REVIEW OF EIR-EIS FOR PROJECT 5B
After a brief review on EIR/EIS procedure by Mr. Dalton, Deputy General
Manager-Chief Engineer, Messrs. Jerry B. Gilbert and Perry Schafer of
J. B. Gilbert and Associates were introduced to the Board.
Mr. Gilbert advised the Board Members that due to the increased cost of
printing and increased EPA requirements, the cost of completing the ErR/ErS
will go up by an additional $39,000.
Mr. Schafer, Project Engineer coordinating the ErR/ErS with EPA, stated
that the preliminary draft was submitted to EPA in April and should be
returned with their comments by June 1, at which time the draft will be
printed on or about July 13 for distribution by August 3. This schedule
will provide opportunity for the District Board to hold study sessions
on this subject prior to the puDlic hearing date of September 7. The
EIR/EIS should be finalized during December of this year.
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the
District is anxious to get the EIR/EIS to the State for concept approval.
The final EIR/ErS will be approved by EPA, however, the State can approve
the Grant for Stage 2 Design, prior to final approval. Thus far the
Board has authorized $145,000 for this project and the District has expended
$130,000 to date; therefore, staff is requesting an additional authorization
of $24,000 to make up the estimated $39,000.
After further discussion, it was moved by Member Allan, seconded by
Member Gibbs, that an additional $24,000 be authorized for the printing,
distribution and comp1et~on of the EIR/ErS bringing the total amount
authorized to $169,000. Motion carried by the following vote:

Board Members expressed concern about adopting the complex program
without further hearings. The basic concern is in regard to the charges
applicable to certain commercial and industrial users.
After further discussion and deliberation, it was the concensus of
the Board that the residential users should be separated from the commercial
and industrial users for the 1976-1977 billing.
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, advised the Board
that in order for the District to get this charge on the tax roll, the
District must adopt the Ordinance by July 1, and since there are no rates
shown on the Ordinance, it will be valid for all users. However, there
will have to be separate resolutions prepared for residential users and
for commercial and industrial users.
A public hearing was scheduled by the Board on the merits of collecting
the Residential Environmental Quality Charges on the county tax bill, for
June 10,1976 at 7:30 P.M. at the Board of Supervisors' Chambers in Martinez.
After additional discussion, it was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by
Member Mitchell, that Ordinance No. 117 be adopted and shall be a general
regulation of the District and shall be published once in the Contra Costa
Times, a newspaper of general circulation, published and circulated in Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District and shall be effective upon expiration of the
week of publication.

AUTHORIZATION OF $3,000 FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWENTY-INCH BUTTERFLY VALVE
FOR THE PHASE II CONTRACT
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that a
direct drainage system from the clearwell to the outfall had not been
stipulated on the Phase II contract; however, provisions for a direct
connection are being provided by change order. The contractor would
normally purchase, connect and install the valve but due to the nearness
of the completion date, it would be in the best interest of the District
to purchase the valve and install it with District forces at a later date,
thereby avoiding any additional contractual expenses.
It was moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by Member Mitchell, that
authorization to purchase a twenty-inch butterfly valve for the Phase II
contract be approved. Motion carried by the following vote:
