Re: Notice regarding Application No. 30696 Submitted by the City of San Juan
Capistrano
Dear State Water Resources Control Board,
The City of San Juan Capistrano (“City”) and the Santa Margarita Water District
(“SMWD”) send this letter to provide additional information regarding Application No.
30696 submitted by the City to the State Water Resources Control Board (“State Board”).
Pursuant to Application No. 30696, the City claims the right to extract water from the
San Juan Basin as a result of the City’s predecessors’ diversion of water for the
reasonable and beneficial uses of the inhabitants of the community since at least 1776,
the date of the founding of the Mission of San Juan Capistrano (“Pueblo Right”). Section
10 of Application No. 30696 describes the City’s existing water rights. This letter
provides the following clarification to the State Board regarding Application No. 30696:
• The water rights described in Section 10 of Application No. 30696 do not include
the claimed right to return flow from imported water, but does include the City’s
claim of a pre-1914 appropriative right to extract water from the San Juan Basin
(“Pre-1914 Appropriative Right”).
This letter further serves to notify the State Board that the City has (1) designated
SMWD the City’s exclusive agent and trustee for the exercise of the Pueblo Right and (2)
assigned the City’s Pre-1914 Appropriative Right to SMWD. Since SMWD has been
designated as the City’s exclusive agent and trustee for the exercise of the Pueblo Right
and the City’s Pre-1914 Appropriative Right has been assigned by the City to SMWD,
SMWD is now a co-applicant on Application No. 30696.
Sincerely,
John Taylor Charles T. Gibson
Mayor President of Board of Directors

Re: Notice regarding Permit No. 21074
Dear State Water Resources Control Board,
The City of San Juan Capistrano (“City”) sends this letter to the State Water
Resources Control Board (“State Board”) to provide additional information regarding
Permit No. 21074 (“Permit”) owned by the San Juan Basin Authority (“Authority”).
Section 7 of the Permit states that the allocation of the available water resources under
the Permit are governed by private agreements among the parties to the Authority dated
November 21, 1995 and March 1, 1998, and by their joint letter dated March 13, 1998
(collectively, the “Agreements”). The Agreements led to the creation of the 2002 Project
Implementation Agreement among the parties to the Authority, whereby the City
obtained an allocated interest of 5,800 acre-feet per year of the water rights established
by Permit No. 21074.
The City hereby notifies the State Board that it has assigned to the Santa
Margarita Water District all of its rights, title, interest, duties and obligations in and to the
2002 Project Implementation Agreement, including the City’s allocated interest of 5,800
acre-feet per year of the water rights established by Permit No. 21074.
Sincerely,
John Taylor
Mayor
City of San Juan Capistrano
