the calendar year. Mr. Dolan suggested that the public be adiised of a
proposed increase in the annexation charge to $l,OOO/acre, effective
January 1, 1979, and a public hearing date set to receive public comments
and further consider the matter.

WATERSHED 35 SOUTH (SYCAMORE VALLEY) TRUNK CHARGE, SERVICE CONDITIONS
AND AGREEMENT WITH BLACKHAWK DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
5.
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, called upon Mr. Dalton,
Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer to brief the Board on the Watershed
35 South Project.
Mr. Dalton advised that the central segment of the trunk sewer for
the Sycamore Valley has been designed by the District and is ready for
construction by Blackhawk Development Company subject to the establishment
of a new trunk charge. The new trunk will be built in three stages.
The first stage is the most expensive and will be limited to a downstream
capacity of 1100 units after which time the second stage must be constructed
08

prior to further connections. The third stage is a future easterly
extension and involving properties both within and outside the present
District boundaries. With the changing land use patterns and inflation,
it is imperative that the watershed plan be restudied and new charges
adopted. Mr. Dalton introduced figures showing a rough estimate of sewer
costs and of future connections in order to establish a basis for policy
and procedure in this particular watershed. Discussion followed.
Present in the audience was
Blackhawk, who commented that he
examine the costs relating to to
study them. The Board agreed to
financing and construction.

After further discussion, it was moved by Member Campbell, seconded
by Member Rustigian, that the following staff recommendations be approved:
1) Increase Watershed 35 South Charge from $300 to $1,000 per
residential unit with a minimum of $2,000 per acre for developed non-
residential uses with the understanding the staff will review and confirm
the actual costs and that should the estimates prove to be out of line,
staff will ask for corrections.
2) Adopt a policy that no annexations will be accepted in Watershed
35 So., without guarantee of prepayment of watershed trunk charges or
installation of needed ultimate facilities, and that no service will be
provided outside of present District boundary until planned facilites
are installed downstream of the property seeking service.
3) Adopt a policy that property owners outside of District's
sphere of influence will be required to arrange changes in said sphere
of influence with the District's concurrence either by direct petition
to LAFC or through the intervention of a public agency other than CCCSD.
4) Upon adoption of the above recommendations, authorize management
to notify affected property owners in Watershed 35 So. of the conditions
of annexation and service.

REPORTS
1.
a. Plans for Camino Tassajara - Sycamore Valley trunk sewer,
Watershed 35S) are near completion and ready to turn over to Blackhawk
Development Company for construction. They have indicated that they
will arrange the contract with their other sewer work, rather than go to
separate bid.
b. The Ferry Street parallel sewer project has been awarded.
Diablo Road trunk (WS 35N) was awarded earlier in the meeting, and bids
will be received on the Stewart Avenue parallel sewer (WS 29S) at the
end of the month. The above projects, together with the trunk sewer
projects on Oak Park Boulevard (WS 23) and San Ramon Summit (WS 33S) and
the trunk relocation on State Highway 4 constitute almost the total 1978
capital program for sewers.
c. Routine preventive maintenance procedures were carried out last
month with no unusual incidents.
d. The average daily flow at the Treatment Plant for the month of
July was 28.3 MGD, and is meeting the NPDES standards with minor deviations.

e. Mr. Dolan advised that the Risk Management Audit has been
received from Warren, McVeigh & Griffin and is now being reviewed by
staff.
f. Mr. Dolan advised that EPA's concern over the Bechtel Audit has
now been resolved and EPA has indicated that a limited inspection of
Bechtel's records would be sufficient and would be acceptable to Bechtel.
g. Mr. Dolan advised that it is anticipated the RWQCB will approve
the increase of plant capacity to 35 MGD at their meeting of August 15.
h. Mr. Dolan indicated that we received the property tax revenue
and it is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $1,800,000.
i. Mr. Dolan commented on our annexation policy and the EPA's
position regarding the issue. EPA will require Central San to develop a
program to mitigate the air quality impact related to the 5B expansion.
This is a reversal of the position Central San had understood whereby
the "208 Plan" Air Quality Maintenance Plan would be acceptable to the
EPA and, therefore, Central San would not be required to do any specific
air quality planning for our service area. He expressed concern that
the EPA might apply "Simi Valley" conditions.
Mr. Dolan continued by stating that the State issued a grant offer
last April, however, there were unresolved issues of eligibility, and
therefore, Central San did not accept the grant until pending clarification
of the issues involved.
j. Mr. Dolan reported on the status of the dry scrubbers. He also
reported that there is an increasing amount of sludge building up at the
plant in the process stream due to the lack of an adequate solids handling
procedure.
It was felt that the best approach towards solving this problem
would be to have Brown and Caldwell put an engineèr in the plant on shift
with the assignment to develop some operating guidelines for decreasing
the sludge inventory and resolving other operating problems relating to
lime handling and odor production.
k. Mr. Dolan reported that he has a meeting scheduled with Mr.
Boyd Olney of Pleasant Hill-Bayshore Disposal regarding his request for
a rate increase and asked for guidelines from the Board as to what
position staff should take in this matter.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that since Mr.
Olney's books are so complicated, it would be acceptable to the Board if
he would furnish a cost estimate or supportive data as to the cost of
providing the collection service in support of his request for a rate
increase.

to fill the vacancy~ and it would be advisable to fill it prior to that
date. Board Members discussed the procedures they would like to consider
in appointing a new member.
c. President Allan advised that he had been contacted by Mr. Blake
about odors on Highway 4. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer,
indicated that staff has followed up on the complaints. Reacting to
the odor problem, the plant personnel have made a number of operational
improvements which have reduced the problem.
d. Member Campbell queried Mr. Carniato as to the status of
remaining matters being handled by Mr. John Bohn, retired District
Counsel. Mr. Carniato,advised that he would check into these matters
and follow up on any that are outstanding.
