MINUTES of the REGULAR MEETING of the BOARD of DIRECTORS of SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

Tuesday, November 26, 2013, 2:00 P.M., Agency Board Room, 2310 Oro-Quincy Hwy., Oroville, California

DIRECTORS PRESENT: Jim Edwards, Lou Lodigiani, Jim Moll, Dennis Moreland and Steve

Onken. STAFF PRESENT: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager; Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager; Kathryn Zancanella, Power Division Manager; Dustin Cooper, Legal Counsel; Michael Glaze, General Manager. OTHERS PRESENT: None. CALL TO ORDER President Lodigiani called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m., and led the Pledge of Allegiance. APPROVAL OF MINUTES M/S/C (Moreland/Edwards) approving the Minutes of the regular meeting of October 23,

2013. APPROVAL OF WARRANTS M/S/C (Edwards/Onken) approving the total General Fund and Joint Facilities Operating

Fund expenditures for the month of October 2013 in the amount of $1,684,315.71; and Power Division expenditures for the month of October 2013 in the amount of $59,675.00.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION – None. POWER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager, including water management, powerhouse operations and power revenue for the year ended October 2013. Mrs. Zancanella noted that the storm series that began November 19 produced 2.5” of rain. Because of the dry conditions to date, a letter was sent to PG&E requesting that the combined storage in Little Grass Valley and Sly Creek reservoirs be drawn down below the typical year-end storage of 60,000 acre-feet to 55,000 acre-feet. On November 18, the combined reservoir storage was 61,219 acre-feet. Kelly Ridge Powerhouse Outage The outage at Kelly Ridge Powerhouse that began on October 1 is continuing. The turbine shutoff valve has been replaced and the rotor with the refurbished field poles is to be delivered to the powerhouse on November 22, with reinstallation occurring on Saturday, November 23 in coordination with a PG&E line clearance for safety. The unit is taking longer than originally expected to rebuild because of the extent to which it had to be disassembled for refurbishment of bearings, bearing tubs and the turbine shaft, and because of the number of wires that needed to be replaced with the installation of the new RTU and annunciator. Electrical Technician Joe Romero estimated that at least 400 wires have been affected in the process, and it takes time to verify that everything will work correctly when the unit is restarted. Problems that were created in 1992 when the unit was last overhauled have continued to show up – it appears that at least one wicket was improperly installed at that time, which meant it could not be adjusted correctly. The powerhouse is currently expected to be returned to service on December 10.

71

Lost Creek Dam Modification Project The California Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a draft Lakebed Alteration Agreement for the Lost Creek Dam Modification Project that the Agency originally had some issues with. A second draft was issued and has been accepted. A report of the requested non-linear analysis was reviewed by the California Division of Safety of Dams and a webinar is being scheduled to facilitate FERC’s review. On December 4, 2012, FERC issued an order requiring that the Historic American Engineering Record documentation be submitted by December 4, 2013. Archival photos were taken of the dam this past summer and a report was submitted to the National Park Service’s National Historic Landmarks Program Manager for review on August 28. However, the Program Manager reported that the recent temporary federal government shutdown put its office too far behind schedule to be able to submit comments in time to meet the FERC deadline. Therefore, a request for an extension of time was submitted to FERC. FINANCE DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager, including financial statements for the month ending October 2013, together with consumption and revenue data for all six distribution systems. South Feather Relicensing Consulting Services HDR submitted an invoice for relicensing consulting services in the amount of $2,314.53 for services rendered during the period of August 25 through September 28, 2013. Including this payment, the total amount paid to HDR for these services is $5,118,556. The budget balance remaining under this agreement is $32,206. Finance Division Transitions As previously reported, long time Agency employees Debby Cunningham and Pat Sands have recently retired. SFWPA’s newest employee, Heather Benedict, began her permanent employment in the Finance Division on October 14. The Division’s job titles, descriptions and specifications have not had a thorough review for quite some time and some portions of the descriptions are significantly out of date. A review of the job descriptions and requirements has commenced along with consideration of changing job titles and potentially establishing a more current career ladder progression within the Division. A preliminary discussion has occurred with the employees and the discussions will continue. 2014 Budget Most of the time this past month was expended on preparing the 2014 Budget. The department managers and the Finance Division staff provided assistance and exhibited cooperation throughout the process. The Budget and Finance Committee (Directors Moreland and Onken) met with the General Manager and division managers on November 14 and had a full review of the 2014 Proposed Budget. WATER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager. Domestic Distribution Operations A distribution crew of two to three employees is performing the seasonal maintenance activity of valve maintenance which was previously done manually and considered time consuming. New equipment and computer programs have been implemented to assist in the maintenance, exercising and data management resulting in a much more efficient overall program. Irrigation System Operations NYWD has completed the replacement of the 42” Techite (fiberglass) pipe siphon spanning Woodleaf creek on the Upper Forbestown Ditch.

72

The irrigation system’s current releases are: Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 0 cfs NYWD = 0 cfs WD 6 = 0 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 7 cfs Palermo Canal = 4 cfs Distribution crews have completed the replacement of approximately 1,000 feet of old corroded six- and four-inch diameter steel pipe on the Community Line that feeds the Meier’s Orchard area (Foothill and Lower Wyandotte Road). Water Treatment Operations The total MRTP treated water production for the month of October was approximately 114% of average. The annual accumulated value indicates that the annual water demand is still near average for this time of year. All bacteriological requirements were met for the Miners Ranch and Bangor Treatment Plants. On October 10, Big Valley Divers inspected the Kelly Ridge Million Gallon Tank (MGT) and the ID#2 Reservoir. The routine inspections (every three to five years) provide current condition assessment and baseline information for planning maintenance activities associated with the storage of finished treated water. Ultrasonic thickness testing was performed on the floor of the MGT providing information on the integrity of the tank that cannot be inspected visually. No significant deficiencies were revealed during the inspections. Recoating of the tank will need to occur within the next couple of years. Solar Plant Production MRTP’s power demand for October was greater than the solar generation by 38,000 kWh. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Michael Glaze, General Manager. ACWA’s Statewide Water Action Plan Directors reviewed the Association of California Water Agencies’ recently published Statewide Water Action Plan for California. The Association is requesting resolutions of support from ACWA members. After reviewing the document there was consensus that the matter should be placed on December’s agenda for consideration of a resolution of support. Special Projects Manager Recruitment The application deadline for this position was November 1, and the résumés of twelve of the applicants indicated position-relevant knowledge, skills, abilities and experience. A significant priority was for the Special Projects Manager to have excellent written communication skills. So, to further assist in screening the applicants and identifying the ones to move on to the interview process, a writing project was created. To continue being considered for this position, each of the top twelve were asked to provide an original and independently prepared response to two hypothetical scenarios. All of the members of SFWPA’s management team reviewed, evaluated and scored the written responses. Based on those scores, seven of the applicants were selected for interviews. All seven were interviewed for an hour each on Tuesday, November 12. Joining Mr. Glaze in the interviewing was Matt Colwell, Kathy Zancanella, Steve Wong and Art Martinez. After comparing résumés, responses to the writing project, and interview scores and evaluations by the management team, Shawn Hayse was selected for the job by Mr. Glaze. Mr. Hayse is presently general manager of JW Bamford Corporation’s timber export unit, with direct responsibility for all administrative and operational activities relating to the management, growth and development of this enterprise. He is also working on his MBA with an emphasis in project management. Prior to his current position he was the Executive Pastor at the Oroville Church of the Nazarene, engaged in organizational development, executive-level management and human resource development. He has lived in Oroville since 2001.

73

Mr. Hayse’s employment will begin on January 6, 2014. Electrician Recruitment The Agency’s website presently has a posting for a journeyman electrician position in the Power Division. Applications are due by December 6. The successful candidate will be an industrial electrician with three or more years of experience in transmission substations or power plants and who has theoretical and operational knowledge of troubleshooting, repairing and upgrading electrical control circuits. This vacancy was created when electrician Marty Costa elected to transfer over to a vacant operator-in-training position. DIRECTORS REPORTS Director Onken apologized for missing the last two board meetings. Director Moll invited directors and staff to his firm’s holiday open house. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS – BCSDA EXECUTIVE BOARD Directors reviewed a ballot received recently from Butte County Special Districts Association for the enterprise-district positions on the Association’s Executive Board. M/S/C (Moll/Lodigiani) authorizing the casting of SFWPA’s votes for James Edwards

and George Barger to serve as enterprise representatives on the Butte County Special Districts Association Executive Board.

ASSOCIATION EXPENSES Each year’s budget includes expenses for membership in associations and non-profit organizations. As shown below, the annual expense for such memberships exceeds $46,000. Before consideration of the 2014 Budget, Mr. Wong and Mr. Glaze wanted directors to have the opportunity to evaluate the Agency’s participation in these various associations and, more importantly, have the opportunity to determine if they are all worthy of the Agency’s continued participation. Following are the 12 organizations in which the Agency maintains membership:

National Hydropower Association (NHA) $ 19,385 Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) 18,275 California Special Districts Association (CSDA) 4,925 American Water Works Association (AWWA) 1,900 Oroville Area Chamber of Commerce 559 Oroville Economic Development Corporation (OEDCo) 350 Springbrook National Users Group 175 Government Finance Officers Association 160 Foundation for Cross-Connection 120 U.S. Society of Dams 95 American Society of Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO) 45 Butte County Special Districts Association (BCSDA) 25 $ 46,018

After discussion there was consensus that all are important organizations and that, with the exception of ASDSO, the services and benefits they each provide the Agency are important enough to justify their expense. Mrs. Zancanella was directed to investigate the availability of sources of information for which she presently depends on NHA. 2014 BUDGET Directors reviewed the proposed 2014 Budget that had been reviewed by the Budget and Finance Committee (Directors Moreland and Onken) at its meeting on Thursday, November 14, 2013. The Agency’s division managers attended the Committee’s meeting, made brief presentations and responded to questions from the Committee.

74

The proposed budget’s format, funds and fund accounting system are all similar to the budgets adopted in recent years. The budget and accounting structure segregate revenues and expenses according to the source of funds, facilitate compliance with SFWPA’s agreement with North Yuba Water District, identify funds received and used for system capacity purposes, and meets governmental accounting standards. The 2014 proposed budget anticipates a beginning balance on January 1, 2014 of $27,055,831 and an end-of-year balance at December 31, 2014 of $25,361,164. M/S/C (Lodigiani/Moreland) approving the 2014 Budget as recommended by the

Finance Committee, including appropriation of funds for equipment acquisitions and capital improvement projects.

BOND COUNSEL SERVICES AGREEMENT As reported last month, six responses were received in response to the Agency’s Request for Proposals for Bond/Disclosure Counsel services. Proposed costs ranged from $65,000 to $140,000. Telephone interviews with three of the firms were conducted on Friday, October 4, 2013. The interviews were arranged and led by the Agency’s financial advisors, First Southwest. Matt Colwell and Steve Wong participated along with the First Southwest team. A decision was ultimately reached to use one firm for bond counsel services and a second one for disclosure counsel services at a combined total price of $80,000. The two firms, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe for bond counsel services, and Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth for disclosure counsel services, agreed with the approach and subsequently prepared draft agreements for the Agency’s review. Those agreements were reviewed and modified by Dustin Cooper. M/S/C (Onken/Edwards) approving, and authorizing the General Manager to execute,

the Agreement for Bond Counsel Services with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, for a fixed fee of $50,000, inclusive of expenses, contingent on completion of the financing.

DISCLOSURE COUNSEL SERVICES AGREEMENT M/S/C (Onken/Edwards) approving, and authorizing the General Manager to execute,

the Disclosure Counsel Agreement with Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, for a fixed fee of $30,000, inclusive of expenses, paid solely from the proceeds of the financing.

SFWPA’s (et al) claim submitted to the Commission on State Mandates challenging 2009 water conservation legislation (S.B. x7-7) as an unfunded state mandate.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager DATE: December 11, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on agenda) 12/17/13 Board of Directors Meeting Operations Attached are the Power Division Summary Report for November 2013 and a chart showing Forbestown precipitation. Precipitation continues to lag behind average, and the upper three powerhouses have not generated since December 3rd. PG&E declined to draw down the combined storage in Little Grass Valley and Sly Creek reservoirs to 55,000 acre-feet this year, as the Agency had requested, absent a letter agreement amending the Power Purchase Agreement, because of potential negative financial impacts to PG&E. The Agency and PG&E will discuss this option further in 2014. Forbestown Ditch Conserved Water Under the terms of the 2005 Agreement with North Yuba Water District, the Agency receives the full generation value of the water conserved from its annual Forbestown Ditch allotment of 3,720 acre-feet. Shown below are the amounts of water used annually and the value of the conserved water for the past three years:

Annual Use (Acre-feet) Annual Conserved Water Value 2011 1,317 $170,653 2012 1,773 $174,422 2013 2,025 $172,809

With a range of $45.96 to $139.20 per acre-foot, the average value has increased each year: $67.83, $77.20 and $104.82 (2011 – 2013, respectively). Kelly Ridge Outage By the time this meeting occurs, most of the restoration of Kelly Ridge Powerhouse should be complete. The SCADA remote terminal unit has been installed, and the rotor and stator have passed their tests following reinstallation and repairs. Meter re-certification required to satisfy the California Independent System Operator’s procedures was done on December 11th. The lift pump has been installed and the turbine shaft, runner and bearings are being reassembled. Shaft alignment is scheduled to be finished December 13th. Acceptance testing of the new turbine shutoff valve will take place the week of December 16th. The unit is scheduled to be returned to service on December 20th.

The photo at left, taken by John Davis, shows Henry Reeson, Marty Costa, Gary Daley, Brian Howerton, Dorinda Matney and Guy Mastelotto carefully guiding the refurbished rotor back into place.

Lost Creek Dam Improvement Project The non-linear analysis report for the Lost Creek Dam Improvement Project has been completed and reviewed with the Division of Safety of Dams, and will be submitted to FERC later this week. As a result of a number of iterations of the analysis, the engineering consultants recommend that the downstream concrete face be four and a half feet thick in order to eliminate the potential for cracking during a significant seismic event. On December 4, Tom Barnard of AECOM and I met with representatives of Yuba County’s Department of Public Works and Soper LLC to discuss encroachment permits and the work necessary to set up a temporary concrete batch plant at Soper’s yard in Strawberry Valley. A draft lease agreement for the use of space at Soper’s yard will be submitted for Board consideration during the first quarter of 2014. An application for a temporary three-phase electric service for the batch plant has been submitted to PG&E.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager DATE: December 12, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 12/17/13 Board of Directors Meeting Domestic Distribution Operations Water Division staff have been accomplishing normal water system maintenance and operations tasks. Ongoing work projects include domestic service installations, distribution system betterments, leak repairs and valve maintenance. The origins of an exceptionally problematic water leak was investigated a couple of days before the Thanksgiving holiday. The leak was problematic because the line was encased in old 8-inch steel pipe, feeding an occupied school (Oroville Christian), and on the shoulder of Highway 162. The steel casing prevented the detection of the location of the actual leak to an area smaller than 200 feet. Uncertain of the actual repair the leak continued through the Thanksgiving holiday. The crews eventually utilized compact equipment and minor traffic lane shifts to pothole a couple of locations and cut into the steel casing. LOAPUD (Dan Sanders) assisted with their pipeline inspection camera to locate the precise location of the leak which allowed Agency crews to cut the steel casing and expose the problem. A temporarily service interruption was coordinated with the school and the repair was completed in 20 minutes. Once again we express our gratitude for LOAPUD’s cooperation and assistance. (The photographs from left to right, below, show the original location of the leak; exposing the precise location of the leak determined by the pipe camera; the problem and a 20-minute repair.)

Miners Ranch Water Treatment PlantMonthly Water Production VS: KWH Purchased

Irrigation System Operations Distribution crews completed a shotcrete sealing application to approximately 500-feet of Forbestown Ditch. Access to the ditch locations is always a concern and the concrete pumping rig had to be towed with a bulldozer to make it up to the site. The photograph at left shows the reshaped ditch and the application of the shotcrete, and the photo at right shows the completed hand troweled and shaped shotcrete application.

NYWD is intermittently adding water to the Forbestown Ditch for its use and, at the time of this report, are currently adding 8 cfs. The current irrigation system flows are as follows: Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 8 cfs

NYWD = 8 cfs SFWPA @ WD 6 = 0 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 6 cfs Palermo Canal SF30 = 4 cfs Water Treatment Operations The MRTP Control System Upgrade Project is continuing as anticipated. The treatment plant crew and maintenance technician are busy modifying, upgrading, and rewiring the old legacy control system in preparation for the new PLC. Automated Network Controls (consultant) is performing tasks associated with the control software migration. The total MRTP treated water production for the month of November (table at right) was approximately 128% of average. The annual accumulated value (shown on the historical graph at the end of this report) indicates that the annual water demand is slightly above average for this time of year.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager DATE: December 12, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 12/17/13 Board of Directors Meeting South Feather Relicensing Consulting Services HDR submitted an invoice for relicensing consulting services in the amount of $1,570.58 for services rendered during the period of September 29 through November 2, 2013. Including this payment, the total amount paid to HDR for these services is $5,120,127. The budget balance remaining under this agreement is $30,636. Finance Division Transitions The Division’s clerical job titles, descriptions and specifications have been revamped to better describe the job functions of everyone in these positions and to accommodate a smoother and more logical advancement process. Draft copies have been distributed to affected employees for consideration. A meeting between the General Manager and staff will occur in the near future to finalize the draft for board consideration. Proposition 4 Appropriations Limit In connection with the Agency’s participation in the Mandated Cost test claim against the State for the Water Conservation Act of 2009, the Commission on State Mandates has initially denied consideration of the claim because, among other things, the Agency has not demonstrated the receipt of tax revenues by annually adopting an Appropriations Limit. A couple of files from over 30 years ago were discovered where Pat Sands had retained paperwork and completed some calculations. Using the information from those files, and with some assistance from the County Auditor-Controller’s Office, a 2013 SFWPA Appropriations Limit of $910,897 has been calculated. The Agency’s 2013 proceeds from taxes (Property Tax) are estimated to be $510,000. If the proceeds from taxes exceeded the Appropriations Limit, the excess, subject to a carry-over calculation, would have to be returned to the taxpayers. Following a public review period, the Board will be requested to adopt a resolution establishing the Appropriations Limit.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: December 11, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 12/17/13 Board of Directors Meeting MRTP Improvement Project – CEQA Attached is a copy of the Public Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). The required 30-day public review period for the IS/MND commenced on December 11. The Notice of Intent that was filed with the County Clerk that same day invites written public comment and advises that a public hearing will be held on January 28, 2014 (the date of the board’s regular January meeting) to consider project approval and adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. Electrician Recruitment The application deadline for the journeyman electrician vacancy in the Power Division was December 6. Kathy Zancanella, John Davis and Scott Alcantara will be joining me in interviewing five applicants on December 19. North State Economic Forecast Conference The Center for Economic Development (CED) at CSU, Chico, puts on an annual North State Economic Forecast Conference. The next one is on January 16, 2014 at Gold Country Casino. At its September meeting, the Board authorized sponsoring this event on behalf of Oroville Economic Alliance (OEA) at the “Innovator” level to provide a launching pad for the OEA’s business recruitment marketing program. The Innovator Sponsorship gives Oroville Economic Alliance the opportunity to speak to this highly targeted audience for 15 minutes, providing OEA the opportunity to introduce itself as a professional organization with a focus on growing Oroville as well as an opportunity to garner buy-in from both the public and private sectors. Although OEA’s focus is on businesses planning to expand, relocate or grow in and around Oroville, its ultimate success lies in aligning the goals of the business and private sectors and creating excitement about the growth opportunities that await Oroville. The sponsorship comes with 16 complimentary conference registrations. So, in addition to Oroville Economic Alliance representatives, SFWPA directors are also covered. The CED would like to know ASAP who will be attending on behalf of OEA/SFWPA. Please check your calendar for January 16 and let me know if you will be able to attend the conference.

Dee Hunter’s Presentation The Board’s resolution of appreciation was to be presented to Dee at the Employee Appreciation Dinner earlier this month. However, snow prevented Dee and Dan from traveling down from their home in Concow that evening. So, she is going to come to the Board meeting to say hello and to give us the opportunity to make the presentation.


TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: December 6, 2013 RE: Recruitment Process – Special Projects Manager Agenda Item for 12/17/13 Board of Directors Meeting The purpose of this item is to discuss the recent recruitment process for the Special Projects Manager, as requested by Steve Onken.


TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: December 6, 2013 RE: Statewide Water Politics Agenda Item for 12/17/13 Board of Directors Meeting Attached is a copy of a public review draft of the “California Water Action Plan,” together with a copy of the Association of California Water Agencies’ (ACWA) “Statewide Water Action Plan for California.” Also attached is a letter from Dustin Cooper highlighting the State’s Action Plan and the differences between it and ACWA’s Action Plan. ACWA is encouraging its members to adopt resolutions of support for its Action Plan, and has already submitted it to Governor Brown “as the water community’s recommendations for development of a water plan for the state.” If the Board decides to support ACWA’s plan, a draft resolution is attached for consideration, and the following action would suffice:

“I move adoption of Resolution No. 13-12-01 in support of the Association of California Water Agencies’ Statewide Water Action Plan.”


RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Resolution 13-12-01 IN SUPPORT OF

THE ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES’ STATEWIDE WATER ACTION PLAN

WHEREAS, the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) has developed a Statewide Water Action Plan to address overall water supply reliability and ecosystem health in California; and, WHEREAS, ACWA’s Statewide Water Action Plan outlines 15 actions to improve water supply reliability, protect water rights, protect the integrity of the state’s water system and promote better stewardship; and, WHEREAS, the plan also includes guiding principles for implementation to help ensure actions benefit the entire state, respect water rights and contract terms, and reflect a new regulatory approach that can better meet the needs of California water users and ecosystems; and, WHEREAS, the Statewide Water Action Plan provides context for a Delta solution and other critical actions as components of a broader set of strategies to secure California’s water future; and, WHEREAS, when implemented together, this suite of statewide actions will serve as a sustainable path forward for California. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the South Feather Water and Power Agency hereby supports ACWA’s Statewide Water Action Plan and encourages its adoption as the basis for statewide action by Governor Brown.

ACWA’s mission is to assist

its members in promoting the

development, management and

reasonable beneficial use of good

quality water at the lowest practical cost

in an environmentally balanced manner.

The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) convened a broad cross-section of member water interests

in spring 2013 to develop a statewide plan addressing the state’s overall water supply reliability and ecosystem

health. The goal was to craft a specific plan that could be broadly supported by water interests throughout the

state and serve as a sustainable path forward for California.

The resulting Statewide Water Action Plan was completed in September and unanimously approved by the

ACWA Board of Directors on Sept. 27, 2013. ACWA submitted the Statewide Water Action Plan to California

Governor Edmund G Brown Jr. on Oct. 2, 2013, as the water community’s recommendations for developing the

Administration’s water plan for the state.

1 Statewide water action Plan for california

California’s complex water management system is facing unprecedented challenges. Local investments in water supply reliability and ecosystem health have built upon the legacy infrastructure projects that served us well in the past, but the backbone water supply system we rely on today no longer satisfies the state’s needs. California’s statewide water system cannot respond effectively to our growing population, changing ecosystem needs, increasing flood risks and consecutive years of drought. Climate change and its impacts on public safety and long-term water supply reliability also pose a significant challenge to this generation of water and flood managers.

These problems are extraordinary, and their solutions will require an extraordinary commitment from state, local and federal agencies. They also will require a more evolved regulatory approach that will allow the system to operate efficiently and predictably to meet 21st century water supply and ecosystem needs.

the state has recognized the need for action in venues and initiatives such as the Department of Water Resources’ (DWR) California Water Plan, the Delta Stewardship Council’s Delta Plan, and the multi-agency Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). Now California’s public water agencies are stepping forward to recommend this set of principles and actions to enhance these individual efforts and integrate them in a comprehensive Statewide Water Action Plan. Our recommended plan, submitted to the Governor for his consideration, provides context for a Delta solution and other critical actions as components of a broader set of strategies to address overall water supply reliability and ecosystem health in California.

When implemented together, this suite of statewide actions will serve as a sustainable path forward for California. Governor Brown’s leadership and commitment will be central to the success of this action plan and to moving water policy forward in California.

1. Long-term water supply reliability and improved ecosystem health are the core objectives of this statewide water action plan. In the course of achieving them, however, we must ensure that one region’s increased reliability does not adversely affect another‘s near- or long-term water supplies.

2. A new regulatory approach is essential to reflect today’s realities and better serve the needs of California water users and the ecosystem. This is critical if we are to reduce scientific uncertainty and incorporate new understanding of operational and ecosystem dynamics. Under the current approach, regulatory agencies tend to focus only on their specific goals, resulting in duplicative and contradictory requirements that fail to deliver benefits to our water supply, water quality or ecosystem. To combat this, state agencies should commit to using collaborative processes as extensively and transparently as possible to achieve regulatory goals in a way that satisfies water supply, water quality, and ecosystem needs. This new approach should embrace enhanced sharing of data, consistent use of peer-reviewed science (including climate change models), coordinated review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and improved integration and coordination of all related processes. This approach will help ensure continued ecosystem protections and increase the water community’s confidence that regulatory investments will achieve benefits.

3. The best available science should be used to support every action, report or decision made as part of this Statewide Water Action Plan. The science should be inclusive, objective, transparent, and peer reviewed.

4. Water rights and contract terms, including area-of-origin protections, are foundational to our water system and should be respected and adhered to whenever projects and initiatives are implemented. State and federal facilities should be operated consistent with the conditions of water rights, contracts, and other entitlements.

5. Bold actions guided by strong leadership at the state, federal and local levels are essential for the successful implementation of this action plan. In particular, increased commitments by federal partners are needed to ensure the plan moves forward. The Department of Water Resources should provide leadership and support for these efforts from the department’s highest level.

6. Financing: The state should fund investments that provide broad public benefits such as improved water supply reliability, water quality and ecosystem health. The state should also incentivize local projects that advance statewide water priorities and require public assistance to be cost effective.

Guiding Principles for Implementation of the Statewide Water Action Plan


To be most effective, the following suite of statewide actions should be implemented as a comprehensive package. Indeed, many elements — including a Delta conveyance solution — are much more likely to succeed if they are part of a broader action plan. Statewide support for the action plan is essential. Advancing all elements of the plan simultaneously will help secure and maintain that support and build a statewide coalition capable of achieving these ambitious goals.

1. StorageCalifornia’s water infrastructure has proven inadequate to meet the state’s needs in a two-year drought, let alone a multi-year drought. This deficiency, coupled with the already measurable effects of climate change, makes construction of new storage facilities and expansion of existing storage imperative. A wide range of options should be on the table, including new surface water projects; re-operation and expansion/enlargement of existing storage projects; groundwater and conjunctive use; and development of other local and regional storage facilities. Additional storage will add flexibility to the water management system and help ensure a more reliable water supply to serve California’s diverse needs, including drought resilience and ecosystem protection (e.g., improved temperatures and flows for fish).

Actions

• Studies. In coordination with DWR, the responsible state, federal or local water agency proponents of projects should complete storage studies by June 2014 and formally determine whether a particular project is environmentally and economically sound and will provide benefits for water supply and the ecosystem.

• Permitting. Within six months of a local determination based on these studies, DWR and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDF&W) should begin coordinating with local agencies to expedite permitting and CEQA compliance for new storage facilities. For storage projects found to have statewide benefit, DWR and CDF&W should take the lead in expediting the permitting process.

The state also should coordinate with federal agencies as needed on permitting, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), water rights issues and potentially construction.

• Financing. Under comprehensive water legislation enacted in 2009, the California Water Commission is tasked with defining and quantifying the public benefits of water storage projects eligible for funding with state dollars. By June 2014, local water agencies that would receive identifiable water supply benefits from water storage projects should provide a plan outlining their commitment and steps they will take to pay for those benefits. This Statewide Water Action Plan recommends that any water bond that moves forward in 2014 provide for continuous appropriation of funding for the public benefits of storage as outlined in the bond measure currently slated for the November 2014 ballot.

• Construction. By January 2018, construction should commence for new groundwater and surface water storage projects with an initial target of 1.5 million acre-feet of new storage capacity, as documented in the 2000 cAlfeD record of Decision.

• Local Construction. As soon as practicable, construction of local facilities with a target of 1 million acre-feet should be completed.

• Reoperation. DWR should complete its study of reservoir reoperation by June 2014, including reoperation of existing reservoirs and integration of new storage into system operations.

2. Water Use EfficiencyWater conservation and water use efficiency are central elements of the state’s strategy to enhance water supply reliability, restore ecosystems and respond to climate change and a growing population. It should continue to be the state’s policy to encourage investments in water conservation and water use efficiency by ensuring that the right to conserved water remains with the conserving entity. Local and regional water agencies have made significant multi-decade investments in water conservation and water use-efficiency activities and continue to do so under new state requirements

Statewide Actions


enacted in law. The state should acknowledge that local agencies are in the best position to determine compliance with these requirements and should respect local determinations as sufficient.

Actions

• The state should provide funding for water use efficiency activities in disadvantaged communities and support programs that are not locally cost effective but contribute broad benefits to California.

• DWR and local water agencies should coordinate with groundwater management agencies where applicable to enhance conjunctive use opportunities and minimize potential impacts on groundwater recharge that may result from water use efficiency and conservation efforts.

3. Water Supply AssurancesCalifornia law establishes a goal of improving water supply reliability throughout the state. Water supply reliability in regions that rely on water conveyed across the Delta is of obvious importance to the California economy. A BDCP is being developed in part to improve and protect water supply reliability for the agencies that will benefit from its completion. However, it is important that these improvements be accomplished in a manner consistent with this principle.

When the central Valley Project (cVP) and the state Water Project (SWP) were built, assurances were incorporated in their authorizing statutes that water needed to meet present and future beneficial uses in the areas of origin (i.e., the Sacramento Valley, the east side of the San Joaquin Valley and the Delta) would be available to those areas when needed. All of California has benefited from these fundamental assurances. The state should commit to implementing an action plan that augments storage and modifies regulatory approaches to ensure that positive storage balances can be maintained at all times to provide for improved water supply reliability and ecosystem health and protection of the state’s economy.

Actions

• As the state implements this plan, all relevant agencies should adhere to water rights protections in state law and comply with existing water rights and contractual requirements.

• The Administration should continue to affirm through its policies and actions that the

implementation of a BDCP will not adversely affect existing water rights of those in the watershed of the Delta, nor will it impose any obligations on area-of-origin water users, including in the Delta, to supplement flows in and through the Delta.

• Those seeking to secure permits for a BDCP will be responsible for meeting all applicable conditions in their BDCP permits, including any obligations in those permits for Delta flow, which as required by law must avoid redirected impacts to area-of-origin water users, including in the Delta, unless provided for in voluntary agreements or settlements.

4. Operational AssurancesRecent modeling indicates that, in the driest 10% of years, some major reservoirs will hit “dead pool,” the condition in which water levels fall below a dam’s lowest outlets and no operable storage exists to deliver water for supply, environmental, and power generation purposes. The ramifications of hitting dead pool at that frequency could be catastrophic for water users who rely on these facilities for a portion of their supply, for the environment, and particularly for affected water agencies that do not have another viable source of water supply for their customers.

Allowing reservoirs to reach dead pool is not sound policy and is at odds with overall efforts by the state and federal governments to address California’s water supply reliability and ecosystem health. Adaptive strategies that address this issue are critical to ensure that the operational rules for California’s water delivery system will provide the water supply assurances needed by water users throughout the state. It should be the policy of the state to adopt regulations, develop operating rules, or take other actions that will ensure that reservoirs are not drawn to dead pool conditions, even in multiple dry years.

Actions

• The Administration should develop a strategy in coordination with state agency leadership and federal agency partners by January 1, 2015, to ensure reservoirs are not driven to dead pool levels. this strategy should identify needed regulatory changes, infrastructure improvements including increased storage capacity, and changes in reservoir operations, as well as support for additional local resources development.


• Initial actions identified through this process that can be implemented prior to January 1, 2015, should be included as part of the report outlined in the Governmental Coordination section of this Statewide Water Action Plan.

• As part of this strategy, the Governor should direct state agencies to implement new and existing water management and water quality programs in a manner that will help ensure California’s reservoirs do not reach dead pool conditions.

5. Improved Regional Self-RelianceIn addition to water use efficiency and water conservation, California’s water agencies utilize a variety of methods to increase local water supplies and reliability for water users and the environment. The state should continue to support development of local and regional water resources that improve each region’s water supply reliability and, where applicable, augment imported water supplies. This includes surface water diversions for in-basin uses, conjunctive use, stormwater capture, recycled water, desalination, and groundwater cleanup. Projects and programs that achieve multiple benefits should be a priority.

Actions

• Local agencies should improve self-reliance by planning and implementing projects consistent with decisions made by local and regional water agencies.

• DWR should consult with local and regional agencies to develop a statewide strategy to improve regional supplies, in accordance with the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act.

• The state should continue to support Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) efforts that successfully provide for regional and local needs.

• DWR should work with existing IRWMP programs and stakeholders to evaluate the state’s Integrated Regional Water Management program and identify areas for improvement, including streamlining the application process, developing specific criteria to determine successful plan implementation, and reducing transaction costs. This effort should include ways to enhance the program’s effectiveness in serving disadvantaged communities in IRWMP-eligible areas.

6. HeadwatersBecause nearly all of the state’s water supplies originate in California’s headwaters, more effectively managing these areas is integral to optimizing the water supplies that nature provides. Adapting to climate change and improving watershed resiliency to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic wildfires and increase water yield and quality will require substantial investments by the state.

Actions

• State land and resource management agencies with jurisdiction in headwaters areas should draft a joint report to the governor and the legislature analyzing the impacts of climate change on headwaters. The report should identify the benefits that headwaters currently provide, identify models to assess the impacts of climate change on these resources and outline strategies to adapt to those impacts. The appropriate state agencies should invite their federal agency partners to participate in the development of the report.

• The Natural Resources Agency, in consultation with the Sierra Nevada Research Institute (UC Merced) and the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and the interior, should provide a report to the governor outlining and prioritizing investments that can be made on public lands to improve the condition and functions of California’s headwaters to benefit water supply reliability for the state.

• Working with local agencies, the state should assess and support solutions for legacy issues affecting water quality and supply to improve the condition of affected watersheds.

• The state should seek to partner with the U.S. Forest Service in meadow restoration projects that can control excessive soil erosion and sediment delivery in California’s watersheds to help maintain reservoir storage capacity, reduce flood risks and increase conjunctive use capability.

7. Water QualityProtecting water quality is a critical aspect of water management in California. The state should continue to pursue actions to protect, maintain and enhance surface water and groundwater quality for all applicable beneficial uses, consistent with meeting all applicable standards, agreements and regulatory requirements.


Actions

• The Department of Public Health should fund the development and use of new analytical methods and cost-effective treatment technologies to better detect and remove chemical and microbial contaminants from drinking water supplies.

• The state should provide funding support for local water agencies to develop and implement salt and nutrient management plans that will reduce salinity in surface and groundwater supplies and provide enhanced conjunctive use opportunities.

• The State Water Resources Control Board and the Regional Boards should review and better match water quality standards to the locally appropriate and demonstrated use of the water. Water quality program expenditures should be focused where they will provide the greatest water quality benefits. Source water quality for municipal uses should continue to be protected.

• The state should continue to develop solutions for assisting disadvantaged communities that do not have safe drinking water.

8. Bay Delta Conservation PlanA Delta solution, including a BDcP, is a critical component of a broader set of actions that will address water supply reliability and ecosystem health in california.

Actions

• Within the scope of existing regulatory statutes, all state agencies involved in developing a BDcP should exercise their discretion and authority to ensure the final project is consistent with the principles of this Statewide Water Action Plan.

• A Delta solution is expected to provide substantial public benefits, which will be funded from public sources including a revised 2014 water bond. The state should work with its federal partners to secure long-term, non-reimbursable federal funding to pay for the federal share of these public benefits.

• Any large construction project, including a BDCP, may have adverse impacts related to the project’s “footprint.” Where feasible, a BDCP should be designed to avoid or minimize adverse impacts in the first place. When adverse impacts cannot be avoided, the permittees of a BDCP should

mitigate project-related environmental impacts, including water supply impacts, in accordance with existing law.

• The permittees of a BDCP, including the Central Valley Project and state Water Project contractors, should work collaboratively with other water users in good faith on all statewide water issues to find mutually acceptable solutions on the broader statewide water issues.

9. Levee Improvement and Maintenancelevees in the Delta and throughout california are key features of the state’s water system and are subject to many risks, including those associated with earthquakes and floods. To protect against and prepare for future levee failures, the state should continue to support and prioritize the maintenance of levees in accordance with state law, including critical near-term actions and the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan.

Actions

• The Delta Stewardship Council should complete its prioritization plan by July 1, 2014.

• The state should continue to support DWR’s Delta Levee Maintenance and Special Projects programs and provide support for local flood protection measures throughout the Central Valley by partnering with local agencies in projects that can incorporate public benefits.

10. Emergency Preparedness and Public Safetyrecent events in california and other states have demonstrated that water-related emergencies can have significant impacts and put public safety at risk. A robust emergency response plan is essential for minimizing disruption due to floods, earthquakes, wildfires, power outages or contamination of drinking water supplies. The state, working with federal partners, should continue efforts to improve response strategies to enhance public safety during these unforeseen events.

Actions

• DWR should implement pertinent recommendations of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Multi-Hazard Coordination Task Force Report of 2012.


• To reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) should review and, if necessary, revise relevant state regulations to better accommodate and effectuate the use of forest management tools such as forest thinning, biomass removal and controlled burns that reduce fuel loading.

• DWR should coordinate with the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to ensure public safety in the Delta and upstream will not be compromised by actions that might otherwise degrade the performance of flood management facilities; create or redirect hydraulic impacts; or, interfere with or impede flood facility improvements, operations or maintenance.

• DWR should implement the pathway strategy adopted in its draft Delta Flood Emergency Preparedness and response Plan and supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This effort includes all measures to facilitate restoration of an emergency freshwater pathway to water export facilities in approximately six months.

11. Bay-Delta Water Quality Control PlanMultiple regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to, the State Water Resources Control Board (state Water Board), national oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), CDF&W, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), DWR, Army Corps of Engineers, and the Delta Stewardship Council are tasked with making decisions affecting California’s water supplies. Continued coordination among these agencies is essential to avoid duplicative and possibly conflicting policies and regulations, and to make the most efficient use of the state’s resources. Negotiated programs and planning efforts have been and likely will be the most effective tools to protect beneficial uses in the Bay-Delta. the state Water Board has the opportunity to lead this coordination through its review and update of the 2006 Water Quality Control Plan (Bay-Delta Plan). In its review of the Bay-Delta Plan, the state Water Board should:

Actions

• Encourage and facilitate negotiated programs, planning efforts and settlements that will implement flow and non-flow actions consistent

with the need to protect beneficial uses and public trust balancing.

• Require a tri-annual review of water quality objectives and implementation accountability through annual reports by local agencies, state offices, departments and boards with responsibility to implement the Bay-Delta Plan.

12. Water BondSignificant investments in California’s water infrastruc-ture, water management improvements and ecosys-tem health are critically needed and long overdue.

Actions

• The water bond currently set for the November 2014 ballot should be modified, consistent with the ACWA Board of Directors’ Water Bond Policy Principles, in early 2014 to ensure its placement on the November ballot. An appropriately crafted general obligation bond can fund broad public benefits associated with investments identified in this Statewide Water Action Plan. Priorities for funding should include new surface and groundwater storage; local and regional projects that support greater regional self-sufficiency; investments in Delta ecosystem restoration; safe drinking water projects and water quality improvements; water conservation and water use efficiency; and watershed management.

13. Groundwater ResourcesMany regions of the state rely on groundwater for a significant portion of their water supply. In recent years, climate change, regulatory restrictions on surface water supplies, and increased demands have forced greater reliance on groundwater as a principal or supplemental supply for urban, agricultural and environmental uses. More sustainable management of groundwater is needed, but in order to succeed the state must invest in improvements to its water storage and Delta conveyance infrastructure to optimize both surface and groundwater supplies. Consistent with ACWA’s strategic policy document, Sustainability from the Ground Up: A Framework for Groundwater Management in California, the state should support and incentivize effective local and regional groundwater management, resolve conflicting state regulatory requirements and streamline its policies to optimize and increase surface and groundwater storage opportunities.


Actions

• DWR should convene a multi-agency workgroup with participation by local groundwater agencies to coordinate, review and facilitate implementation of local and regional groundwater management performance objectives.

• Groundwater recharge, banking and conjunctive use projects are critical to the future sustainability of California’s groundwater resources. DWR and State Water Board (and regional Boards) should support and facilitate these activities when programs are implemented as part of an IRWMP or legally recognized groundwater management plan.

• DWR, in consultation with other agencies that gather data, should develop a single data portal on a publicly accessible website for groundwater quality information. DWR also should continue to expand the CASGEM database for groundwater quantity.

• The state, through the Regional Boards, should support and incentivize local agencies’ efforts to develop long-term, sustainable solutions for cleanup of existing groundwater contamination and prevention of future contamination.

14. Water TransfersWater transfers can provide much-needed flexibility in meeting water supply and environmental needs and have proven invaluable in dry years and droughts. A well-defined set of policies and procedures that provide certainty to transferring parties is essential to facilitate future transfers and promote local and statewide economic, social and environmental sustainability.

While federal and state laws promote transfers, DWR’s current approval processes should be streamlined. these issues should be resolved as expeditiously as possible so water transfers can be implemented quickly — when they are needed — without adversely affecting third parties.

Actions

• DWR should convene stakeholder meetings, including with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, to identify and resolve, at a minimum, the following issues by December 1, 2013:

o Identify a process to expedite transfers within a region;

o Assess the role of CEQA in water transfers,

o Review DWR and Reclamation processes and criteria that are used to determine what water is transferable; and

o Investigate and review contracting practices within Reclamation and DWR for approving agreements to use conveyance and storage facilities of the central Valley Project and the state Water Project.

• DWR also should review the 2002 SWRCB report, Water Transfers Issues in California, for background and relevant recommendations to further facilitate water transfers.

15. Governmental CoordinationFor this plan to be successful, improved coordination among state agencies and between the state and federal government will be critical.

Actions

• The Governor and state agency leadership should follow up with their federal counterparts, including the President, to assess actions, policy direction and commitments in response to the memo from the President’s Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to his cabinet directing that a BDcP be a priority for the Obama Administration. The state should further coordinate with federal agencies to advance other actions identified in the CEQ memo, including conservation and water use efficiency, enhancing water supplies and storage, and facilitating water transfers during times of shortage.

• The secretaries of the Natural Resources Agency, California Environmental Protection Agency and the Health and Human Services Agency, in coordination with their respective boards, departments, offices, councils, commissions and conservancies that have a role in implementation of this plan, should produce within 90 days of the Governor’s approval of this plan a joint report that details how the agencies and entities they oversee will exercise their authorities to implement this plan in an expeditious and integrated manner.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Scott Alcantara, Environmental & Safety Manager DATE: December 11, 2013 RE: Amendment of Policy #570 – Substance Abuse Agenda Item for 12/17/13 Board of Directors Meeting Attached is a copy of Agency General Policy #570. It affects all Agency employees and describes the Agency’s method of compliance with current Federal alcohol and controlled substance regulations for the transportation industry. These regulations were enacted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and are found in 49 CFR Parts 29, 40 and Part 382, the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988. The Agency’s policy was last revised in 1996. There are two classifications of employees under the previously identified Federal regulations: “safety sensitive” and “non-safety sensitive.” The circumstances as to when employee testing can occur and what controlled substances can be included in the drug screen are based on these classifications. Appendix A of Policy #570 identifies Agency positions that are classified as “safety sensitive.” Currently Federal “safety sensitive” drug screens include five controlled substances or their metabolites, while “non-safety sensitive” drug screens include ten controlled substances or their metabolites. The proposed revisions (shown as colored type) attempt to clarify these classifications and differences in controlled substance testing allowed under 49 CFR Parts 29, 40 and Part 382 the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988. The requested action is:

“I move approval of the revisions to General Policy #570 as proposed by the Environmental and Safety Manager.”

Policy #570 – SUBSTANCE ABUSE

SECTION I - POLICY STATEMENT

The purpose of this policy is to assure worker fitness for duty and to protect Agency employees and the public from risks posed by the use of alcohol and controlled substances. This policy is also intended to comply with all current and future applicable Federal regulations governing workplace anti-drug programs in the transportation industry. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the Department of Transportation (DOT) has enacted 49 CFR Part 382 that mandate urine drug testing and breathalyzer alcohol testing for safety-sensitive positions and prevents performance of safety-sensitive functions when there is a positive test result. The Department of Transportation has also enacted 49 DFR Part 40 that sets standards for the collection and testing of urine and breath specimens. In addition, the Department of Transportation has enacted 49 CFR Part 29, “The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988,” which requires the establishment of drug free workplace policies and the reporting of certain drug-related offenses to the Department of Transportation. This policy incorporates those requirements of safety-sensitive employees and others when so noted. South Feather Water & Power Agency recognizes that the use of alcohol and/or controlled substances in the workplace is not conducive to safe working conditions. In order to promote a safe, healthy and productive work environment for all employees, it is the objective of the Agency to have a work force that is free from the influence of alcohol and controlled substances. A. APPLICABILITY This policy applies to all employees when they are on Agency property or when performing any Agency related business. Certain provisions, where identified, will apply only to safety-sensitive employees. It also applies to off-site lunch periods and breaks when a safety-sensitive employee is scheduled to return to work. A safety-sensitive employee is: (1) one in any Hydropower Generation Employees Unit or Water Treatment and Distribution Employees Unit classification requiring the use of a Class “A” or Class “B” commercial drivers license, as listed in Appendix A; (2) one who has voluntarily driven an Agency vehicle requiring a commercial license within the last 12-month period, or who desires in the future to voluntarily drive a Agency vehicle requiring a commercial license; or, (3) one who performs safety-sensitive functions as specified in Appendix A. A safety-sensitive employee is considered to be performing a safety-sensitive function during any period in which that employee is actually performing, ready to perform, or immediately available to perform any safety-sensitive functions. B. PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES “Prohibited substances” addressed by this policy currently include the following: Drugs: marijuana, amphetamines, opiates, phencyclidine (PCP) and cocaine. Alcohol The use of beverages or substances, including any medication, containing alcohol such that it is present in the body at a level in excess of that stated in DOT guidelines while actually performing, ready to perform, or immediately available to perform any Agency business is prohibited. “Alcohol” is defined as the intoxicating

agent in beverage alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or other low molecular weight alcohol, including methyl or isopropyl alcohol. Legal Medications Using or being under the influence of any legally prescribed medication(s), or non-prescription medication(s) while performing Agency business or while on Agency property is prohibited to the extent that such use or influence affects job safety or effective and efficient job performance. An employee who feels his/her performance of work-related duties may be impaired by use of any legal substance which carries a warning label that indicates that mental functioning, motor skills and/or judgment may be adversely affected should report it to his/her supervisor, and medical advice should be sought before performing work-related duties. In the above instance, an employee using legal prescribed medication or non-prescription medication may continue to work if the supervisor determines that the employee does not pose a safety threat and that job performance is not affected by such use. C. PROHIBITED CONDUCT Manufacture, Trafficking, Possession and Use Engaging in unlawful manufacture, distribution or dispensing of a controlled substance or alcohol on Agency premises, in a Agency vehicle or while conducting Agency business off the premises is absolutely prohibited. Violation may result in termination. Law enforcement shall be notified, as appropriate, where criminal activity is suspected. Engaging in unlawful possession or use of a controlled substance or alcohol on Agency premises, in a Agency vehicle or while conducting Agency business off the premises is absolutely prohibited. Violation will result in removal from duty and referral to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), and may result in discipline up to and including termination of employment. Impaired/Not Fit for Duty Any employee who is reasonably suspected of being impaired, under the influence of a prohibited substance, or not fit for duty shall be removed from job duties and be required to undergo a reasonable suspicion controlled substance or alcohol test. Employees failing to pass this reasonable suspicion controlled substance or alcohol test shall remain off duty and be referred to an SAP. A controlled substance or alcohol test is considered positive (failed) if the individual is found to have a quantifiable presence of a prohibited substance in the body above the minimum thresholds defined in the DOT guidelines. Alcohol Use No safety-sensitive employee may report for duty or remain on duty when his/her ability to perform assigned functions is adversely affected by alcohol or when his/her breath alcohol concentration is 0.04 or greater. No employee shall use alcohol during working hours. No safety-sensitive employee shall use alcohol within four (4) hours of reporting for duty. Violations of this provision are prohibited and will subject the employee to disciplinary action, including removal from safety-sensitive duty and referral to an SAP. Compliance with Testing Requirements All safety-sensitive employees are subject to controlled substance testing and breath alcohol testing. Any safety-sensitive employee who refuses to comply with a request for testing, who provides false information in connection with a test or who attempts to falsify test results through tampering, contamination, adulteration, or substitution shall be removed from duty immediately and be referred to an SAP. Refusal to

submit to a test can include an inability to provide a urine specimen or breath sample without a valid medical explanation, as well as a verbal declaration, obstructive behavior or physical absence resulting in the inability to conduct the test. Treatment/Rehabilitation Program An employee with a controlled substance and/or alcohol problem will be afforded an opportunity for treatment in accordance with the following provisions:

Positive Controlled Substance and/or Alcohol Test: A Rehabilitation Program is available for employees who have tested positive for a prohibited substance on a one-time basis only. Employees will be terminated immediately on the occurrence of a second event with a verified positive test result. Program costs and subsequent controlled substance and/or alcohol-testing costs will be paid by the employee. When recommended by the SAP, participation and completion of the rehabilitation program is mandatory. Failure of an employee to attend and complete a prescribed program will result in termination from employment. Prior to return-to-duty testing, an employee must follow the rehabilitation program recommended by the SAP and agree to and sign a Return-To-Duty Agreement. The duration and frequency of follow-up testing will be determined by the SAP but will not be shorter than one (1) year or longer than five (5) years.

Voluntary Admittance: All employees who feel they have a problem with controlled substances

and/or alcohol may request voluntary admission to a rehabilitation program. Requests must be submitted to the General Manager or his/her designee for review. Program costs and subsequent controlled substance and/or alcohol-testing costs will be paid by the employee. An employee completing a rehabilitation program must agree to and sign a Return-To-Duty Agreement, pass a return-to-duty controlled substance and/or alcohol test and be subject to unannounced follow-up testing for thirty-six (36) months following return to duty. A positive result on the return-to-duty test or on the unannounced follow-up tests will result in termination from employment.

Participants in the rehabilitation program may use accumulated sick leave, vacation and floating holidays, if any.

D. NOTIFYING THE AGENCY OF CRIMINAL DRUG CONVICTION Pursuant to the Drug Free Workplac Agency of any criminal controlled substance statute conviction shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. E. PROPER APPLICATION OF THE POLICY The Agency is dedicated to assuring fair and equitable application of this Substance Abuse Policy. Therefore, supervisors are required to administer all aspects of the policy in an unbiased and impartial manner. Any supervisor who knowingly disregards the requirements of this policy, or who is found to deliberately misuse the policy with respect to his/her subordinates shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. F. TESTING FOR PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES

Analytical urine controlled substance testing and breath testing for alcohol will be conducted as required under DOT guidelines. All employees shall be subject to testing prior to employment and for reasonable suspicion. All safety-sensitive employees shall be subject to testing randomly and following an accident, as defined in the DOT guidelines. In addition, all safety-sensitive employees will be tested prior to returning to duty after failing a controlled substance and/or alcohol test. Employees who have returned to duty will be subject to unannounced follow-up tests for up to five (5) years, as determined by an SAP. Safety-sensitive employees who perform safety-sensitive functions as defined in the DOT guidelines shall also be subject to testing on a randomly selected and unannounced basis. Testing shall be conducted in a manner to assure a high degree of accuracy and reliability and using techniques, equipment, and laboratory facilities that have been approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including split-sample testing. All testing will be conducted consistent with the procedures put forth in the DOT guidelines. An initial controlled substance screen will be conducted on each specimen. For those specimens that are positive, a confirmatory Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) test will be performed. The test will be considered positive if the controlled substance levels present are above the minimum thresholds established in the DOT guidelines. Tests for alcohol concentration will be conducted utilizing an approved Evidential Breath Testing device (EBT) operated by a trained Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT). If the initial test indicated an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater, a confirmation test will be performed to confirm the result of the initial test. A safety-sensitive employee who has a confirmed alcohol concentration of 0.02, but less than 0.04 will be removed from his/her position for at least twenty-four (24) hours unless a retest results in an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or less. An alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater will be considered a positive alcohol test and in violation of DOT guidelines and this policy. Any employee who has a confirmed positive controlled substance or alcohol test will be removed from his/her position, informed of educational and rehabilitation programs available, and evaluated by an SAP. The Agency affirms the need to protect individual dignity, privacy and confidentiality throughout the testing process. Circumstances Under Which Employees May Be Tested Pre-Employment Testing All job applicants, who have been offered Agency employment, including current non-safety-sensitive employees who promote, demote or transfer to such positions, shall undergo urine controlled substance testing prior to employment. This testing may include additional substances listed in 49 CFR Part 382 for non-safety sensitive positions. Receipt of a satisfactory test result is required prior to employment and failure of a controlled substance test will disqualify the candidate from further consideration for employment. Current employees who promote, demote or transfer from non-safety-sensitive to safety-sensitive position shall test negative prior to assignment to a safety-sensitive classification. The Agency will obtain records from previous employers of new employees in conformance with DOT guidelines. Probationary employees who receive a positive alcohol and/or substance abuse test, or who fail to provide “clean” records from previous employers will fail to complete the Agency’s probationary period.

Reasonable Suspicion Testing All employees will be subject to urine and/or breath testing when there is a reason to believe that controlled substances or alcohol use is adversely affecting job performance. A reasonable suspicion referral for testing will be made on the basis of documented objective facts and circumstances that are consistent with the effects of substance abuse. Examples of reasonable suspicion include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Adequate documentation of unsatisfactory work performance or on-the-job behavior.

2. Physical signs and symptoms consistent with prohibited substance use.

3. Occurrence of a serious or potentially serious accident that may have been caused by human error.

4. Fights (i.e., physical contact), assaults and flagrant disregard or violations of established

safety, security, or other operational procedures. Reasonable suspicion determinations will be made by a supervisor who is trained to detect the signs and symptoms of controlled substance and alcohol use and who reasonably concludes that an employee may be adversely affected or impaired in his/her work performance due to prohibited substance abuse or misuse. Post-Accident Testing Safety-sensitive employees will be required to undergo controlled substance and/or breath alcohol testing if they are involved in an accident with a Agency vehicle that results in a fatality. This includes all safety-sensitive employees who are on duty in the vehicles. In addition, a post-accident test will be conducted if an accident results in injuries requiring transportation to a medical treatment facility; or where one or more vehicles incurs disabling damage that requires towing from the site; or the safety-sensitive employee receives a citation under State or local law for a moving traffic violation arising from the accident. Following an accident, the safety-sensitive employee will be tested as soon as possible, but not to exceed eight (8) hours for alcohol and thirty-two (32) hours for controlled substances. Any employee who leaves the scene of the accident without appropriate authorization prior to submission to controlled substance and alcohol testing will be considered to have refused the test and be subject to termination of employment. Post-accident testing of safety-sensitive employees will include not only the operation personnel, but also any other employees whose performance could have contributed to the accident. Random Testing Employees working in safety-sensitive classifications will be subjected to randomly selected, unannounced testing. The random selection will be by a scientifically valid method. Each safety-sensitive employee will have an equal chance of being tested each time selections are made. Safety-sensitive employees will be tested either just before departure, or during duty, or just after the safety-sensitive employee has ceased performing his/her duty. When safety-sensitive employees are off work due to long-term lay-offs, illness, injury, or vacation, the employee’s name will be placed back into the pool and another employee name selected.

The number of safety-sensitive employees selected for random testing will be the amount required in the DOT guidelines. Currently, 25% of the employee pool is tested for alcohol and 50% for substance abuse. The employee pool will either be all SFWP safety-sensitive employees or, if the Agency participates in a consortium of employers, all safety-sensitive employees within the consortium. Return-to-Duty Testing All employees who previously tested positive for a controlled substance or alcohol test must test negative and be evaluated and released to duty by the SAP before returning to duty. Employees will be required to undergo unannounced follow-up controlled substance and/or alcohol breath testing following returning to duty. The duration and frequency will be determined by the SAP. However, it shall not be less that six (6) tests during the first twelve (12) months, nor longer than sixty (60) months in total, following return to duty. Employee Requested Testing Any employee who questions the result of a required controlled substance test may request that an additional test be conducted. This additional test may be conducted at the same laboratory or at a different DHHS certified laboratory. The test must be conducted on the split sample that was provided at the same time as the original sample. All costs for such testing are to be paid by the employee unless the second test invalidated the original test. The method of collecting, storing, and testing the split sample will be consistent with the procedures set forth in the DOT guidelines. The safety-sensitive employee’s request for a retest must be made to the Medical Review Officer (MRO) within seventy-two (72) hours of notice of the initial test result. Requests after seventy-two (72) hours will only be accepted if the delay was due to documentable facts that were beyond the control of the employee. Records Retention The Agency shall maintain complete records of alcohol and/or controlled substance test results for each employee in a secure location with controlled access. Employee records are confidential and will be available to the DOT or any state or local officials with regulatory authority over the Agency or any of its drivers only. Records will be kept for a minimum of five (5) years regarding the following: driver alcohol tests; positive controlled substance tests; documentation on refusals to take alcohol or controlled substance tests; and, employee evaluations and referrals. Records will be kept for a minimum of two (2) years regarding the alcohol and controlled substance collection process. Records will be kept for a minimum of one (1) year regarding the following: collection process; collection logbooks; documents of random selection process; calibration documents for breath testing devise; and, documentation of breath alcohol technician training. G. EMPLOYEE ASSESSMENT Any employee who tests positive for the presence of controlled substances or whose breath alcohol concentration is above the minimum thresholds set forth in the DOT guidelines will be assessed by an SAP. An SAP is a Agency selected licensed physician, psychologist, social worker, employee assistance professional, or addiction counselor with knowledge of and clinically experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of drug and alcohol related disorders. The SAP will evaluate each employee to determine what assistance, if any, the employee needs in resolving problems associated with prohibited substance or alcohol abuse or misuse. If an employee is returned to duty following rehabilitation, he/she must agree to and sign a Return-to-Duty Agreement, pass a return-to-duty controlled substance and/or alcohol test and be subject to unannounced

follow-up tests for a period of one (1) to five (5) years, as determined by the SAP. The cost of any rehabilitation and subsequent controlled substance and/or alcohol testing is borne by the employee and is on a one-time basis only. An employee will be immediately terminated from employment on the occurrence of a second verified positive test result. Employees may use accumulated sick leave, vacation, administrative leave, personal necessity leave, and/or floating holidays, if any, to participate in the prescribed rehabilitation program. H. TEST RELATED TIME-OFF WORK PROVISIONS Any employee who is relieved from duty due to a positive drug or controlled substance test must use accumulated compensated leave (i.e., vacation, sick leave, administrative leave, personnel necessity leave or floating holidays, if any) during the regularly scheduled work time missed. If the employee has insufficient accumulated compensated leave to cover the regularly scheduled work time missed due to a positive alcohol or controlled substance test, such time shall be without pay. In the event there is a false positive test the Agency, upon verification, will compensate the employee for any regularly scheduled work time missed as a result thereof. I. CONTACT PERSON Any questions regarding this policy should be directed to the following Agency representative: Name: Michael Glaze Title: General Manager Address: P.O. Box 581 2310 Oro-Quincy Hwy, Oroville, CA 95965 Telephone: 916-533-4578 J. DEFINITIONS Accident - An unintended happening or mishap where there is loss of human life (regardless of fault), bodily injury or significant property damage. Alcohol - The intoxicating agent in beverage alcohol, ethyl alcohol or other low molecular weight alcohol including methyl or isopropyl alcohol. Alcohol Concentration - The alcohol in a volume of breath expressed in terms of grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath as indicated by an evidential breath test under this policy (e.g., 0.02 means 0.02 grams of alcohol in 210 liters of expired deep lung air). Alcohol Use - Consumption of any beverage, mixture, or preparation, including any medication containing ethyl alcohol. Since ingestion of a given amount of alcohol produces the same alcohol concentration in an individual whether the alcohol comes from a mixed drink or cough syrup, the DOT prohibits the use of any substance containing alcohol, such as prescription or over-the-counter medication or liquor-filled chocolates. Prescription medications containing alcohol may have a greater impairing effect due to the presence of other elements (e.g., antihistamines). Breathe Alcohol Technician (BAT) - A person trained to proficiency in the operation of the Evidential Breath Testing (EBT) device that the technician is using in the alcohol testing procedures. BAT’s are the only qualified personnel to administer the EBT tests. Chain of Custody - The procedures to account for the integrity of each urine specimen by tracking its handling and storage from point of collection to final disposition. Collection Site - A place designated by the Agency where individuals present themselves for the purpose of providing a specimen of urine and/or breath.

Commercial Motor Vehicle - A motor vehicle, or combination of motor vehicles used in commerce to transport passengers or property if the motor vehicle: (1) has a gross combination weight ratio of 26,001 or more pounds inclusive of a towed unit with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 10,000 pounds; or, (2) has a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 or more pounds; or, (3) is designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver; or, (4) is of any size and is used in the transportation of materials found to be hazardous for the purposes of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act and which require the motor vehicle to be placarded under the Hazardous Materials Regulations. Confirmation Test - For alcohol testing, a second test following a screening test with a result of 0.02 or greater that provides quantitative data of alcohol concentration. For controlled substances testing this is a second analytical procedure to identify the presence of a specific drug or metabolite which is independent of the screen test and which uses a different technique and chemical principle from that of the screen test in order to ensure reliability and accuracy. (Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (CG/MS) is the only authorized confirmation method of cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine.) Controlled Substance (Drug) Test - A method of detecting and measuring the presence of alcohol and other controlled substances, whether legal or illegal, in a person’s body. A controlled substance test may be either an initial test or confirmation test. An initial controlled substance test is designed to identify specimens having concentrations of a particular class of drug above a specified concentration level. It eliminates negative specimens from further consideration. Controlled substances will be tested under the current DHHS guidelines. The primary (initial or screening) controlled substance test thresholds (subject to change based on DHHS guidelines) for a verified positive test result are those that are equal to or greater than:

Marijuana Metabolites 50 ng/ml Cocaine Metabolites 300 ng/ml Phencyclidine (PCP) 25 ng/ml Opiates Metabolites1 300 ng/ml

A confirmation drug testing is a second analytical procedure to detect the presence of a specific drug or its metabolite. The confirmation procedure is conducted independent of the initial test and uses a different technique and chemical principle in order to confirm reliability and accuracy. The confirmatory controlled substance test thresholds for a verified positive test result are those that are equal to or greater than:

Marijuana Metabolite (THC)2 15 ng/ml Cocaine Metabolite3 150 ng/ml

125 ng/ml if immunoassay

2Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid

3Benzoylecgonine

Evidential Breath Testing Device (EBT) - The device to be used for breath alcohol testing. Medical Review Officer (MRO) - A licensed physician responsible for analyzing laboratory results generated by the Agency’s substance abuse policy testing program. The MRO is knowledgeable about substance abuse disorders and has appropriate medical training to interpret and evaluate positive test results. Performing (Safety-Sensitive Function) - A safety-sensitive employee is considered to be performing a safety-sensitive function and includes any period in which the safety-sensitive employee is actually performing, ready to perform, or immediately available to perform such functions. Post-Accident Alcohol and/or Controlled Substance Testing - Testing conducted after accidents on employees whose performance could have contributed to the accident. For drivers this is determined by a citation for a moving traffic violation and for all fatal accidents even if the driver is not cited for a moving traffic violation. See “Accident.” Pre-Employment Controlled Substance Testing - Testing conducted after an offer to hire has been extended to a job applicant, but before actually performing Agency functions as an employee. Also required when employees transfer to a safety-sensitive position. Prohibited Drugs (Controlled Substances) - Marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, or phencyclidine.

Vehicle - Bus, electric bus, van, automobile, rail car, trolley car, trolley bus, or vessel used for mass transportation.

SECTION II - PROCEDURES A. REASONABLE SUSPICION TESTING 1. An employee who may possibly be under the influence of alcohol and/or controlled substances is

observed by a supervisor.

Any employee may identify someone suspected of alcohol and/or controlled substance abuse to any supervisor (employees should realize, however, that it is against Agency policy to make false

or malicious statements about other employees and doing so can result in disciplinary action). The supervisor must witness first-hand the employee’s signs and symptoms.

2. The supervisor is then obligated to ensure that the matter is immediately investigated. If possible,

two supervisors determine (independently or together) that the employee in question may be under the influence of alcohol and/or controlled substances.

3. When the supervisor(s) suspect and believe that the employee may be under the influence of

alcohol and/or controlled substances, the employee is then immediately suspended from duty (with pay) and driven by a Agency employee (or others designated) to the Agency specified collection site. Because of a testing facility requirement, the employee in question must show proof of identification, such as a driver’s license photo or state-issued photo identification card.

Whenever practical, the General Manager (or his/her designee) should be notified in advance of the employee being taken to the collection site.

4. At the collection site, the employee will be required to submit a urine sample in the event that

controlled substances are suspected, or a breath sample in the event that alcohol intoxication is suspected by the on-duty technician. Care will be taken to provide the employee with maximum privacy without compromising the integrity of the sample.

5. The Agency will take precautions to prevent the employee being tested from going back to work

and driving their own car home if any of the tests are positive. Instead, the employee will be taken home from the collection by a Agency employee (or others designated).

6. The employee whose test results are negative (0.02 alcohol concentration or less) will be

reinstated immediately. The employee whose confirmation test results indicate an alcohol concentration greater that 0.02 but less than 0.04, will not be permitted to return to duty or perform a safety-sensitive function for twenty-four (24) hours after administration of the test. The employee whose confirmation test result indicates an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater for alcohol will be referred to a Agency specified SAP who will assess the employee’s condition and make a recommendation for treatment that, if accepted by the Agency, must be followed by the employee. Failure to follow the accepted recommendations or refusal to submit to return-to-duty and unannounced follow-up testing will result in the employee’s termination of employment.

7. The employee whose controlled substance test results are verified negative will be reinstated

immediately. The employee whose controlled substance test is verified positive by the Medical Review Officer will be referred to a Agency specified SAP who will assess the employee’s condition and make a recommendation for treatment which, if accepted by the Agency, must be followed by the employee. Failure to follow the accepted recommendations or refusal to submit to return-to-duty and unannounced follow-up testing will result in the employee’s termination of employment.

B. RANDOM TESTING

1. The compliance company (initially Oroville Industrial Medicine) notifies the General Manager or his

designee, who in turn notifies the supervisor to send the safety-sensitive employee to the collection site for alcohol and/or controlled substance testing.

2. The supervisor notifies the safety-sensitive employee to go to the collection site for alcohol and/or

controlled substance testing immediately. Because of a testing facility requirement, the safety-sensitive employee sent to the collection site must have proof of identification, such as a driver’s license photo or state-issued photo identification card.

3. At the collection site, the safety-sensitive employee will be required to submit a urine sample (in the

event that controlled substances are to be tested for) or a breath sample (in the event that alcohol is being tested for) to the on-duty technician. Care will be taken to provide the safety-sensitive employee with maximum privacy without compromising the integrity of the sample.

4. The safety-sensitive employee whose test results are negative (0.02 alcohol concentration or less)

will be released to return to work. The safety-sensitive employee whose confirmation test results indicate an alcohol concentration greater than 0.02 but less than 0.04, will not be permitted to return to duty or perform a safety-sensitive function for 24 hours after administration of the test. The safety-sensitive employee whose confirmation test result indicates an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater will be referred to a Agency specified SAP who will assess the safety-sensitive employee's condition and make a recommendation for treatment that, if accepted by the Agency, must be followed by the safety-sensitive employee. Failure to follow the accepted recommendations or refusal to submit to return-to-duty and unannounced follow-up testing will result in the safety-sensitive employee’s termination of employment.

5. The safety-sensitive employee whose controlled substance test results are verified negative will be

released to return to work. The safety-sensitive employee whose controlled substance test is verified positive by the Medical Review Officer will be referred to a Agency specified SAP who will assess the safety-sensitive employee’s condition and make a recommendation for treatment which, if accepted by the Agency, must be followed by the safety-sensitive employee. Failure to follow the accepted recommendations or refusal to submit to return-to-duty and unannounced follow-up testing will result in the safety-sensitive employee’s termination of employment.

C. POST-ACCIDENT 1. The safety-sensitive employee notifies a supervisor than an accident has occurred. 2. The supervisor determines that the circumstances of the accident warrant a post-accident test

when a citation was issued or a fatality occurred. Thereafter, the supervisor directs the safety-sensitive employee to immediately go to the collection site for alcohol and controlled substance testing. Because of a testing facility requirement, the safety-sensitive employee in question must have proof of identification, such as a driver’s license photo or state-issued photo identification card.

3. At the collection site, the safety-sensitive employee will be required to submit a urine sample for

controlled substances and a breath sample for alcohol testing to the on-duty technician. Care will

be taken to provide the safety-sensitive employee with maximum privacy without compromising the integrity of the sample.

4. The General Manager (or his/her designee) will be notified that an accident has occurred and that

the safety-sensitive employee was instructed to go to the collection site. 5. The safety-sensitive employee whose test results are negative (0.02 alcohol concentration or less)

will be released to return to work. The safety-sensitive employee whose confirmation test results indicate an alcohol concentration greater than 0.02 but less than 0.04, will not be permitted to return to duty or perform a safety-sensitive function for 24 hours after administration of the test. The safety-sensitive employee whose confirmation test result indicates an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater will be referred to a Agency specified SAP who will assess the safety-sensitive employee’s condition and make a recommendation for treatment that, if accepted by the Agency, must be followed by the safety-sensitive employee. Failure to follow the accepted recommendations or refusal to submit to return-to-duty and unannounced follow-up testing will result in the safety-sensitive employee’s termination.

6. The safety-sensitive employee whose controlled substance test results are verified negative will be

released to return to work. The safety-sensitive employee whose controlled substance test is verified positive by the Medical Review Officer will be referred to a Agency specified SAP who will assess the safety-sensitive employee’s condition and make a recommendation for treatment which, if accepted by the Agency, must be followed by the safety-sensitive employee. Failure to follow the accepted recommendations or refusal to submit to return-to-duty and unannounced follow-up testing will result in the safety-sensitive employee’s termination of employment.

D. RETURN-TO-DUTY and FOLLOW-UP 1. The compliance company notifies the Agency to send the employee to the collection site for

alcohol and controlled substance testing. 2. The supervisor notifies the employee to immediately go to the collection site for alcohol and

controlled substance testing. Because of a testing facility requirement, the employee in question must have proof of identification, such as a driver’s license photo or state-issued photo identification card.

3. At the collection site, the safety-sensitive employee will be required to submit a urine sample for

controlled substances and a breath sample for alcohol testing to the on-duty technician. Care will be taken to provide the safety-sensitive employee with maximum privacy without compromising the integrity of the sample.

4. The employee whose confirmation test results indicate an alcohol concentration greater than 0.02,

or whose controlled substance test is verified positive will be terminated from employment. E. CHAIN OF CUSTODY FOR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE SPECIMENS

1. At the time a specimen is collected, the employee will be given a copy of the specimen collection

procedures. 2. Urine will be in a wide-mouthed clinic specimen container which will remain in full view of the

employee until split, transferred to, sealed and initialed in two tamper-resistant urine bottles. 3. Immediately after the specimens are collected, the urine bottles will, in the presence of the

employee, be labeled and then initialed by the employee. If the sample must be collected at the site other than the controlled substance and/or alcohol-testing laboratory, the specimens will then be placed in the transportation container. The container will be sealed in the employee’s presence and the employee will be asked to initial or sign the container. The container will be sent to the designated testing laboratory on that day or the earliest business day by the fastest available method.

4. A chain of custody form will be completed by the on-duty technician during the specimen collection

process and attached to and mailed with the specimen. F. SPECIMEN COLLECTION OF STRANGE AND/OR UNRECOGNIZABLE SUBSTANCES 1. An employee is observed with a strange and/or unrecognizable substance. 2. The supervisor, in the presence of a witness, places the strange and/or unrecognizable substance

into a clear plastic bag. The bag is sealed, labeled and signed by both the supervisor and the witness.

3. An incident report is written by the supervisor and signed by both the supervisor and the witness. 4. The plastic bag containing the specimen and a copy of the incident report is taken to the collection

site for transportation to the laboratory for analysis. G. ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION 1. The employee and the on-duty Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT) complete the alcohol testing form

to ensure that the results are properly recorded. 2. After an explanation of how the breathalyzer works, an initial breath sample is taken. 3. If the results of the initial test show an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or greater, a second or

confirmation test must be conducted. The confirmation test must not be conducted less than fifteen (15) minutes after or more than twenty (20) minutes after the screening test.

4. The confirmation test will utilize Evidential Breath Testing (EBT) devices that print out the results,

date and time, a sequential test number, and the name and serial number of the EBT device to ensure the reliability of the results.

H. DEVIATIONS FROM PROCEDURES

Unless otherwise provided in DOT guidelines, deviations from the foregoing procedures shall not invalidate the results of any prohibited substance tests verified positive by the Medical Review Officer.

VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION IN RANDOM TESTING

In accordance with Appendix A of the Agency’s Substance Abuse Policy my classification is not considered safety-sensitive. Therefore, I am not required to participate in the random testing for controlled substances, even though I have a Class A or Class B (commercial) drivers license. However, for the convenience of the Agency, and because I would like to have the opportunity to operate Agency vehicles and equipment requiring a commercial license, designated as safety-sensitive functions in the Agency’s policy, I hereby request that I be included - during the current calendar year - in the pool of safety-sensitive employees for the purpose of controlled substance random testing, in conformance with the Agency’s Substance Abuse Policy.
