32400 Paseo Adelanto
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
Re: Proposal to Install, Develop and Conduct a Production Test of Two Pilot Test
Wells that will be used for Design of Production Wells for the City of San Juan
Capistrano, California.
Dear Mr. Bauman:
Psomas is pleased to submit this proposal to install, develop and conduct a production test of
two pilot wells in the City of San Juan Capistrano (CSJC), California. This proposal is based
on your e-mail dated August 30, 2006 requesting test borings at the Ricardo and North Cooks
well sites. In addition, CSJC requested a potential yield evaluation for two other sites
referred to as MW-07 and South Cooks well sites.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to enhance groundwater production in the lower San Juan Creek groundwater
basin, the CSJC is seeking suitable sites to expand existing production. Two potential sites
have been selected and include a location near existing San Juan Basin Authority (SJBA)
monitoring well MW-07 referred to as the Ricardo Well site and another well located near
existing SJBA monitoring well MW-04. Psomas' understanding is that the CSJC wishes to
develop test borings in these areas to evaluate the suitability of these sites for a full size
production wells. In addition, the CSJC wishes to evaluate other sites in proximity to the
existing SJBA monitoring wells (MW-07 & MW-04) to assess if these locations could be
used as alternative production well locations.
APPROACH
Psomas has evaluated the existing conditions at each of these sites and preliminary
indications are that high production zones may be present. However, the high production
zones typically include high permeability zones composed of gravels, cobbles and boulders
that create difficult drilling conditions for most conventional drilling technologies.

Proposal to Install, Develop and Conduct a Production Page 2 of 7
Test of Two Pilot Test Wells for City of San Juan Capistrano September 20, 2006
Most drilling technologies that are capable of advancing in these types of conditions typically
use drilling fluids composed of bentonite. The use of bentonite generally requires extended
development time to remove the drilling fluids in order to assess the true production
capability of the zone being evaluated. Psomas proposes to advance the borings using an
advanced drilling technology that does not use a circulating medium and can penetrate
gravels, cobbles and boulders. The technique, RotaSonic, employs a high frequency
vibration to the drilling shoe to advance an 8 to 10-inch casing. A continuous core of soil is
extracted as the casing is advanced providing a good understanding of the geology and
corresponding production capability of each zone encountered as the boring is progressed.
Upon reaching the desired depth (bedrock), the boring can be abandoned or can be completed
as a pilot test well to conduct further evaluations. Psomas proposes to complete the two test
borings into 4 to 5-inch diameter pilot test wells and conduct a single well aquifer test using a
submersible pump. Preliminary estimates (using a transmissivity of 45,000 gpd/ft) indicate
that a 4 to 5-inch pilot test well would be capable of 100 gpm and should experience a
drawdown of approximately 1-2 feet over a four hour test period (assuming a fully
penetrating aquifer).
The tests can be evaluated and calculations can be made concerning full scale production
wells including anticipated drawdown and production rate. If the location is selected for a
full scale production well, the pilot well could be used as a monitoring well during
development and testing of the full scale production well.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 —Well Permits and Mobilization
Psomas will obtain well permits from the Orange County Environmental Health for the
installation of the pilot test wells. The proposed well locations will be marked and Psomas
will notify Underground Service Alert (USA) at least 48 hours prior to drilling.
Task 2— Well Installation and Development
Psomas proposes to advance and install two pilot test wells at the locations indicated in
Figures 1 & 2. The wells will be advanced using a truck-mounted Rota-Sonic drill rig.
Formation samples will be collected continuously for purposes of describing the local soils
and geology and will be logged in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.
PSOMAS
Proposal to Install, Develop and Conduct a Production Page 3 of 7
Test of Two Pilot Test Wells for City of San Juan Capistrano September 20, 2006
Pilot Test Wells will be constructed based on the following criteria:
Ricardo Test Well
• 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC flush-threaded casing
• 40 feet of 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC screen with 0.02 slot (actual slot
size will be evaluated at the time of well completion)
• Flush mount completion in a traffic-rated well box
North Cook Test Well
• 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC flush-threaded casing
• 40 feet of 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC screen with 0.02 slot (actual slot
size will be evaluated at the time of well completion)
• Flush mount completion in a traffic-rated well box
The newly installed pilot test wells will be developed immediately following installation. The
pilot test wells will be developed by a combination of bailing, swabbing, airlifting and/or
purging with an electric submersible pump. Development will continue until field parameters
stabilize (less than 10% change from previous reading) and the discharge is visually free of
suspended solids or 3 hours of development, which ever occurs first. During well
development procedures, groundwater field parameters consisting of pH, electrical
conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) and turbidity
will be monitored with field instruments.
Task 3—Aquifer Test
Psomas proposes to conduct a single well aquifer test on each of the pilot test wells.
Preliminary calculations indicate that at a production rate of 100 gpm and a transmissivity of
45,000 gpd/ft, the pilot test well should indicate a 1-2 feet decline over approximately 4
hours. Depending on the rate of decline and the ultimate decline, a transmissivity for the
underlying production zone can be approximated. The results coupled with the geology and
depth to bedrock can be used to assess the production rate and preliminary design of a full
scale production well.
In addition, Psomas will collect a water sample during the aquifer test to assess the general
water quality characteristics of the water produced during the aquifer test. Table 1 present a
list of the proposed parameters/constituents and analytical method to be performed on the
water sample collected from each well.

design and expected production capacity of a full scale production well will be assessed from
the data collected.
In addition, Psomas will evaluate the existing reports for wells MW-7 and MW-4 to assess
the viability of these locations for production wells.
Task 5 — Pilot Well Test Report
Following completion and analysis of the aquifer test on each of the Pilot Test wells, a report
will be prepared that presents the methodologies employed and results of the installation and
testing of the Pilot Test wells. The report will include boring logs, testing procedures and
results, and a summary of the expected production capacity of a full scale production well at
an adjacent location. In addition, the report will include a preliminary design and expected

AGENDA REPORT D4
TO: Dave Adams, City Manager QVI
FROM: John W. Elwell, Interim Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of Agreement for the Assessment of Additional Ground
Water Recovery Plant Well Sites (PSOMAS) (CIP# 758)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, approve an agreement for the assessment of additional Ground Water
Recovery Plant well sites with PSOMAS in the amount of $90,300; and authorize the
Mayor to execute the agreement.
SITUATION:
Since mid August 2006, the production at the Ground Water Recovery Plant (GRWP)
has been cut from 5.14 MGD (million gallons per day) to 2.57 MGD due to a reduction in
the amount of well water. The public is not affected by the reduced production since the
system has import capacity to replace it. This occurrence is primarily caused because
the concentration of wells is within a close area, which seems to draw down the water
level more than was projected. While the San Juan Groundwater Basin (the 'Basin")
continues to have water, the area where the wells are located has problems maintaining
water levels sufficient to meet the full demand in the late summer. When the water level
becomes too low, then air is entrained in the water. Entrained air causes iron to
precipitate and foul the reverse osmosis membranes.
The plant operators, ECO Resources Inc. (ECO), reduced production at the GWRP to
match the plant capacities and the currently available groundwater yields. ECO then
began a process of well cleaning and re-habilitation of its wells. This process will
increase production, but analysis of the groundwater table in the vicinity of four of the
GWRP wells located in or near the Village Alipaz development indicates a localized
depression in the Basin. The two wells outside of this area have experienced a drop in
pumping levels but still remain productive. Experience with the GWRP wells and the
Basin is limited, but indicates that production should pick up after the first recharging
rains starting in December 2006, allowing the GWRP to meet its annual production goal
of 4,800 acre-feet per year. However, to avoid future summer time production shortfalls
in the long-term, well productivity must be increased.
The hydrogeologist for the San Juan Basin Authority (SJBA), PSOMAS, believes that
the Basin has water and that the GWRP is experiencing a localized depletion of the
Agenda Report • 0 November 21, 2006
Page 2
Basin that can be mitigated by spreading the demand from the Basin over a wider area,
resting the wells on a rotation basis, and continuing with an annual rehabilitation of the
wells. PSOMAS made a presentation on its analysis of the Basin at the September 26,
2006, Water Advisory Commission meeting. At this meeting, it was explained in detail
how it was concluded to increase the basin yield and to implement a program of well
resting and maintenance, and that the GWRP will need more wells than its current
complement of six wells.
The original project design called for a total of eight wells to operate the GRWP at full
capacity. During the well development stage, preliminary drilling at two of the well
locations did not yield sufficient water to justify full development. ECO proceeded with
six wells since the provisions of the Service Contract allowed ECO to do so if it had
sufficient water to run the GWRP. Since the Service Contract with ECO calls for eight
wells and they no longer meet the raw water demands of the GWRP, ECO is bound by
the performance specifications of the Service Contract to construct an additional two
wells. However, ECO will be entitled to additional compensation for any pipeline that
may be needed, plus some compensation for effort spent developing the two well sites
from the original Service Contract that were unsuitable for full development. Staff will
begin negotiations with ECO as soon as reasonably possible. Finalization of
negotiations with ECO requires the location of the new wells and a determination of
their yield.
Staff has solicited proposals from two firms familiar with the Basin, and the GWRP
project as a whole, to develop test wells and provide an estimate of well yields, along
with a recommendation of preferred sites from the four sites under consideration. The
proposals by the geotechnical consultants approach the evaluation of additional well
site yields with two different methodologies. PSOMAS has worked for the SJBA to
evaluate and monitor the amount of water in the basin and has produced annual reports
on the issue. PSOMAS proposes to develop two test wells to measure the specific
yield, the gallons per minute per foot of draw down of two of the sites, and use existing
soil classification logs in conjunction with the new specific yield test results to estimate
the potential production of the test well sites and adjacent well sites. PSOMAS
proposes to perform its work for $90,300. Geotechnical Consultants Inc. (GTC)
proposes to do four borings to classify the soil layers and use the soil classification and
comparative analysis for an estimate of the potential ranges of productivity of the well
sites. The GTC proposal will cost $38,000. GTC Inc. performed the 15 wells study for
the City and provided oversight during ECO's construction and development of the
GWRP wells.
The process of well site selection is always somewhat risky, and the more information
the staff has at hand, the probability of locating successful sites is enhanced. For this
reason, staff recommends the more conservative approach proposed by PSOMAS over
the method proposed by GTC, because the ability to actually have test flows will allow
for a better evaluation of pumping potential. In addition, each developed test well site
will be close enough to the second test site, allowing for each set of wells under
Agenda Report • November 21, 2006

consideration to provide a clear projection of the second site. The specific yield test is a
more reliable indicator of well productivity than comparative analysis.
The comparative analysis proposed by GTC requires a proximate well site with similar
geology, a properly conducted specific yield test, and good soils classification of the
sites. There is weakness in the data for both sets of the existing supplemental data for
a straight comparative analysis. The methodology of PSOMAS will resolve this issue.
COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Water Advisory Commission reviewed this item at its meeting of September 26,
2006, and recommends the selection of PSOMAS.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Re: Proposal to Install, Develop and Conduct a Production Test of Two Pilot Test
Wells that will be used for Design of Production Wells for the City of San Juan
Capistrano, California.
Dear Mr. Bauman:
Psomas is pleased to submit this proposal to install, develop and conduct a production test of
two pilot wells in the City of San Juan Capistrano (CSJC), California. This proposal is based
on your e-mail dated August 30, 2006 requesting test borings at the Ricardo and North Cooks
well sites. In addition, CSJC requested a potential yield evaluation for two other sites
referred to as MW-07 and South Cooks well sites.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to enhance groundwater production in the lower San Juan Creek groundwater
basin, the CSJC is seeking suitable sites to expand existing production. Two potential sites
have been selected and include a location near existing San Juan Basin Authority (SJBA)
monitoring well MW-07 referred to as the Ricardo Well site and another well located near
existing SJBA monitoring well MW-04. Psomas' understanding is that the CSJC wishes to
develop test borings in these areas to evaluate the suitability of these sites for a full size
production wells. In addition, the CSJC wishes to evaluate other sites in proximity to the
existing SJBA monitoring wells (MW-07 & MW-04) to assess if these locations could be
used as alternative production well locations.
APPROACH
Psomas has evaluated the existing conditions at each of these sites and preliminary
indications are that high production zones may be present. However, the high production
zones typically include high permeability zones composed of gravels, cobbles and boulders
that create difficult drilling conditions for most conventional drilling technologies.

PSOMAS
Proposal to Install, Develop and Conduct a Production Page 2 of 7
Test of Two Pilot Test Wells for City of San Juan Capistrano September 20, 2006
Most drilling technologies that are capable of advancing in these types of conditions typically
use drilling fluids composed of bentonite. The use of bentonite generally requires extended
development time to remove the drilling fluids in order to assess the true production
capability of the zone being evaluated. Psomas proposes to advance the borings using an
advanced drilling technology that does not use a circulating medium and can penetrate
gravels, cobbles and boulders. The technique, RotaSonic, employs a high frequency
vibration to the drilling shoe to advance an 8 to 10-inch casing. A continuous core of soil is
extracted as the casing is advanced providing a good understanding of the geology and
corresponding production capability of each zone encountered as the boring is progressed.
Upon reaching the desired depth (bedrock), the boring can be abandoned or can be completed
as a pilot test well to conduct further evaluations. Psomas proposes to complete the two test
borings into 4 to 5-inch diameter pilot test wells and conduct a single well aquifer test using a
submersible pump. Preliminary estimates (using a transmissivity of 45,000 gpd/ft) indicate
that a 4 to 5-inch pilot test well would be capable of 100 gpm and should experience a
drawdown of approximately 1-2 feet over a four hour test period (assuming a fully
penetrating aquifer).
The tests can be evaluated and calculations can be made concerning full scale production
wells including anticipated drawdown and production rate. If the location is selected for a
full scale production well, the pilot well could be used as a monitoring well during
development and testing of the full scale production well.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 —Well Permits and Mobilization
Psomas will obtain well permits from the Orange County Environmental Health for the
installation of the pilot test wells. The proposed well locations will be marked and Psomas
will notify Underground Service Alert (USA) at least 48 hours prior to drilling.
Task 2 — Well Installation and Development
Psomas proposes to advance and install two pilot test wells at the locations indicated in
Figures 1 & 2. The wells will be advanced using a truck-mounted Rota-Sonic drill rig.
Formation samples will be collected continuously for purposes of describing the local soils
and geology.and will be logged in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.

Proposal to Install, Develop and Conduct a Production Page 3 of 7
Test of Two Pilot Test Wells for City of San Juan Capistrano September 20, 2006
Pilot Test Wells will be constructed based on the following criteria:
Ricardo Test Well
• 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC flush-threaded casing
• 40 feet of 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC screen with 0.02 slot (actual slot
size will be evaluated at the time of well completion)
• Flush mount completion in a traffic-rated well box
North Cook Test Well
• 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC flush-threaded casing
• 40 feet of 4-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC screen with 0.02 slot (actual slot
size will be evaluated at the time of well completion)
• Flush mount completion in a traffic-rated well box
The newly installed pilot test wells will be developed immediately following installation. The
pilot test wells will be developed by a combination of bailing, swabbing, airlifting and/or
purging with an electric submersible pump. Development will continue until field parameters
stabilize (less than 10% change from previous reading) and the discharge is visually free of
suspended solids or 3 hours of development, which ever occurs first. During well
development procedures, groundwater field parameters consisting of pH, electrical
conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) and turbidity
will be monitored with field instruments.
Task 3—Aquifer Test
Psomas proposes to conduct a single well aquifer test on each of the pilot test wells.
Preliminary calculations indicate that at a production rate of 100 gpm and a transmissivity of
45,000 gpd/ft, the pilot test well should indicate a 1-2 feet decline over approximately 4
hours. Depending on the rate of decline and the ultimate decline, a transmissivity for the
underlying production zone can be approximated. The results coupled with the geology and
depth to bedrock can be used to assess the production rate and preliminary design of a full
scale production well.
In addition, Psomas will collect a water sample during the aquifer test to assess the general
water quality characteristics of the water produced during the aquifer test. Table 1 present a
list of the proposed parameters/constituents and analytical method to be performed on the
water sample collected from each well.

design and expected production capacity of a full scale production well will be assessed from
the data collected.
In addition, Psomas will evaluate the existing reports for wells MW-7 and MW-4 to assess
the viability of these locations for production wells.
Task 5 — Pilot Well Test Report
Following completion and analysis of the aquifer test on each of the Pilot Test wells, a report
will be prepared that presents the methodologies employed and results of the installation and
testing of the Pilot Test wells. The report will include boring logs, testing procedures and
results, and a summary of the expected production capacity of a full scale production well at
an adjacent location. In addition, the report will include a preliminary design and expected
