• On 6/3/2021 MHP owner contacted the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board inquiring about WWC. In 2021 the County conducted continuous site inspections for odor complaints and raw sewage releases straight to an on-site pond. In addition, effluent discharge is greater than 10,000 gpd, which requires Islander MHP to be permitted by the Central Valley Regional Water Board. However,facility WWTP improvements/upgrades will need to be done immediately to comply with recent Nitrate Control and CV Salts programs' requirements. Given the DAC status of the community(see 2022 Income Survey report),the facility owner is financially unable to perform any of the necessary upgrades and is seeking to consolidate with the nearby Oakwood Lake Water District (OLWD, sewer) and the City of Manteca (sewer and water). • On 02/01/2022 Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board staff(Dania Jimmerson) was assigned to the project and initiated WWC efforts on behalf of the MHP residents. • On 02/14/2022 1 contacted DFA, described the project, and inquired about the possibility of funding since the community was not listed as DAC at that point. • On 02/14/2022 1 contacted RCAC, described the project, and inquired about the possibility of RCAC assisting with an Income Survey,given that the background of the community indicated the MHI was not representative. RCAC was interested in the project and willing to help. • On 02/16/2022 1 met with the City of Manteca representatives and provided a brief overview of the Wastewater Consolidation (WWC) Program,the funding available, and the next steps regarding the potential Islander MHP WWC Project (septic-to-sewer). • On 02/17/2022 1 met with San Joquin County representatives to provide them with the outcome of the mtg with the City and their respective support and the next steps for the project. • On 03/1/2022 1 met with the Islander MHP owner and provided her a brief overview of the Wastewater Consolidation (WWC) Program,the funding available, and the next steps regarding the potential Islander MHP WWC Project(septic-to-sewer), especially the Income Survey as an essential component of the overall process. • On 03/15/2022 RCAC initiated the Income Survey Process which was completed on 10/28/2022 with DFA's approval of RCAC's Islander MHP MHI Survey Final Report (see attached). • On 11/6/2022 initiated coordination with SAFER staff, Brian Kidwell, and provided an overview of the project, the outcome of the recently completed Income Survey, and the fact that the community was also interested in Drinking Water Consolidation. Throughout the survey and after its completion, I have met on multiple occasions with the MHP owner, City, OLWD, San Joaquin County representatives, and SAFER staff to provide them with an update on the project and confirm their preliminary consensus to move forward with the project (see OLWD support's letter and City's and MHP owner Letters of Intent for WWC& DWC). 3
