FINAL for 3/27/08 Meeting	MPWMD Comparative Matrix, Part II, Desalination Projects
DECISION ELEMENT	Seawater Conversion Vessel
PROPONENT/SPONSOR	Water Standard Company
PROJECT DESCRIPTION	Completely self contained seawater desalination treatment plant installed on a ship. Electrical energy and propulsion will be provided by gas turbine engines fueled with Biodiesel.  No seabed intake or outfall lines are required.  Water produced on the ship will be  shuttled to shore as required. Facilities required to distribute the water to customers on shore are unknown at this time but could be assumed to be similar to those required in the other alternatives. Size of project is unknown but assumed to be 20 MGD (approx. 22,000 AFY). Costs provided for 18 MGD project yield (approx. 20,000 AFY).
Pilot Project	None planned. State currently requires pilot plants but that requirement was written around land based facilities. WSC sees no need to pilot the process since we have over 2,000 ships currently successfully treating seawater. Issues needs to be discussed with the State DOHS.
PROJECT YIELD	10 MGD - 75 MGD.  Actual yield to be based on commitments of purveyor customers
Comply with Order 95-10? Water for Seaside Basin?	Yes, and can easily meet all future needs
Future Monterey Peninsula Needs?	Could easily be sized for all future needs
Future Non-Monterey Peninsula Needs	Could easily be sized for all future needs
TOTAL YIELD	Could easily be sized for all future needs
Yield Phasing to Monterey Peninsula	Phasing will be based on demands. Larger size initially is better.

COST TO PENINSULA
Share of total project cost
How share determined
Cost sharing of existing vs. future Cal-Am ratepayers
Cost of Water ($/AF)	Cost of water produced on the SCV estimated to be less than $1,000 AF.  Costs for required distribution and pumping unknown.  B-E/GEI:  $1,550 (subsidized fuel) - $1,770 (unsubsidized fuel).  Based on 18 MGD yield (approx. 20,000 AFY).
Impact to Cal-Am Bill	N/A
FINANCING ASSUMPTIONS	WSC funding can be used. Prefer a public private partnership with MPWMD
Interest rate (%)	80% at 7% interest and 20% at 12% if private, 7% if municipal.        B-E/GEI: 7%
Term (yrs)	20 years if private, 30 yrs if municipal.  B-E/GEI: 30 years
Public vote required?
Grants (describe)	Office of Emergency Services or other Homeland Security funding should be looked into. WSC has not done that.

PERMITS/REGS
Federal Agencies	Same as land based facility except Coast guard must review operational plans.
EIS needed?
Fed lead agency?	To be determined, if needed.
Sanctuary approval?	Permit will be required. Not applied for yet.

SITE CONTROL
Confirmed site?	Location doesn’t really matter for the SCV itself. Shuttle ship off loading site must be selected depending on who the customers are.
Alternative sites and projects?	No restrictions. No land required. SCV can be located anywhere.
OPERATIONS/OTHER
Technical, Managerial and Financial Capabilities (TMF) to meet DHS standards	Assume implementing entity would operate desal plant with MPWMD oversight.
Back-up; water production interruptions (e.g., power or intake water)	Redundant treatment equipment per State codes; back-up gas turbine planned
PROJECT PARTICIPANTS
Overview	Willing to expand plant to meet needs of others such as FORA, MCWD and Monterey Peninsula. Shuttle ship concept may allow cities up and down the coast to participate.
