SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION OF PAYMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON
IN THE AMOUNT OF $69,579.93 FOR UTILITY UPGRADES AT THE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOLAR
PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Public Works and Engineering Department
SUMMARY
This action will authorize payment to Southern California Edison ("SCE") in the amount
of $69,579.93 to upgrade the existing SCE transformer serving the City's Wastewater
Treatment Plant ("WWTP").
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize payment to Southern California Edison in the amount of $69,579.93 to
upgrade the existing SCE transformer serving the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant.
BACKGROUND:
On October 7, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution 23905 authorizing the City
Manager to enter into certain infrastructure financing agreements and associated
contracts with SolarCity Corporation for the design and construction of a 1,110.42 kW
solar PV system capable of initially producing a total of 2,442,616 kWh, which offsets
88% of the typical annual electric load at the WWTP of 2,773,670 kWh.
The layout for the WWTP Solar PV System is an array of ground-mount solar PV
modules as shown in Figure 1:

Agreements were subsequently executed with SolarCity Corporation, and final design
has been completed. As a part of the final design, coordination with SCE is required to
receive approval for an interconnection for the solar power generated by the system. In
its review of the solar interconnection, SCE has reviewed its existing utility
infrastructure, and determined that the existing 500 Wa electrical transformer will need
to upgraded to a larger 1000 Wa transformer so that the transformer size
accommodates the solar system size of 1,110 M

SCE has submitted a request for payment via Invoice #252904 in the amount of
$69,579.93 for costs associated to upgrade the existing transformer and related SCE
facilities. These utility upgrades were not a part of the scope of work being provided by
SolarCity Corporation. A copy of SCE's Invoice #252904 is included as Attachment 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Construction of the WWTP Solar PV System is considered a "Project" as defined by
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). Pursuant to Section 15378(a) of Title 14
of the California Code of Regulations, (the "CEQA Guidelines"), a "Project" means the
whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and that is (1) an activity directly undertaken by any public agency
including but not limited to public works construction and related activities, clearing or
grading of land, improvements to existing public structures, etc.
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for
Implementation of CEQA. The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of
projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment
and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the
Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant
effect on the environment, and are declared to be categorically exempt from the
requirement for the preparation of environmental documents.
The WWTP Solar PV System is proposed to be installed on 5 acres of currently vacant
land surrounding by urban uses located within the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant,
consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan
policies, applicable zoning designation and regulations, on a project site that has no
value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species, and would not result in
any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. Pursuant to
California Public Resources Code 21084, and Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines,
the WWTP Solar PV System is considered an "In-Fill Development Project," defined as
a Class 32 Categorical Exemption, and construction of the WWTP Solar PV System is
considered Categorically Exempt from CEQA. On October 7, 2015, the City Council
adopted Resolution No. 23905 approving and ordering the filing of a CEQA Notice of
Exemption for the WWTP Solar PV System.
FISCAL IMPACT:
All costs associated with the WWTP Solar PV System are budgeted from the
Wastewater Fund (Fund 420); sufficient funding is available in Account No. 420-6800-
57040 (Solar PV System).
