Cal. HSC § 51475 — California Code / Code hsc / Division 31 / Part 3 / Chapter 10 / Section 51475
Section 51475
Status: in_force

(a)  The Legislature finds and declares:

(1)  Significant amounts of housing built to serve lower income households and families is disappearing from the housing market. This phenomenon is due to government policies that allow prepayment of mortgages, termination of use restrictions and nonrenewal of subsidy contracts and to changes in market forces which increase property values and create pressure to convert to middle or upper income housing or other commercial uses. These conversions displace lower income tenants who have very limited options for relocating in comparable affordable housing.

(2)  There are nearly 2,000 rental housing projects built in this state prior to 1980 under Section 236, Section 221(d)(3) and Section 8 programs of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Section 515 Program of the federal Farmers’ Home Administration, containing approximately 123,000 units subject to potential conversion to higher market rent housing or condominium units which will result in the displacement of lower income tenants.

(3)  It is in the public interest to preserve and expand our existing affordable lower income housing stock.

(b)  It is the intent of the Legislature to provide a flexible and expeditious source of mortgage financing for bridge loans and gap financing to preserve and expand existing afforable lower income rental housing stock.

The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(a) In February 2009, the state board unanimously adopted, as Resolution No. 2009-0011, an updated water recycling policy, which includes the goal of increasing the use of recycled water in the state over 2002 levels by at least 1,000,000 acre-feet per year by 2020 and by at least 2,000,000 acre-feet per year by 2030.

(b) Section 13521 requires the department to establish uniform statewide recycling criteria for each varying type of use of recycled water where the use involves the protection of public health.

(c) Achievement of the state’s goals depends on the timely development of uniform statewide recycling criteria for potable water reuse and of a clear pathway for approval of potable reuse projects.

(d) This chapter is not intended to delay, invalidate, or reverse any study or project, or development of regulations by the department, the state board, or the regional boards regarding the use of recycled water for potable reuse.

(e) This chapter shall not be construed to delay, invalidate, or reverse the state board’s ongoing review of projects consistent with Section 116551 of the Health and Safety Code.

(g) It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage the development of potable reuse to mitigate the impact of long-term drought and climate change.

(h) A 2014 report by the WateReuse Research Foundation, “The Opportunities and Economics of Direct Potable Reuse” found that potable reuse could provide up to 1.1 million acre-feet per year of new drinking water supplies for California.

(i) The state board adopted uniform water recycling criteria for the replenishment of groundwater basins in June 2014 and is developing uniform water recycling criteria for the augmentation of surface water reservoirs pursuant to Section 13562.

(j) The state board report to the Legislature, “Investigation on the Feasibility of Developing Uniform Water Recycling Criteria for Direct Potable Reuse,” found that it is feasible to develop uniform water recycling criteria for direct potable reuse that is protective of public health.

(k) The state board report to the Legislature stated that the state board should develop a common framework across various types of direct potable reuse projects to help avoid discontinuities in the risk assessment and then sequentially develop uniform water recycling criteria.
