wells atAVEK's High Desert Water Bank in the West Antelope Subarea are complete. These wells arepart of the High Desert Water Bank Project (Project), which is a new groundwater storage andrecovery facility that will store imported State Water Project (SWP) water in the West AntelopeSubarea with subsequent recovery during periods of low SWP water allocation.

The four pilot recovery wells (PRWs) and one monitoring well will provide hydrogeologic and

water quality information that will be used for the development of a groundwater model andfinal design of the Project. After construction, pumping tests will be performed on these wellsfor about seven days. Temporary push-up berms will be constructed to contain the pumpingtest water on the same or an adjacent parcelfor recharge back into the groundwater basin. Thewells will then sit idle for about three years until the Project is fully designed and constructed.AVEK will then submit a Storage Agreement application for the water bank and New Point ofExtraction (NPOE) applications for the pilot recovery wells that it would like to convert tooperational recovery wells. Material lnjury analyses will be conducted at that time.

Well construction information is provided in the table below.

The location of the High Desert Water Bank and the five proposed wells are shown on the nextpage and on figures included with each of the attached applications.

AVEK indicates that about 250 AF of groundwater will be pumped during the 7-day pumpingtests based on an estimated pumping rate of 2,000 gallons per minute for each of the four pilotrecovery wells. The monitoring well pumping will be significantly less. The pumped water willbe recharged back to the groundwater but some loss to evapotranspiration will occur. Toaccount for this groundwater use, AVEK will deduct 10 percent of the actual groundwaterpumped during the pumping tests from their banked/stored water or from their ProductionRight. lf 250 AF is pumped, then this amounts to 25 AF (250 AF x 0.10).

Todd Groundwater recommends approval of these four pilot recovery wells and one monitoringwell and finds no Material lnjury as defined in the Judgment provided:

1. The pumping test occurs in 4 wells for 7 days and produced water is discharged to a

locally-bermed area for recharge to groundwater.2. 10 percent of the groundwater pumped during the pumping tests is assumed to be lost

and will be deducted from AVEK's water supplies.3. Upon final Project design completion, AVEK will submit a Storage Agreement application

for the water bank.

4. Upon final Project design completion, NPOE applications will be submitted for the pilotrecovery wells that will be converted to operational recovery wells. lmpacts to local

wells will be evaluated at that time as part of the Material lnjury analysis.

YdM^^*- (,tl0"ttKatherine White, P.E.

RE ANTELOPE VALLEY-EAST KERN WATER AGENCY. HIGH DESERT WATER BANK(HDWB) PROJECT ONE (1) MONTTORTNG WELL AND FOUR (4) prLOTRECOVERY WELL APPLICATIONS

Dear Watermaster Board:

Enclosed please find five (5) Non-Production Well Applications submitted by theAntelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency (AVEK) which are associated with the developmentof the High Desert Water Bank Project (Project). The Project is a new groundwater storage andrecovery facility that will store imported State Water Project (SWP) water in the West AntelopeSubarea of the Antelope Valley Groundwater Basin and recover stored water during periods oflow SWP allocation.

The enclosed applications are for one (1) Monitoring Well and four (4) Pilot RecoveryWells, which will be constructed for hydrogeologic exploration and groundwater quality testingpurposes. The data collected from the monitoring/pilot recovery wells will be used in thedevelopment of a groundwater model and final design for the Project. The proposed PilotRecovery Wells will be constructed and then pump tested for a period of 7 days. After drillingand testing, they will sit idle until the Project is fully designed and constructed, which is estimatedto take three years to complete. Upon completion of the groundwater model and final design,AVEK will submit a Storage Agreement and application(s) for "New Point of Extraction Well" tothe Watermaster for review and material injury analysis before the Pilot Recovery Wells areequipped and converted to operational recovery wells for the High Desert Water Bank Project.

Very truly yours,

APN# 358-030-29 (FS Land Holding Company/Rabbitbrush Solar)New Point of Extraction Well Findings

Watermaster Board:

FS Land Holding Company (FSLH) and Rabbitbrush Solar, LLC (Rabbitbrush Solar) are part of theFirst Solar, lnc. organizational structure. FSLH would like to replace an existing well at theRabbitbrush Solar project facility in the West Antelope Subarea in Kern County. The proposedwell will be about 59L feet northwest from an existing well (see proposed and existing wellfigure included in the application). Past production amounts from the inactive existing well areunknown. The inactive existing well (and another well on the Rabbitbrush Solar site) will beproperly abandoned in accordance with Kern County well destruction requirements. Theapplicant is required to provide the Watermaster with a copy of an approved Kern County welldestruction permit when available.

The existing well is an inactive 8.25-inch diameter agricultural wellthat is screened from depthsof 282 to 397 feet. The screened interval has a heavy buildup of scale and growth. The new wellwill consist of a l-4-inch steel casing, extend to a depth of about 880 feet, and be screenedbetween 600 and 870 feet deep.

The new well will be used to supply water for the construction of one or more large-scale solarphotovoltaic project(s) and will likely supply water for the operations and maintenance of theseproject(s). During construction, the water will used for dust control and soil compaction. FSLH

anticipates that, at most, 734 AFY would be needed on an episodic/intermittent basis, butannual usage in most years would be much less. The water use for operations and maintenanceafter construction will be significantly less.

FSLH has 734.44 AFY of Production Rights and 4,083.66 AF of Carry Over water. lt ownsProduction Rights transferred from Rosamond Ranch (598 AFY plus2,376 AF of Carry Overwater)and a portion of the Production Rights transferred from Landinv, lnc. (136.44 AFY plus'J.,707.66 Carry Over water). Figure 1 shows the locations of the proposed well and parcelspreviously associated with Rosamond Ranch and Landinv, lnc. Production Rights.

Re


86

FSLH has the right to produce its Production Rights and Carry Over water on the colored parcels

shown on Figure 1. Note that this figure may not show all of the parcels owned by FSLH or itsParent Company, First Solar. The impacts of pumping from the proposed new well wasinvestigated by looking at groundwater level hydrographs and locations of possible nearbywells.

Figure 2 shows the proposed well locations with respect to Spring 2020 groundwater contours.As shown, the site is located about 4 miles northeast and generally downgradient from theWillow Springs Water Bank and the AVEK Westside Banking Project. No regional groundwaterlevel declines are apparent in the general vicinity of the proposed well although local waterlevel data are limited.

Hydrographs from nearby wells with water levels measured by USGS are shown on Figure 2.

The hydrograph for the closest well (USGS number ending in #0801- - top hydrograph on theright side of Figure 2) shows a slight increasing trend in water levels since about 2OL3. This wellis about 1- mile southwest from the proposed well. Another nearby well (#1404 - top right onFigure 2) shows stable water levels between 2018 and Spring 2019, then a slight decrease ofabout four feet between Spring 2019 and Spring 2020. This well is about 1.5 miles away fromthe proposed well. Well#2101 (top middle of Figure 2) shows a slight increase in water levelsbetween 2018 and Spring 2020. The 3O-foot increase in water levels between 2011 and 2013may reflect recharge at the Willow Springs Water Bank during this period. Water level increases

to the southwest and southeast of the proposed well, such as those seen in Well #L601- (top leftof Figure 2) and Well #31-01 (bottom right of Figure 21, are likely the result of recharge atAVEK's Westside Water Bank. Recharge at the Westside Bank the last three years is as follows:2OL7 =67,6O0 AF, 20 l-8= 12,559 AF, 2019= 46, 654 AF.

The aerial photograph on Figure 3 shows the area around the proposed well including theextent of the solar project and nearby residences that likely use groundwater. The figureindicates that the area is sparsely populated. There is a large solar facility to the southeastOther than the solar project site, the closest water users appear to be about one-half milesouth of the proposed well (Figure 3). Other potential well users are over one mile away.

Because this production represents a shifting of production from adjacent and nearby parcels

owned by FSLH (Figure 1), there is no Material lnjury associated with groundwater storage and

sustainable yield. The production is not within the historical or current areas of inelastic land

subsidence. Further, there is no expected impact to local water quality or recharge associatedwith the proposed well.

With regard to water levels, local hydrographs do not indicate significant water level declines in

this area. ln fact, due to local banking projects, water levels have risen slightly in recentmonitoring events.

Although local hydraulic aquifer properties are not available, a transmissivity value of 30,000gallons per day per foot (gpdft) was estimated based on reported hydraulic parameters in the

FS Land Holding CompanyNew Point of Extraction 2 TODD GROUNDWATER

87

USGS groundwater flow model (Layer t). According to the application, the use of 734 AFY

during construction is expected to be produced intermittently. Applying conservativeassumptions that the well will produce at its maximum design capacity of 600 gallons per

minute (gpm) continuously for 276 days, drawdown at wells about one-half mile away wouldnot be expected to experience less than about five feet of drawdown for the unconfinedaquifer. Although drawdown could be larger if deeper portions of the aquifer occur underconfined conditions, the current pumping assumptions seem sufficiently conservative, andreasonable intermittent production should allow water levels to recover. Given theseconditions, the estimated groundwater declines at wells about one-half mile or more from thenew wellare not judged to be sufficient to indicate Material lnjury.

Considering the above information and analysis, we recommend approval of this New Point ofExtraction application.

Sincerely,

)tdu^t*-(;l0ribKatherine White, P.E.

HiAngel,

Below is the summary you reguested. Please let me know if you need additional information.

The well will be primarlly used to supply water for the construction of one or more large scale solar photovoltaicproject(s); it will likely also be used to supply water during the operations and maintenance of the project(s) insignificantly lower quantities than would be used during construction. During construction, the water will used for dustcontrol and compaction in the site prep phase. We would expect to use at most 734 acre feet per year on anepisodic/intermittent basis, but would also expect that in most years usage would be significantly less over theoperational life of the well (i.e. during operations after construction is complete).

Best Regards,

Mark

Material lnjury Statement

103

First Solar Proprietary & Confidential - General

A material injury statement is a written statement describing how the New Point af Extrsction will natcause Material lnjury. Material lnjury could be in the farm af significant and unreasanoble 1. Chroniclowering of groundwater levels such thot neighbaring wells are impacted, 2. Reductian of groundwsterstoraqe, 3. Degraded water quality, 4, Land subsidence, 5. Oepletians of interconnected surfsce watersuch thot beneficial uses are impacted, or other odverse physicol impact to the basin or ta qnather

Producer.

Material lnJury Statement

The following is a Material lnjury Statement regarding the New Point of Extraction Application to theAntelope Valley Watermaster. The new well location is proposed in APN 358-030-29, northeast of theintersection of Fisher Avenue and 1.30th Street West in Rosamond, California 93560

a The current well design, of 600 gallons per minute extraction rate, should have little impact toany nearby well that is over % mile away. Because the nearest wells are over % mile from theproposed well, there should be no impact from the proposed well's cone-of-depression thatwould cause a significant and unreasonable chronic lowering of groundwater levels such thatneighboring wells are impacted. Therefore, the pumping will not cause a significant andrnreasonable reduction in groundwater storage.

There is no evidence that there would be any degraded water quality from the well as there areno known local degraded groundwater conditions that could be mobilized by the pumping.

This area has not shown historical land subsidence due to groundwater pumping and thus it isunlikely that the proposed well would produce land subsidence,

There are no surface water bodies that could be impacted so the well could not produce a

depletion of interconnected surface water such that beneficial uses are impacted,

Therefore, the well should have no adverse physical impact to the basin or to another producer

TODDIGROUNDWATER

November L8,2O2O


Re:APN# 3306-009-001 (Garcia, Leonel) New Production Application Findings

Watermaster Board:

Todd Groundwater has determined that the above-mentioned application for New Productionin the Central Antelope Valley Subarea for agricultural and domestic use on a vacant lO-acreparcel is complete. The applicant plans to use 4L acre-feet per year (AFY) of groundwater tosupply water to a residence and a barn and for irrigation of an 8-acre pistachio orchard. As withother applications for New Production, the applicant will agree to metering their well andpaying a replacement water assessment on all production. The applicant is a Party to theJudgment because they are part of the Non-Pumper Class (Willis Class) and meet the criteriadescribed in Section 3.5-22 of the Judgment.

Water demand for the house and the barn and associated landscaping was estimated at 1.9

AFY. Water demand for the 8-acre pistachio orchard was estimated at 39.1AFY1. The proposed

well will have an eight-inch PVC casing and will extend to an estimated depth of 400 feet.

Figure 1 shows the location of the Garcia parcel in the Central Antelope Valley Subarea withrespect to Spring 2020 groundwater contours. The parcel is in the northeastern portion of theCentral Antelope Valley Subarea and just south of the Edwards Air Force Base. Groundwaterelevations appear to be relatively flat in this area. Hydrographs from nearby wells with waterlevels measured by USGS are shown on Figure 2. A hydrograph for the Well (USGS numberending in #2001, right side in middle of Figure 2) shows generally levelgroundwater elevationsbetween 2016 and 2019. A water level measurement from 2O2O was not available for this wellas ofJune 2O2O.

Figure 3 shows aerial images of the area on two different scales. The map on the top of thefigure shows large agricultural areas to the west and south and the map on the bottom of thefigure is on a larger scale and shows that the area is sparsely developed with a few ruralresidences within 750 to 1,500 feet of the Garcia parcel. The agricultural fields located to thewest are irrigated with recycled water from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD)

1 Orchard demand based on: ET of 50.93 inches/yr - 5 inches/yr of rainfall; 8-acre area (348,480 sf); drip irrigationwith 90% efficiency; 15% contingency = [45.93/L2x348,480/0.90 x 1.15/43,560]


107

Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant (Lancaster WRP). Figure 4 is a reproduction of a figure froma LACSD report showing the location and extent of the areas irrigated with recycled water. The

fields are planted with alfalfa and some sorghum. About 8,230 AF of recycled water was applied

at LASCD's Eastern Agricultural Site in 2019 (from Appendix A of the Lancaster WRP 2019

Annual Monitoring Report). The 201-9 Annual Monitoring Report (see Appendix A of that report)concluded that "...best monagement proctices were used by the grower, as deep percolation is

not occurring, ond the application of water is below the calculoted agronomic rates. ln addition,the grower is maintaining the irrigation equipment by repairing the center pivots ond replacingthe flow meters as quickly as possible."

Figure 5 is a reproduction of a figure from the 2019 Annual Report that shows the distributionof 2OL9 groundwater production. The colored circles represent magnitudes of production. The

larger circles generally represent more than one well. This figure shows that there is

concentrated agricultural production south and southwest of the Garcia parcel.

Material lnjury Analysis

ln order to provide drip irrigation of 39 AFY over the 8-acre pistachio orchard, the well wouldonly need to be operated at rates of about 50 gallons per minute (gpm) for a 1-80-day growing

season. Because Mr. Garcia will be required to pay a Replacement Water Assessment forproduction, there is no Material lnjury associated with groundwater storage and sustainableyield. There is no expected impact to local water quality associated with the small amount ofirrigation and domestic use on the Garcia parcel. ln addition, there is no impact on naturalrecharge in the vicinity as a result of production of the proposed well.

Although there is some uncertainty associated with aquifer properties in this local area, theproposed irrigation amount and schedule would not be expected to result in significantdrawdown (less than 5 feet) in local wells more than 750 feet from the parcel. lt is noted thatthe proposed well is located within the historical or current areas of inelastic land subsidence in

the Subbasin. lf chronic lowering of water levels were expected as a result of this pumping,

additional land subsidence could be triggered. However, given the low pumping rates and small

amount of production associated with this project, impacts to land subsidence such that land

use would be affected are not anticipated. Further, any return flows associated with theadjacent parcels irrigated with recycled water would offset the small local drawdownassociated with this new well.

The information provided indicates that the New Production will be used in a mannerconsistent with California best water management practices. Given the obligation to meter allproduction and pay a Replacement Water Assessment for any water produced, along with theobserved groundwater elevations and trends in the vicinity of the Garcia parcel since

finalization of the Judgment, the estimated production of 41 AFY is not likely to cause adverse

impacts; accordingly, Todd Groundwater finds that the potential for Material lnjury as definedin the Judgment is negligible. However, it is noted that this application represents the largest

request for New Production that has been presented to the Watermaster Board for approval in

Re: APN# 3029-011-011 (Odango) New Production Application Findings

Watermaster Board

Todd Groundwater has determined that the above-mentioned application for New Productionin the South East Subarea for agricultural and domestic use on a vacant 4O-acre site iscomplete. The applicant plans to use about 30 AFY for organic farming, irrigation oflandscaping, shade and fruit trees, and bushes and to supply water to a variety of farm animals,a barn and three home/office trailers. The applicant intends to practice sustainable organicfarming and use a rainwater harvesting system to capture water for crops and for recharge.

The proposed well will have a five-inch PVC casing and will extend to an estimated depth of 300to 400 feet and a capacity of 5 gallons per minute (gpm). The area is sparsely populated withthe exception of a housing development east of and adjacent to the Odango parcel, east of160th Street East, as shown on the figure included in the application. This housing developmentis within Region 38, Lake Los Angeles, of the Los Angeles County Waterworks District 40 (District40) service area and is presumed to be supplied waterfrom District 40. The District 40 Region

38, Lake Los Angeles service area aligns with the eastern boundary of the Odango parcel. TheOdango parcel is located within the District 40 sphere of influence but outside of a specifiedregion service area.

Figure 1 shows the location of the Odango parcel in the South East Subarea with respect toSpring 2020 groundwater contours. The Odango parcel is just south of a bedrock outcrop.Hydrographs from nearby wells with water levels measured by USGS are shown on Figure 2.

The two closest hydrographs are for Well #95201 (top hydrograph on right side of Figure 2) andWell #01601 (left hydrograph on the bottom of Figure 2). These wells are about 1 mile and 1-.5

miles southeast of the Odango parcel, respectively. Neither well indicates a long-term decliningtrend in water levels. Water levels in Well #95201 have been generally stable, although a slightdecrease of about 1-.57 feet occurred between 2016 and 2020. Water levels in Well #01606have leveled off in recent years with a slight decrease of 1.82 feet between 2016 and 2020. lncontrast, the hydrograph from Well #L4501, about 2 miles northwest of the Odango pa.rcel,

shows rather steep decline of about 17 feet between 2016 and 2O2O. The source of this declineis unknown, although there are public supply wells about 2.5 miles to the east of Well #L4501.


132

Because Mr. Odango will be required to pay a Replacement Water Assessment for production,there is no Material lnjury associated with groundwater storage and sustainable yield. Further,the new production appears to be just outside an area of historical or current areas of inelasticland subsidence. There is no expected impact to local water quality or recharge associated withthe Odango well.

The proposed well is located about 1,200 feet from t60th Street SE and the adjacent housingdevelopment. lt is not known if any of the homes have a private well, but it is assumed that thewell is not the homes' primary water supply. Although the aquifer properties in the area are notwell known, the current proposed well is only designed for 5 gpm, a rate that would not likely

significantly impact any local private well. Production totaling 30 AFY could not be produced

from a 5 gpm well, so additional well(s) might be needed to produce 30 AFY. The applicantwould need to submit a New Point of Extraction application for any new wells.

The information provided indicates that the New Production will be used in a mannerconsistent with California best water management practices and the obligation to pay a

Replacement Water Assessment, Todd Groundwater finds that the potential for Material lnjuryas defined in the Judgment is negligible. The applicant is a Party to the Judgment because theyare part of the Non-Pumper Class (Willis Class) and meet the criteria described in Section 3.5-22of the Judgment.

Sincerely,

Xd^t"^*- {/0jtaKatherine White, P.E.

Transfer ApplicationTierra Bonita Ranch to Gene Wheeler Farms, lnc. Transfer

Watermaster Board:

Tierra Bonita Ranch has submitted an application for a transfer of 860 acre-feet (AF) of theirProduction Rights to Gene Wheeler Farms, lnc. The transfer is for 430 AF of 2020 ProductionRights and for 430 AF of 2O2L Production Rights.

Tierra Bonita Ranch has a total Production Right of 430 AFY. ln the past, they leased their lands

to Calandri Farms for agricultural production; however, they reportedly have not produced anywater in 2O2O and do not intend to produce water in 2020 and 202L. ln early June 2020, theyprovided documentation to the Watermaster Engineer that the three onsite wells had been

abandoned.

ln October 2O2O, a permanent transfer of 1 AF of Production Rights from Craig Van Dam toGene Wheeler Farms, lnc. was approved provided Gene Wheeler Farms, lnc. intervenes in theJudgment.

Gene Wheeler Farms would like to purchase these Production Rights from Tierra Bonita Ranch

as an investment. Todd Groundwater recommends the approval of this application on thecondition that Gene Wheeler Farms, lnc. successfully intervenes in the Judgment and that a

New Point of Extraction application or a subsequent Transfer application is submitted in thefuture before the water is produced and that future water use is shown not to cause a Materiallnjury.

Transfer Request of Calandri Farms, Inc.

December 2,2020

23641-l

The Watermaster has received a request from Calandri Farms, Inc. ("Calandri") forapproval of a temporary transfer of 22,800 acre-feet (AF) of water to V Lions Operations, L.P("V Lions") to be used between the years2021 and2028. Both Calandri and V Lions havesuccessfully intervened to become Parties to the Judgment in satisfaction of a Watermastercondition of approval of a similar transfer earlier this year.

The 22,800 AF proposed to be transferred from Calandri to V Lions is actually a

Production Right which belongs to County Sanitation District No. 14 of Los Angeles County("District"), and has been leased to Calandri pursuant to a private written lease agreementbetween Calandri and the District, as the same has been amended from time to time ("Lease").

The Watermaster Engineer contacted the District to determine whether the Districtapproves of the proposed transfer. Stan Pediagotes, Section Head of Planning and PropertyManagement at the District, responded to the Watermaster Engineer via e-mail on November 9,2020, to confirm that the proposed transfer "comports with the terms of the Lease," but notedthat "if the Lease terminates for any reason, including as a result of a breach on the part ofCalandri, then the water may no longer be transferred as of the date of the Lease termination."

On November 12,2020, the Watermaster General Counsel was contacted by ChristopherM. Sanders, counsel for the District, who confirmed that the District approves of the proposedtransfer, but also wanted the Watermaster to know and understand that the District could attemptto invalidate the transfer and "claw back" the water rights transferred by Calandri to V Lions inthe event Calandri defaults under the terms of the Lease.

If approved by the Board, in addition to the conditions of approval recommended by theWatermaster Engineer, the Watermaster General Counsel recommends that the transfer besubject to the following conditions: (l) both Calandri and V Lions must indemnify and defendthe Watermaster for any costs and fees incurred as a result of any legal challenge to eitherentity's authority to enter into such a transfer; (2) Calandri and/or V Lions must reimburse theWatermaster for all Watermaster General Counsel legal expenses incurred in the review andprocessing of the application; and (3) the Watermaster's approval of the application shall not be

158

Memo to: Antelope Valley Watermaster BoardRe: Transfer Request of Calandri Farms" Inc.December 2,2020Page2

construed as precedent or authority for any Party to transfer a Production Right that does notbelong to such Putty, regardless of the existence of any lease agreement or other private contract.

David Leventhal, counsel for Calandri, has indicated that his clients are willing to agreeto all of the foregoing conditions of approval.

This transfer application, and the prior transfer applications of Calandri under the Leasewith the District, raise unique but potentially problematic issues that may arise again in thefuture. The Watermaster General Counsel, Engineer and Staff time involved in reviewing andverifying the legal authority of a Party to transfer a Production Right that belongs to anotherParty pursuant to a private agreement inevitably results in excessive legal expenses for theWatermaster. Furthermore, as the District has indicated through its representative and legalcounsel, Watermaster approval of such transfers potentially exposes the Watermaster toinvolvement in legal disputes between third-parties related to whether and to what extent thetransferor has authority to transfer the Production Right at issue. The Watermaster GeneralCounsel believes the indemnity condition of approval set forth above will adequately mitigatethis concern in the present case, but may not provide a feasible long-term solution if other similartransfer requests are submitted in the future.

In light of the above concerns, the Board may direct the Watermaster General Counsel todraft revisions to the Rules and Regulations to address whether and how such transfer requestsshould be handled in the future.

County Sanitation District No. 14 of Los Angeles County to V Lions Operations Transfer(via Calandri Farms, lnc. Lease)

Watermaster Board:

Calandri Farms, lnc. (Calandri Farms)submitted an application to transfer 22,8OO acre-feet (AF)

of water to V lions Operations over the 202L through 2028 time period (2,850 AF per year).

Both the transferor and the transferee have recently intervened into the Judgment and are nowExhibit 4 Parties. Calandri Farms has 1 AFY of Production Rights from a transfer from Craig VanDam. The water it proposes to transfer is water that is leased to Calandri Farms from CountySanitation District No. 14 of Los Angeles County (LACSD) pursuant to a written lease agreement(Lease). LACSD has provided email authorization that the transfer "comports with the terms ofthe Lease" (a copy of that email is attached) but notes that "if the Lease terminates for any

reason, including as a result of a breach on the part of Calandri [Farms], then the water may nolonger be transferred as of the date of the Lease termination."

V Lions has L AFY of Production Rightsl and 4,t52 AF of Carry Over water2. V Lions would like tobuy the water as an investment and consequently, the extraction locations are not known atthis time so no Material lnjury analysis can be conducted,

The Watermaster Engineer recognizes that there are special considerations for this transfer,which will be an annual transfer through 2028, that may require a legal opinion. TheWatermaster Engineer defers to the Watermaster General Counsel as to whether theJudgement allows a transfer to be initiated from Calandri Farms and that might involve futurecompliance with the Lease and what measures the Watermaster might need to take to protectitself from any future breach of the Lease.

lf approved, it should be subject to any conditions identified by the Watermaster GeneralCounsel and on the condition that a New Point of Extraction application or a subsequent

1 1 AFY from Craig and Marta Van Dam.2 4,L52 AF from the County Sanitation District No. L4 of Los Angeles County via Calandri Farms lease ffansferapproved in iune 2020.

The 22,800 AF proposed to be transfened from Calandri to V Lions is actually aProduction Right which belongs to County Sanitation District No. l4 of Los Angeles County("District"), and has been leased to Calandri pursuant to a private written lease agreementbetween Calandri and the District, as the same has been amended from time to time ("Lease")

The Watermaster Engineer contacted the District to determine whether the Districtapproves of the proposed transfer. Stan Pediagotes, Section Head of Planning and PropertyManagement at the District, responded to the Watermaster Engineer via e-mail on November 9,

2020, to confirm that the proposed transfer "comports with the terms of the Lease," but notedthat "if the Lease terminates for any reason, including as a result of a breach on the part ofCalandri, then the water may no longer be transferred as of the date of the Lease termination."

On November 12,2020, the Watermaster General Counsel was contacted by ChristopherM. Sanders, counsel for the District, who confirmed that the District approves of the proposedtransfer, but also wanted the Watermaster to know and understand that the District could attemptto invalidate the transfer and "claw back" the water rights transferred by Calandri to V Lions inthe event Calandri defaults under the terms of the Lease.

If approved by the Board, in addition to the conditions of approval recommended by theWatermaster Engineer, the Watermaster General Counsel recommends that the transfer besubject to the following conditions: (1) both Calandri and V Lions must indemnify and defendthe Watermaster for any costs and fees incurred as a result of any legal challenge to eitherentity's authority to enter into such a transfer; (2) Calandri and/or V Lions must reimburse theWatermaster for all Watermaster General Counsel legal expenses incurred in the review andprocessing of the application; and (3) the Watermaster's approval of the application shall not be

173

Memo to: Antelope Valley Watermaster BoardRe: Transfer Request of Calandri Farms, Inc.December 2,2020Page2

construed as precedent or authority for any Party to transfer a Production Right that does notbelong to such Party, regardless of the existence of any lease agreement or other private contract.

David Leventhal, counsel for Calandri, has indicated that his clients are willing to agree

to all of the foregoing conditions of approval.

This transfer application, and the prior transfer applications of Calandri under the Lease

with the District, raise unique but potentially problematic issues that may arise again in thefuture. The Watermaster General Counsel, Engineer and Staff time involved in reviewing and

verifying the legal authority of a Party to transfer a Production Right that belongs to anotherParty pursuant to a private agreement inevitably results in excessive legal expenses for theWatermaster. Furthermore, as the District has indicated through its representative and legalcounsel, Watermaster approval of such transfers potentially exposes the Watermaster toinvolvement in legal disputes between third-parties related to whether and to what extent thetransferor has authority to transfer the Production Right at issue. The Watermaster GeneralCounsel believes the indemnity condition of approval set forth above will adequately mitigatethis concern in the present case, but may not provide a feasible long-term solution if other similartransfer requests are submitted in the future.

In light of the above concerns, the Board may direct the Watermaster General Counsel todraft revisions to the Rules and Regulations to address whether and how such transfer requestsshould be handled in the future.

FS Land Holding Company, LLC Allocation of Production Rights Associated with a Change

in Organizational Structure

Watermaster Board:

FS Land Holding Company, LLC (FSLH) is a Party to the Judgment and has 734.44 acre-feet per

year (AFY) of Production Rights. lt owns Production Rights transferred from Rosamond Ranch

(598 AFY plus 2,376 AF of Carry Over water) and a portion of the Production Rights transferredfrom Landinv, lnc. (136.44 AFY plus L,7O7.66 Carry Over water).

FSLH, US Solar Assets, LLC (US Solar), and Rabbitbrush Solar, LLC (Rabbitbrush Solar) are part ofthe First Solar, lnc. organizational structure. Due to a change in organizational structure at First

Solar, lnc., the parent company, FSLH is requesting Watermaster approval of two permanent

transfers, one to Rabbitbrush Solar and one to US Solar. FSLH requests to transfer 10 AFY ofProduction Rights and 300 AF of Carry Over water to Rabbitbrush Solar and the remainder of itsProduction Rights and Carry Over water (724.44 AF of Production Rights;3,783.66 AF of Carry

Over water)to US Solar. US Solar and Rabbitbrush Solar will both intervene in the Judgment.

The figures attached to the applications show the locations of parcels associated withRabbitbrush Solar and with US Solar. FSLH has submitted a New Point of Extraction applicationfor a proposed well on the Rabbitbrush Solar site. That application is also on the AVWM Board

agenda for approval in December.

Todd Groundwater finds that the attached applications for the division of Production Rights and

Carry Over water is complete. Recognizing that this division of Production Rights will not change

extraction locationsl or amounts, Todd Groundwater finds the potential for Material lnjury as

defined in the Judgment negligible and recommends approval of this transfer provided US Solar

and Rabbitbrush Solar successfully intervene in the Judgment

Sincerely,

)1d^t"^-b0"bKatherine White, P.E.

RE: FS Land Holding Gompany, LLC's Request to Transfer Antelope Valley Water Rights

To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to the Judgment and the Antelope Valley Watermaster ("Watermaster") Rules and Regulations,FS Land Holding Company, LLC ('FSLH"), US Solar Assets, LLC ('US Solar"), and Rabbitbrush Solar, LLC("Rabbitbrush") submit the enclosed transfer request forms for Watermaster review and approval. Each ofthe three entities is a part of the First Solar, lnc. organizational structure, and FSLH is currently a party tothe Judgment as successor to the following Production Rights delineated in Exhibit 4 to the Judgment: (i)

136.44 acre-feet (post-rampdown) of the Production Right originally allocated to Landlnv, lnc.; and, (ii) theentirety of the 598 acre-feet Production Right originally allocated to Rosamond Ranch, LP. FSLH alsoowns substantial water in Carry Over as a result of each of these Production Rights.

Due to a change in organizational structure at First Solar, lnc., the entities' parent company, FSLH nowrequests Watermaster approval of two permanent transfers, one to US Solar and one to Rabbitbrush.FSLH requests to transfer 300 acre-feet of its Carry Over water anp 10 acre-feet of its Production Right toRabbitbrush, and the remainder of its water righls (724.44 acre-feet in Production Rights and all remainingCarry Over water) to US Solar. FSLH, Rabbitbrush, and US Solar have executed and attached theappropriate forms hereto, and will submit a check for the necessary fees with the hard copy of this letter.Because the transfers are the product of a change in organizational structure, as opposed to a materialshift (see enclosed maps) in production locations, there should be no Material lnjury associated with thetransfers. Further, US Solar and Rabbitbrush will be seeking to intervene in the Judgment forthwith.Accordingly we respectfully request Watermaster agendize and approve these transfer requests atWatermaster's December 2,2020 Board of Directors meeting.

TODDIGROUNDWATER

November L6,2O2O


Re: Richard Selak Transfer to H&N Development Co. West lnc. andSteven Selak Transfer to H&N Development Co. West lnc.

Watermaster Board

Todd Groundwater finds that the attached applications for one-time transfers from StevenSelak and from Richard Selak to H&N Development Company West lnc. (H&N Development) arecomplete. Both the transferor and transferee are Exhibit 4 Parties. Steven Selak and Richard

Selak are Successor Trustees of the Barbara Navaro Aznarez and Mabel Selak Trusts and

successfully split the Production Rights evenly between themselves in July 2020.

Richard Selak would like to transfer a total of 155 acre-feet (AF) [90 AF of Carry Over water and65 AF of unused 2020 Production Rightsl. Steven Selak would like to also transfer a total of 155

AF [90 AF of Carry Over water and 65 AF of unused 2O2O Production Rights]. The total amounttransferred to H&N Development is 3L0 AF. The Selaks have the Carry Over water and

remaining 2020 Production Rights for these transfers.

H&N Development will be using this water to continue irrigation on its parcels. Past productionfrom H&N Development's two wells is as follows:

2OL6 = L,O2.O. 42 AF

2OL7 = t,799.75 AF

2OL8= 1,278.46 AF

2Ot9 = 1,559.94 AF

Average = L,414.54 AF

lf approved, this transfer water would be used for 2O2O and2O2L production. Total productionfrom the wells is not expected to increase but the transferred water will be used to compensatefor the reduction in available Rampdown water in 2O2O and 202I. H&N Development has a

Production Right of 808 AF. ln 2019, its production started to exceed its available Rampdownl.Available Rampdown amounts for 2O2O and 2O2I are 1,303.88 AF and 1,138.58 AF,

respectively.

1 lts 2019 production was 1,559.94 AF and available Rampdown Production was L,469.L7 AF resulting in aReplacement Water Obligation of 90.77 AF 1L,469.L7-1,559.94), lt used a portion of its 2020 Production Right tocover this 2019 Replacement Water Obligation.


192

The Selaks' parcel is in the western portion of the Central Antelope Valley Subarea and H&N

Development parcels are in the eastern portion of the West Antelope Valley Subarea (see

Figure 1). A more detailed location map of the parcels is included in the application that shows

the H&N Development parcels and its two wells. The H&N Development parcels are aboutseven miles northwest of the Selaks' parcel.

Figure 1 also shows the location of the H&N Development parcels with respect to Spring 2020groundwater contours. As shown, the site is located about four miles east and generally

downgradient from the Willow Springs Water Bank and the AVEK Westside Banking Project. No

regional groundwater level declines are apparent in the general vicinity of the H&N

Development parcels.

Recognizing that this is a one-time transfer and that the H&N Development pumping does notrepresent new pumping, Todd Groundwater finds the potential for Material lnjury as defined in

the Judgment negligible.

Sincerely,

Re: Split of Godde Production Rights, ApN 3219-015-001

Watermaster Board:

The Godde familyl is an Exhibit 4 Party with 683 AFY of Production Rights. They would like todivide the Production Rights as follows:

o steven F. Godde and Denise Godde = 247.266 acre-feet/year (AFy)o Gary M. Godde, Trustee of the Gary M. Godde 2015 Trust = 2t7.867 AFyr Pamela M. Godde = 2L7.867 AFY.

At the beginning of 2O2O, the Godde familyl had 1,366 AF of Carry Over water. This water willbe divided as follows:

o Steven F. Godde and Denise Godde =494.5J2 AF. Gary M. Godde, Trustee of the Gary M. Godde 2015 Trust = 435.734 AFo Pamela M. Godde = 435.734 AF.

There are three wells on the property: one domestic well and two non-domestic wells. Thedomestic well provides water to a house on the parcel. The Godde's will be submitting a SmallPumper Qualifying Documentation for the domestic well. This documentation is expected toalso be on the December AVWM Board agenda for approval. The two non-domestic wells areproperty metered and operational but have not been used in 2018 and 2019. Steve Godde,Pamela Godde and Gary Godde are the current owners of the parcel and will continue to ownthe wells and be jointly responsible for the metering, operation, maintenance and repair of thewells.

Most of the parcel is leased to San Pablo Raceway LLC and is used for solar operations. Underthe Lease agreement, San Pablo Raceway LLC has no right to the water from the parcel and hasno right to pump water from the wells.

The Goddes also have lmported Water Return Flow (IWRF) rights that were assigned by theTrustee of the Forrest G. Godde 1998 Trust as follows: one-third to Gary M. Godde; one-third to

1 Listed in the Judgment as "Denise Godde, Steven F. Godde, Pamela M. Godde and Gary M. Godde; Denise Goddeand Steven Godde as Trustees ofthe D & S Godde Trust".


209

Steve F. Godde; and one-third to Pamela M. Godde. lmported water is not used on the site sono there is no IWRF credit.

Todd Groundwater finds that the attached applications for the division of Production Rights andCarry Over water is complete. Recognizing that this division of Production Rights will not changeextraction locations or amounts, Todd Groundwater finds the potential for Material lnjury as

defined in the Judgment negligible.

production wells are located. Vulcan Materials Company has three wells on parcel 305L-009-016 (Wells t,2, and 3) and one well on parcel 3080-024-008 (Big Rock Well). Well t has notproduced water since at least 2016. Well 2 produced an average of about 463 AFY in 2018 and2019 and estimated future production from this well is about 480 AFY. Well 3 produced anaverage of about 86 AFY in 2018 and 2019. The production from this well will be transferred toa replacement well that is in the process of being installed. The replacement well was approvedby the Board at its August26,2020 meeting (Resolution R-20-27l'. Well 3 will remain as anemergency back-up well. Combined future production at the replacement well and Well 3 isestimated at 200 AFY.

The Big Rock well produced an average of about 29 AFY in 2018 and 2019. Future productionfrom this well is estimated 10 AFY.

Recognizing that this is a one-time transfer, and that this water does not represent newproduction, Todd Groundwater finds the potential for Material lnjury as defined in theJudgment negligible.

At its October 28,2020 rcgular meeting, the Watermaster Board directed Staff andGeneral Counsel to generate revisions to the final Rules and Regulations that would allow theWatermaster to recover its legal expenses incurred in reviewing certain applications.

"j. Recovery of Watermaster Legal Expenses When Processing Unique or ComplexApplications

The Watermaster may, in its reasonable discretion, require that any Party submitting anapplication under Sections 9 (Storage Agreements), 13 (Tranders) or 14 (New or ReplacementWell Applications, Applicationsfor New Production, and Small Pumper QualificationApplications) of these i?&.Rs, reimburse any or all of the Watermaster's legal expenses incurredwhen processing such application. The Watermaster's determination as to whether and howmuch a Party must reimburse the Watermasterfor such legal expenses shall be evaluated on acase-by-case basis, upon recommendationfrom Watermaster Stffi based upon the complexity ofthe application under consideration and whether the application raises unique or complex legalissues necessitating more Watermaster General Counsel time and involvement than is typical inreview and analysis of such an application. Reimbursement of all such Watermaster legalexpenses shall be a prerequisite to Watermaster approval of the application."

In addition, Watermaster General Counsel recommends that the 2021Watermaster FeeSchedule include a footnote for all applications as follows:

"*Pursuant to Section 19j of the Wqtermaster Rules and Regulations (Watermaster ResolutionNo. R-20-), in addition to the fixedfees listed above, the Watermoster may, in its reqsonablediscretion, require any applicant to reimburse the Watermaster for any or all of its legalexpenses incurred when processing such application, depending upon the level of comptexity of

You aiso cunently owe assessments inthe amount of $3,190 for2017 and 2018, as calculatedusing your electrical billing history and pump test for those years.

Wagas Land Company, LLCRe: Pumpilrg of Groundwater from the Antelope Vallqr Adjudicated BasinNovember 73,2020Page2

As I have stated in my prior correspondence, Parties who have not installed meters maybe inaccurately reporting groundwater production and either failing to pay or underpayingassessments. Because the meter installation requirement is a key component of the Rampdownand other production monitoring requirements under the Judgment, your failure to timely installmeters on your wells and submit the required post-installation documentation is prohibited by theJudgment and subject to a Watermaster action for injunctive relief, including recovery of costs

and attomeys' fees. (JudgmentlJfl 18.4.10, 18.4.12.)
