INTRODUCTION The Orange County Water District (OCWD; the District) works to influence legislation and funding in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. to ensure the Orange County Groundwater Basin is protected and supports a reliable, affordable and safe water supply for the 2.5 million people that it serves. OCWD maintains an active presence in the government arena to forge and maintain long-term, positive and proactive relationships with legislative offices, support water supplies from the State Water Project and Colorado River, to expand water reuse, enable the development of new water supplies, expand the use of new technologies, and to promote water conservation. Purpose of Legislative Platform OCWD’s legislative platform reflects policy positions adopted by the OCWD Board of Directors (the Board) in 2020. Legislation of interest to the District is brought before the Board’s Communication and Legislative Affairs Committee (Comm/Leg) for consideration. It is also the primary committee in which the staff recommends action on bills. Additionally, ideas for new legislation are presented to the Board for action when the District or other water agencies and associations are seeking sponsorship of a bill. Recommended action items from the Comm/Leg Committee then go to the full Board at the next available Board meeting. However, during the legislative session, the timing of votes on a bill and/or deadlines to draft legislation may not coincide with the Comm/Leg Committee meeting schedule for formal Board positions on a particular bill. Legislation that needs to be acted upon in between Board meetings will be taken to the Board President and General Manager for guidance in advance of any position being taken by staff or District legislative advocates. This legislative platform provides guidance to the Board President and General Manager when they evaluate proposed legislation that may affect the District, its local water suppliers or regional water management. Legislation that meets or fails to meet the principles set forth in the platform may be supported or opposed accordingly. Pending approval by the Board President and General Manager, the platform also allows staff and the District’s legislative advocates to act in a timely fashion in between Board meetings on issues that are clearly within the legislative platform. Such actions are then reported to the Board at the next available monthly Comm/ Leg Committee meeting or Board meeting. The 2021 - 2022 legislative platform is a summary of District goals, key issues and policy positions. The following legislative policies have been developed by District staff and legislative advocates with input from local water suppliers. These Board-approved policies serve as the District’s official positions of support or opposition on issues of importance to the agency. The legislative platform is a dynamic document, which will be adopted annually and updated as needed to meet the needs of the District. The legislative team, in conjunction with the Board, may take appropriate action consistent with the legislative platform, including, but not limited to, drafting letters, lobbying legislators and staff, engaging in legislative work groups, and drafting bills.

ABOUT OCWD Background The mission of the Orange County Water District is to provide the 19 cities and water districts it serves with reliable, high-quality water at the lowest reasonable cost in an environmentally responsible manner. OCWD is a special district formed in 1933 by an act of the California State Legislature. The District was created to protect Orange County’s rights to Santa Ana River (SAR) water and to manage the vast Orange County Groundwater Basin that underlies north and central Orange County. OCWD is governed by a 10-member Board of Directors, seven are elected and three are appointed. Advancing Groundwater Sustainability The Orange County Groundwater Basin is a large underground aquifer. Through OCWD’s careful management of it for more than 85 years, the basin provides 77% of the water supply for 2.5 million people in north and central Orange County. Over the years, OCWD’s sound planning and appropriate investments, including improvements to OCWD facilities, innovative water supply projects, contamination clean-up projects, and a proactive water quality monitoring program, have more than doubled its output of water. A leader in water reuse, OCWD operates the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS), a joint project with the Orange County Sanitation District and the world’s largest of its kind. Producing 100 million gallons of water a day (MGD), the GWRS supplies enough water for 850,000 people annually and is undergoing a 30-MGD expansion that will be completed in 2023 and will provide enough water for 1 million people. The initial 70-MGD GWRS project came online in 2008, followed by a 30-MGD expansion in 2015. The current expansion is the final phase of this project. GWRS water accounts for one-third of the water that is put into the basin and is vital to combat drought and increase water reliability for the region. The GWRS is a fiscally responsible project that produces water at a lower cost than imported water, while also using less energy. OCWD monitors the basin’s water quality to ensure water meets state and federal standards. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been detected in the Orange County Groundwater Basin and OCWD is leading the way in addressing PFAS in Orange County. PFAS are manmade, heat-resistant chemicals that were once commonly used in many consumer products to repel water, grease and oil and are prevalent in the environment. OCWD’s Philip L. Anthony Water Quality Laboratory became the first public agency laboratory in California to achieve state certification to analyze for PFAS in drinking water. In December 2019, OCWD implemented the nation’s largest pilot testing program to test treatment techniques to remove PFAS in groundwater and conducted a planning study to help the local water suppliers it serves determine how new treatment facilities could be rapidly implemented. ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT | OCWD.COM/PLATFORM 4
TAKING POSITIONS ON BILLS Procedure for Taking Positions on Bills 1. Staff and legislative advocates will track bills of greatest interest to OCWD, particularly those that fall within the goals and objectives identified by the Board of Directors. Staff will monitor bills being watched by similar agencies in Orange County as well as state, federal and national agencies and associations such as the California Special Districts Association (CSDA), National Association of California Water Agencies (NACWA), Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), WateReuse Association(WRA), and California Association of Municipal Water Companies (CalMutuals). 2. For those bills that are being tracked, where there is clear policy direction stated in the Board-adopted legislative platform, staff can send letters and give direction to its lobbyists to advocate. 3. When a bill does not fall within the scope of the legislative platform or is a politically controversial issue, but if a position may be needed before the next scheduled Comm/Leg Committee meeting or Board meeting, staff will seek direction from the Board President and General Manager. 4. If a bill does not fall within the scope of the legislative platform, but an association such as ACWA or WRA has adopted a position, and timing is critical, staff will inform the Board President and General Manager about the organization’s position to seek approval to follow the organizations’ position, but staff must inform the Comm/ Leg Committee of such action at the next regularly scheduled meeting. 5. All bills that are of potential interest or concern to the District are monitored by staff and legislative advocates, as reflected on the monthly bill matrix provided to the Board. If any of those measures are amended, they are re-evaluated to determine if a formal position should be recommended for Board consideration. ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT | OCWD.COM/PLATFORM 5

ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT | OCWD.COM/PLATFORM 10LEGISLATIVE POLICIES
Water Supply
• Support legislation that adds to the reliability and security of water supplies to Orange County.
• Protect the quality of surface and groundwater and support entities to meet state and federal water quality
standards.
• Encourage water conservation and climate-based landscape development, where appropriate.
• Expand water recycling, potable reuse, groundwater recharge, storage, brackish and ocean water
desalination, and surface water development.
• Allow for local governmental agencies to provide input to statewide water resource planning decisions.
• Encourage and facilitate voluntary water transfers.
• Support water storage and exchange/transfer programs where the primary benefits occur to OCWD, its local
water suppliers and the ratepayers they serve.
• Engage on legislation and regulatory actions related to constituents of emerging concern that ensures
continued access to a safe and reliable drinking water supplies with regulation of constituents of emerging
concerns based on sound, peer-reviewed science.
• Advocate for state and federal policies to manage salinity in water supplies available to the District, including
the Santa Ana River and imported water supplies.
Groundwater
• Legislation should not interfere with the authority of governance of adjudicated and special act non-
adjudicated basins.
• Existing laws and court/agency decisions that effectively govern groundwater production and recharge
should not be disturbed. The rights of parties to take water pursuant to prior court decisions, decisions of the
State Water Resources Control Board (the State Board) or inter-agency agreements must be protected, and
existing legal obligations imposed on parties should remain enforceable.
• Support legislation and programmatic reforms that expedites the appropriate and applicable use of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and/or leads to the
clean-up of toxic chemical contamination in groundwater.
• Existing groundwater basin management boundaries created through statute or court decision should not
be modified and new groundwater management areas should not be carved out of existing groundwater
management plan areas without the approval of the affected groundwater management agenc(ies). Similarly,
where a statute or a court decree has authorized an entity to manage a groundwater basin, legislation should
not create or empower other local entities with duplicative or overlapping authority.
• Local agencies are in the best position to implement sustainable groundwater management. Groundwater
management can best be accomplished at the local level by agencies that have the technical expertise and
existing or newly-granted authority to ensure aquifer health is maintained and competing uses balanced.
• Any definition of sustainable groundwater management should allow groundwater managers, including
OCWD, sufficient flexibility to manage groundwater, recognizing the following:
ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT | OCWD.COM/PLATFORM 11LEGISLATIVE POLICIES (CONT.)
• Sustainability varies as a function of local hydrogeologic conditions, water supply availability, and
historic groundwater utilization.
• Sustainable groundwater management can include periods when groundwater withdrawals exceed
recharge if it causes no long-term negative impacts and there is a commitment to balance pumping
over time with natural or artificial replenishment.
• Managed aquifer recharge is a key tool that allows for sustainable groundwater management. As such,
groundwater recharge should be recognized as a beneficial use of the water supplies of the state.
• Monitor activities related to Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and will take a position as
appropriate.
Recycled Water
• Recognize that recycled/reused water is a resource.
• Authorize local government agencies to regulate the discharge of contaminants to the sewer collection
system that may adversely affect water recycling and reuse.
• Reduce regulatory burdens on water recycling and brackish or ocean water desalination projects.
• Authorize, promote and provide incentives for potable reuse projects.
• Support funding for research needed by the State Water Resources Control Board to be able to develop
direct potable reuse regulations.
• Support the expansion of recycled/reused water for potable and non-potable purposes without the use of
ocean discharge prohibitions or percentage reuse mandates.
Stormwater
• Support stormwater capture projects that are cost-effective.
• Support policies, programs and projects that enhance stormwater capture, sediment management, water
conservation, and ecosystem restoration.
• Support adequate state and federal funding to increase understanding and prediction of atmospheric rivers
that provide most of California’s precipitation.
• Support adequate state and federal funding for development of Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations
(FIRO) and modifications to dam water control manuals to incorporate FIRO to increase water supplies to
Orange County.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)and per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS)
• Support development of a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA),
perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to be developed by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency.
• Support development of PFAS MCLs through a rigorous health-based, scientific approach that promotes
consistency across the nation.
ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT | OCWD.COM/PLATFORM 12LEGISLATIVE POLICIES (CONT.)
• Oppose legislation that sets PFAS MCLs without following sound regulatory processes with stakeholder
input.
• Advocate for state and federal funding to ensure that adequate funds are available to address costs
associated with PFAS monitoring, research and potential groundwater treatment by OCWD and local water
suppliers.
• Advocate to exempt water and wastewater entities for any liability for PFAS clean-up costs if PFAS is listed
under CERCLA as a hazardous waste. A water utility that properly disposes of residuals containing PFAS, in a
manner consistent with applicable laws, must not be held liable for current and future costs associated with
PFAS cleanup.
Imported Water Supply
• Support administrative/legislative action and state funding to keep the California WaterFix on schedule
to advance conveyance and ecosystem improvements to help achieve the coequal goals of water supply
reliability and Delta ecosystem restoration.
• Support the California WaterFix and EcoRestore and projects that facilitate delivery of high-quality water from
the Bay-Delta and the Colorado River.
• Support projects that enhance the Bay-Delta’s ecological health, while employing sound scientific research
and ensuring that costs of such projects are shared equitably among beneficiaries.
• Oppose projects that would reduce water reliability or would increase the cost of imported water without
improving reliability or quality. Also, oppose any water fee that does not fund water supply improvements in
the Delta.
Greywater
• Any state greywater policy should encourage generating new water supplies for the state. Specifically,
• Avoid adding a new upstream greywater system that would significantly impact the current flows to the
Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) and waste capacity of OCWD’s existing or future GWRS
water recycling infrastructure.
• Encourage the State Water Resources Control Board’s greywater policy to be flexible enough to
consider local conditions where there is already an investment in water recycling facilities.
• Advocate that the State Board not develop a uniform statewide policy, but instead address local
conditions where extensive recycling is already occurring, and new greywater systems would lead to
the diverting of water that could be recycled for potable reuse projects.
Water Transfers
• Support voluntary water transfers and mitigating the impacts on the environment, aquifers, water rights
holders, and third parties to the transfer, including those with interests in the facilities being used.
• Oppose regulatory or procedural barriers to water transfers and legislation that interferes with the financial
integrity of a water utility or compromises water quality.

• Encourage energy efficiency through incentives, funding and other assistance to facilitate water use
efficiency partnerships with the energy sector, including wastewater programs.
• Support legislation and policies that encourage and incentivize energy storage and creates incentives for
demand response use by water districts.
• Seek available funding for water projects under existing programs for climate resiliency and/or climate
change response.
• Support legislation or regulations that facilitate the development or expansion of clean, renewable energy in
California if it does not significantly increase the cost of water.
Funding
Distribution of Bond Funds
• Support adequate funding to expand statewide and/or regional groundwater supplies, newly created water
supplies through water recycling/ reuse, brackish water and seawater desalination, stormwater capture, and
remediation of groundwater contamination.
• Support regional projects through the Integrated Regional Water Management Planning (IRWMP) process.
• Funding for any Delta restoration project shall support the co-equal goals of water supply reliability and
ecosystem restoration.
• Bond proceeds should be distributed to beneficial projects throughout the state in an equitable, balanced
and reasonable manner.
• Any water infrastructure financing measure should include specific criteria which must be met before a
project obtains funding. The specific criteria should include cost-effectiveness, a project proponent’s ability
to implement the project, specific timelines for project implementation, and a high-level of measurable
benefit.
• Bond proceeds should be leveraged to the maximum extent possible utilizing local or federal matching funds.
Projects funded with a higher percentage of non-state funds should be given priority.
• The allocation of bond funds should be handled with minimal bond administration costs.
Water Infrastructure Financing and Project Funding
• Support establishing grants or other funding opportunities for local and regional water infrastructure projects
and support programs that reduce the cost of financing water infrastructure planning and construction,
