otecitos Water Alterative

When Samuel Coleridge penned his poem, Rime of the Ancient Marinerin 1797, with its famous line, Water, water every where, Nor anydrop to drink, it is possible he was talking about Montecito and

ta Barbara with its torment of thirst during periods of severe drought. Wein a desert that is (to borrow a line from our own Richard Mineards) just aras toss away from the worlds largest body of water.he Pacific Ocean stretches over 63.8 million square miles, larger than all therlds land masses combined. It is an inexhaustible, drought-proof reservoir sit-g in the South Central Coasts front yard. Ninety-seven percent of all the waterEarth lies in our salty oceans; 2% is frozen in glaciers and ice caps; less thanof the rest is potable drinking water. The problem is not a scarcity of water,rather the same problem that a Margarita bartender has: salt or no salt.esalination is currently plagued by at least three problems: 1) Seawateralination plants are capital intensive to build and costly to maintain; 2)alination requires large amounts of power to force seawater through mem-nes to remove salt and other impurities; and 3) California environmentalistse a history of lawsuits, endless Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) and

position to permits, claiming that desalination destroys the Pacific ecosystem.

ata Barbara Desaliatio Platn 1992, the City of Santa Barbara, in partnership with Montecito Watertrict, Goleta Water District and the private contractor, Ionics, Inc., had the

esight to build a $34-million reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant at 525t Yanonali Street, capable of producing 7,500 acre feet (AF) of water per year.ue to abundant rainfall in 1991-93 and the lower cost of water from otherilable sources, the Santa Barbara desalination plant was placed on a standbyde after a 4-month operating test. Over the next five years, the three waterricts paid off the construction costs. Remarkably, given the communitysironmental sensitivity, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified

May 1994; city permitting was approved in December 1995; and Californiaastal Commission approval came in October 1996.n 1997, Montecito and Goleta opted out of the project, and just over half ofpre-filtration capacity and reverse osmosis treatment modules were sold.

y maintenance costs were reduced from $600,000 to $100,000 a year whileacity was cut to 3,125 AF. Currently, desalination is viewed by the City ofta Barbara Water Resources as an emergency drought supply backup, rathern a planned source of water. The good news is that the site exists, permits are

place and basic plant design, engineering and construction costs have beenended, lowering future costs.n estimated expenditure of $17 to $20 million would be needed for a

month-to-2-year reactivation of the Charles Meyer Desalination facility inta Barbara, during which time new state-of-the-art membranes and other

mponents could be installed. The cost of water would be competitive withrent State Water Project (SWP) costs of $1,680 per AF (Fixed costs of $1,482AF, plus treatment costs of $199 per AF).

arlsbad Desaliatio Project desalination plant in Carlsbad, 35 miles north of San Diego, is being builtupply San Diego County with some 56,000 AF of water per year (50 mil-

n gallons per day). When fully operational in 2016, it will become the largestwater desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. Poseidon Resourcesa privately-held company based in Stamford, Connecticut, began talks with

er agencies in San Diego County in 1998. The $954 million cost is beinganced with $781 million in tax exempt construction bonds, with the balanceming from private investors who anticipate a return of 12-13%.

Prolific author Robert Eringerhas just come out with his latestnovel,Montecito Madness.

Robert, 58, who is in a long-runninglegal battle royal with Prince Albert ofMonaco over monies owed as the jet setprincipalitys spymaster, says his new-est book is a wicked, unny look at theunderside o our rareied enclave.

I wanted to immortalize the spirit obarlies in the area. Its a colorul, dare Isay, luid account!

o protect the identities o the eclecticcast o characters, Robert has used nick-names and pseudonyms.

Ive disguised them a little, but every-one in the book does exist.

Hanging out at the old Piatti inthe Upper Village, I cultivated a livingsoap opera o characters and chronicledtheir anecdotal vignettes in my SurrealBounce blog under the moniker PiattiCrockpot. his evolved into a pictorialessay o Piattis last month, celebratingand lamenting the demise o what hadbecome a real-lie Cheers.

Unortunately, things devolved aterthat... particularly with the histrionics oan elderly member o the old Piatti Gang.

With this tragic turn, I now had thebeginning, middle and an end a rame-work in which to house the vignettes Idalready penned. he result is a breezy readwith zest, brio and much comedy.

he cover painting, by local artistThomas Van Stein, captures the bar othe Montecito Inn, to which many o usdeected. It is ull o symbolism rom thebook, starting with Van Stein and myselperched at a table in the bar.

Now, as I recently reported in thisillustrious organ, Robert has bought abar o his own, which he has renamedBoHenrys.

s readers of the MontecitoJournal know, several peoplein our town are supporting

orts to build the Sentinel space tele-pe, which will detect dangerousar-Earth Asteroids before they hitth. If they are found in time theylikely be deflected potentially sav-enormous numbers of lives and

ensive property damage.he risk of asteroids hitting theth may seem rather academic until

u meet one face-to-face. With thismind, Ed Lu, former NASA astro-t and CEO of the Sentinel project,anized a visit to the famous Meteorter near Flagstaff, Arizona.eople flew in from all over the

stern states. No less than threevate airplanes went from Santabara, piloted by John Goerke,orge Powell, Edwin Sahakian &

John Friedman, fifteen people in all.Because the Crater is young in geo-

logical terms 50,000 years old and

in arid desert, it has suffered little ero-sion by rain and is the best preservedof its kind in the world. The public isonly allowed to walk around the rim

but Ed made special arrangementsto hike to the bottom. This certainlymade everyone realize its enormoussize, not necessarily apparent frompictures or even from standing onthe rim. It is both spectacular, and forthose with even the least imagination,unsettling. This rent in the Earth is4,000 feet across and almost 600 feetdeep. Yet the rock that tore it out in

just a few seconds was a mere 150 feet

across! And of course, when it struck,every living thing for miles aroundwould have been instantly destroyed

by the heat, shockwaves and hun-

dreds of millions of tons of flyingrocks and debris.

For anyone who might have doubt-ed the potential risk from asteroids,hiking to the bottom made the dangerof an impact dramatically apparent.

Charles Lindbergh, describinghis love of flying with the wordsScience, freedom, beauty, adventure:what more could you ask of life? Hewould have certainly felt it about thisextraordinary day. Sentinel is science.Private airplanes gave the freedom,with an early start, to make the jour-ney in a day. Beauty on all sides, eventhe stark desert is beautiful. And asplash of adventure.

2012 Water Conservation Report:The Districts Conservation

Specialist, Mike Clark, performed atotal of 75 landscape audits. The land-scape audits conducted were all forsingle-family residential customers.

Of the 75 audits, 49 showing themost improvement in water con-servation, were tracked throughoutthe year. In addition to tracking the49 accounts in 2012, several of the

accounts audited in 2011 continuedto be reviewed monthly. The monthlytracking of an accounts water usageprovides valuable information on thecombined efforts of the District andproperty owner to control water usageand provides a quantitative measureof water conservation. The estimat-ed total water savings on the 2012tracked accounts is shown below:

Total savings in hcf: 14,133Total savings in af: 32.45For comparison, total savings for

2011 were 13,325 hcf (30.5 acre feet).In review of the 75 conducted

audits, the majority of high waterusage problems were due to outsideirrigation overwatering and improp-erly set irrigation controllers. Otherlesser water loss problems were forservice line breaks and in-house fix-ture leaks (running toilets and otherfixture problems).

Typically, the District found thatthe controller water index was set toohigh. The controller watering index,

based on weather conditions, estab-lishes a percentage for the irrigationcontroller, with 100% representinga dry summer season. District staff

would review the operation of theirrigation controller with the prop-erty owner and provide instructionson how to properly set the wateringindex. The property owner was alsoinstructed to look up the weeklywatering index published online bysbwater.org. Changing of the control-ler water index on a weekly basisprovides for the most efficient wateruse and saving for landscaping.In addition to irrigation controllerinstruction, the property owner wasinstructed on leak detection using the

VILLAGE BEATP

Teth AiversaryCelebratio

Village Beatby Kelly Mahan

Wednesday, May 22, theMontecito PlanningCommission (MPC) and

Montecito Board of ArchitecturalReview (MBAR) will be honored ata brief reception during the regu-larly scheduled MPC hearing. A timecertain event, the small 11:30 am cer-emony will acknowledge the tenthanniversary of both entities, whichformed in 2003.

MPC and MBAR were formed10 years after an attempt to annexMontecito as its own city. At that time,Montecito land use issues were heard

by the Santa Barbara County PlanningCommission, and many Montecitoresidents felt our community would

be better served with a separate plan-ning commission and architectural

review board solely for Montecito.Bob Meghreblian and other instru-mental Montecito residents formed agroup to look into the idea, and afterconsulting with then First DistrictSupervisor Naomi Schwartz and herstaff, the Board of Supervisors grantedapproval for a Montecito PlanningCommission and Montecito Board ofArchitectural Review for a two-yeartrial period.

Since then MPC and MBAR havehelped shape the village feel ofMontecito, ensuring projects and

builders adhere to the Montecito

Community Plan. The establish-ment of MPC/MBAR ensures thatMontecito projects are looked at bytwo groups of Montecito-minded peo-ple, who understand and implementthe Community Plan.

First District Supervisor SaludCarbajal will provide welcom-ing remarks, and both current and

past MPC and MBAR pawill be recognized for theservice. A brief history of thwhich held the first meetings2003, will be included as pMPC agenda presentation.

A light refreshment recepbe held on the Planning Copatio following the close ofmeeting. For more informatact JAmy Brown at j.amatt.net.

questionable quality: lab tests used toverify water quality as generally usedthroughout industry are antiquated.Thus, pathogens and antibiotic resis-tant genes as now found in many of thenations water sources are not noted inor by these old tests. Those tests, ifyou go to Google are called the MPNfor Most Probable Number. These testsuse an indicator bacterium, usuallya coliform, and that test requires anactively growing culture. But many ofthe bacteria found in water can residein a stunted or non-growing phaseand thus are not counted in thesetypes of tests. Additionally, many ofthe newer emerging pathogens andtheir genes are not picked up by theseantiquated standard tests. Thus onecan read a false negative for a perhapsvery contaminated water supply, asupply that can be legally delivered,

based on standard test passage but atthe same time one that could causeserious disease. The regulatory com-munity is well aware of this but likemost regulators, that community isclientele-captured by the very industry

it was established to regulate.This problem is especially egregious

where treated sewage discharge ismixed with that water. This mixing ofsewage and surface water happens allalong the Sacramento River, its tributar-ies, and the Delta because cities dumptheir sewage effluents into those sur-face water sources. That water is whatis sent down to us through the StateWater Project systems. The US EPA iswell aware of this sewage contamina-tion but is also clientele-captured.

In the late 1970s, the US EPAsWastewater Research Division,

Municipal Environmental ResearchLaboratory, Cincinnati, Ohio docu-mented that the sewer plant dischargeto the nations rivers and lakes was aprincipal source of antibiotic resistantpathogen release. Note to the carefulreader, this study also shows that UV

disinfection actually boosts the capac-ity of antibiotic resistant organisms tosurvive. A colleague doing research inthis area also noted that UV, while itmay kill the host bacteria does noth-ing to the underlying genes, whichare thus available to other bacteria.Chlorine, as applied as a disinfectantto water also has little impact on thesegenes. Thus, the two principal ways wedisinfect our water do an exceedinglypoor job when it comes to bacterialand other pathogenic genes. As to thisstudy by EPA, in the interest of politics,it is believed that the EPA removed allrecords of that study from its data baseand to this day is reluctant to discussthis topic. This sequestering of infor-mation then not only impacts the statewater quality regulators but substan-tially retards the research into newersewer plants, thus any improvement ofthe failing infrastructure.

VBNCs RampantWhen, however, we talk about these

old standard water quality tests, it isimportant to remember that there are

typically two states of bacterial growththat are missed by these antiquatedstandard test. Persisters, are a groupof bacteria not well recorded by thesestandard tests and thus because thesetests can not see those persisters, theresults under-report actual numbersof contained bacteria, i.e., a false nega-tive. Persisters are a class of dormantcells that can survive the disinfectionor antimicrobial treatments that kill themajority of their genetically identicalsiblings. Persisters are capable of enter-ing a non- or extremely slow-grow-ing physiological state, which makes

them insensitive (refractory or toler-ant) to the action of disinfectants ofantimicrobial drugs. This also shieldsthem from the standard water qual-ity tests. Persisters are also difficultfor the immune system to eliminate.They become a reservoir for the slowlysmoldering infections that are oftenseen post surgery: infections that arerefractory to treatment. Thus theseinfections often see the need for remov-ing implanted prosthetic devices, andopening yet again, the split chest bonefollowing open heart surgery. Chronicinfections can affect people of any age,

health, or immune status.The second general state of bacteriathat are missed by the typically usedwater quality tests are bacteria that arein a Viable But Non Culturable (VBNC)state. These bacteria cannot grow in thestandard culture media employed inthe typically used water quality tests.Bacteria enter the VBNC state as aresponse to stress, and stress is caused

by adverse conditions. VBNC bacteriacan remain in that state for over a yearand may form within biofilms thatare found in water pipes. It has beenshown that numerous pathogens and

non-pathogens can enter the VBNC

state, and therefore this has simplications in both water qupathogenesis. Tests done o

byproducts showed that wheout of the VBNC state, the aresults had under reported several magnitudes.

stal branch of the State Water Project (SWP), and its budget-breaking com-ion, Governor Jerry Browns proposed Twin Tunnels Project.here are some 15,000 desalination plants operating worldwide, producing

me 60 million cubic meters of water per day, according to the Internationalalination Association. In areas of low permitting costs, like South Padrend in Texas and Tampa, Florida, costs of water per acre feet are estimated

be as low as $700 to $1,400 per AF. According to the Surfrider Foundation,roposed seawater desalination facility in Huntington Beach will producealinated water at a cost of $1,500 per AF, plus another $90 to $140 per AF forveyance and delivery.

Seawater Desaliatio Plats Reduce Their Costs?n March 2013, John B. Stetson, Jr., Senior Technical Fellow at Lockheedrtin Corp, announced the discovery of a new, vastly cheaper filtration mate-known as Perforene, made up of sheets of graphene with holes of about aometer (a billionth of a meter) in size, large enough to pass water through,small enough to block the ions of salt in seawater.ecause the sheets of graphene are so thin one carbon atom in thickness ites much less energy to push the seawater through the filter with the forceded to separate the salt from the seawater. According to Stetson, The newmbranes in the Perforene filters are 500 times thinner than the best filter onmarket today, and a thousand times stronger. The energy and the pressure

ts required to filter salt is approximately one hundred times less than thergy used by current filters. Lockheed Martin plans to have a working pro-

ype available by the end of 2013 as a drop-in replacement for filters using theerse osmosis process. novel approach to further reduce desalination costs at a reconstituted Santabara desalination facility would be to allow a slant-drilling permit for natu-

gas extraction in the Santa Barbara Channel, in return for the natural gasplier providing free natural gas to power the desalination plant, as well

paying some or all of the reactivation capital costs. This would have the twinefits of reducing both capital and operating costs, while lowering the cost ofcious water for all current and future users.

$481 million wont be paid off until 2035.Governor Browns Twin Tunnels Project is started prior to 2035, calling

the construction of two giant 35-mile water-diversion tunnels to re-route

thern California water from the Sacramento River under the Sacramento-Joaquin Delta to southern California, MWD would be saddled with even

re costs. The result would be a non-negotiable, payment of its share of anmated $24 to $64 billion in added Twin Tunnels cost, according to Dick

hat We Ca DoWP costs are rising at the same time that desalination costs may be falling. currently proposed 55% increase in water rates for MWD customers overnext five years, does not fund any additional Twin Tunnels debt, nor anyer needs in excess of 5,200 AF per year. The threat of drought and depletedundwater aquifers, increases the need for a reliable and locally controlledlacement source of new water. It would be imprudent for our water agen-not to talk to Ionics, IDE Technologies, Poseidon Resources and Lockheed

rtin to accurately estimate future cost for desalination water versus theected costs and reliability of SWP water.partnership of local water agencies should contact Lockheed Martin to offer

currently mothballed Charles Meyer Desalination facility in Santa Barbara asst-bed site for the installation of Lockheed Martins new Perforene filters. They of Santa Barbara Water Resources Department should ask for state and federalearch funding, plus engineering research support services from the UniversityCalifornia Santa Barbara to restart the Santa Barbara desalination plant.

would also behoove we who are at risk of unending and even arbitrary pay-nts to SWP to contact and contract with an aggressive local lawyer who isdy, able, and willing to take on the powerful forces behind the Twin Tunnelsject and get Montecito and Santa Barbara out of it before it is too late.s time to discover whether desalination can be made to work at an afford-e cost, or whether we should remain at the mercy of SWP to pay for what-r it is the state agency finally ends up spending for its grand and what
