a.
10. REPORTS
GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER
3)
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the Tassajara Valley
General Plan Amendment was placed on the agenda for an update to the
Board on activities in the Tassajara Valley. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. David
R. Williams, Planning Division Manager, who reported that a Notice of
Preparation (NOP) on the Tassajara Valley General Plan Amendment was
received from the Contra Costa County Community Development
Department as part of the California Environmental Quality Act (CECA)
process. The District will comment as a responsible agency. Mr. Williams
used overheads to describe the Tassajara Valley planning area and vicinity.
The NOP identifies the District as a proposed service provider and proposes
to change the General Plan from Agricultural to Single Family Residential,
Multi-family Residential, Office/Commercial, Public/Semi-public,
Parks/Recreation, and Open Space; rezone to Planned Unit District (P-1);
and approve the Preliminary Development Plan. The peak wet weather flow
for the planned development will be 5 mgd. In comparison, Dougherty
Valley peak wet weather flow is estimated to be approximately 9 mgd. Mr.
Williams described the study area and drainage, reviewed the CECA
\
process, and the opportunities for the District to comment as a responsible
agency throughout that process. Mr. Williams reviewed the preliminary
sewer service alternatives involving the District and Dublin San Ramon
Services District identified in the NqP and the impacts on District
interceptors, trunks, mains and pumping stations and other potential
06
03
93
120
impacts on the District. Any upgrades to mains and pumping stations
required would be the responsibility of the developer.
The proposed number of units in the Tassajara Valley and the Dougherty
Valley, and the potential for water reclamation were discussed.
Mr. Williams reviewed the proposed comments on the NOP including:
.
The District is responsible for sewerage facilities planning, design and
construction
.
Study area will require Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)
and Board approval for annexation
.
Standard Sewer Requirements:
Gravity sewers preferred
Developer pays for project sewers and pumping stations
Equalization may be required at pumping stations
Preference for sewers in streets
Easements required where needed
Funding entity needed for pumping stations
.
Private Sewer Criteria
.
Off-site Capacity Issues
.
Hillside and Creek Policy
.
Source Control Requirements
.
Treatment Plant Capacity 45 mgd
.
Need to Accommodate Area 9.02
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that staff would
normally respond directly to the NOP as outlined by Mr. Williams. Unless
the Board directs otherwise, staff will submit the comments described
above. The Board concurred. Copies of the overheads used in Mr.
Williams' presentation and the comments on the NOP will be provided to the
Board.
4)
Mr. David R. Williams, Planning Division Manager, stated that at a recent
Board Meeting the status of the Gateway Valley Project in the Orinda area
was reviewed. Mr. Williams reported that after several meetings
deliberating on the project, on May 26, 1993, the Orinda City Council
approved 271 homes, an 18-hole golf course and a 260-room conference
center. Dual piping for recycled water was required. An on-site water
reclamation plant was not required, but would be allowed if requested by
East Bay Municipal Utility District or Central Contra Costa Sanitary District.
President Clausen thanked Mr. Williams for the updates, and reverted to the order of the
agenda.

5. SOLID WASTE
a.
PRESENTATION BY LOUISE AIELLO. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY AB 939
PROGRAM DIRECTOR. ON COUNTY'S SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING BUDGET
Ms. Louise Aiello, Contra Costa County AB 939 Program Director, thanked the Board for
their patience indicating that County staff has been very busy completing the County
Integrated Waste Management Plan (CoIWMP) and the draft Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) on the Plan. Ms. Aiello distributed a three-page document summarizing AB 939
Program revenues and expenditures. Ms. Aiello stated that the document may not
address all of the Board's questions because some of the Acme and Keller Canyon rates
are still handled by the County Administrator's Office and have not been transferred to
the Community Development Department. Ms. Aiello stated that $.95/ton is collected
on the Keller Canyon Landfill fee. Of that, $.15/ton is retained by the County and
$.80/ton is returned to the cities based on a formula approved by the cities. It is
estimated that the County portion of $.15/ton has generated approximately $110,000 per
year for the last three years, or $330,000. The West County cities do not receive any
of this revenue because they do not participate in the total tonnage generated or dumped
at Keller Canyon Landfill.
Ms. Aiello reviewed the estimated expenditures for the AB 939 Task Force work totaling
$293,500 as detailed on the first page of the document distributed to the Board. Ms.
Aiello stated that staff costs for the AB 939 Task Force are estimated to be $400,000
for the period 1990-1993. As of June 1, 1 993, there are two full-time employees in the
Community Development Department and one contract person dedicated to this work.
In addition, there is a full-time employee in the County Health Department working on the
household hazardous waste program. Ms. Aiello stated that the ColWMP and EIR are
now completed so staff time and charges will be minimal in the future. The County
dipped into the Resource Recovery Fee revenues to cover this cost. It was necessary to
rewrite the ColWMP based on the comments submitted by cities and the County was
required to draft an additional element added by the State.
Ms. Aiello highlighted the Resource Recovery Programs and estimated costs as set forth
on page 2 of the handout. Ms. Aiello stated that the education/public information hotline
is a wealth of information including the status of programs in nearby areas.
The Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) line item of $100,000 covers the
County lead agency costs, and the cost of a consultant's work identifying and working
with businesses. The County would like to increase this line item to help jump start
businesses and provide grant money or matching funds.
With regard to the Vocational Training Program line item of $78,000, Member Hockett
questioned the County's relationship with the community colleges and vocational training
programs. Ms. Aiello described the Diablo Valley College and Contra Costa College
recycling certification programs.
In response to questions from President Clausen, Ms. Aiello stated that the Resource
Recovery Fee is a Land Use Permit fee totalling approximately $100,000 annually from
Acme and approximately $300,000 annually from Keller Canyon Landfill, or approximately
$.50/ton. Ms. Aiello stated that the three County fees of $2/ton each are based on
250,000 tons a year. In addition, there is a $.90/ton fee for the Local Enforcement
Agency, a $.75/ton California Integrated Waste Management Board fee, a $.75/ton
Delaine Eastin State fee for hazardous waste clean up, and a $3.85/ton (10 percent)
County franchise fee. In response to a question from Member Rainey, Ms. Aiello stated
that $535,000 of the County $3.85/ton franchise fee was allocated to the General
Services Department for the expansion of the recycling center. All general assistance
clients must now go through a training program at the recycling center. Member Rainey
asked if the proceeds from the three $ 2/ton fees earmarked for the Transportation Trust
Fund $500,000 program, the Open Space/Agriculture Trust Fund $500,000 program, and
the Community Assistance Trust Fund $500,000 program have actually been expended.
Ms. Aiello stated that these are program allocations not actual expenses. In response to
a question from Member Hockett, Ms. Aiello stated that funds may not actually have been
expended for youth recreation because the funds were used for litter control. In response
to a question from Mr. Dolan, Ms. Aiello stated that the Resource Recovery Programs
06
03
93
122
listed on page 2 have been outlined to help the County reach the 25 percent and 50
percent AB 939 goals but none are externally mandated.
Mr. Dolan stated that a letter was received that indicated that the Acme transfer station
could cut $6.97 out of its rate if the County would agree to remove the $6/ton
surcharges at the Keller Canyon Landfill. Mr. Dolan suggested that the County may wish
to go in immediately and determine where the efficiencies would be derived and
implement the decreases in the rate, particularly with regard to the BFI haul contract
because it appears to be a related party transaction.
President Clausen thanked Ms. Aiello for the information provided, but stated that a
number of questions remain unanswered. President Clausen suggested that this matter
be referred to District staff for summarization and to the appropriate Board Committee if
needed, and then brought back to the full Board for further discussion.
Member Rainey inquired as to the total revenues received by the County. Ms. Aiello
stated that she would be happy to go back and get additional information. With regard
to Mr. Dolan's comments concerning lowering the rates and the investigation of the
hauling contract, Ms. Aiello stated that the Community Development Department is
beginning that process and that request will be conveyed to them.
Mr. Kenton L. Aim, Counsel for the District, stated that many different estimates of
tonnage have been used for different purposes. Mr. Aim asked Ms. Aiello if she had a
sense of the actual tonnage. Ms. Aiello stated that the tonnage is higher on certain days
and is dependant on whether the haulers are going elsewhere, but her sense is that the
actual tonnage is higher than estimated. Mr. Lee Walton, General Manager of Acme Fill,
stated that approximately 1,500 tons a day are hauled.
Member Menesini expressed concern about the number of unanswered questions. If the
Board has questions, it is incumbent on the Board to have a committee investigate this
matter and work with Ms. Aiello in making some of these options more understandable
and firmer. Member Menesini Questioned where the money collected is actually going.
There being no further questions or comments, President Clausen referred this matter to
District staff for summarization and to the appropriate Board Committee. The matter will
then be calendared for further discussion by the full Board. President Clausen thanked
Ms. Aiello for her presentation.

9. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS REQUIRING BOARD ACTION
10. REPORTS
GENERAL MANAGER-CHIEF ENGINEER
a.
1 )
Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Mr. Paul Morsen,
Deputy General Manager, who stated that there was a delay in receiving the
Orinda-Moraga Disposal Service, Inc. audited financial statements; however,
the audited financial statements have now been received. Ms. Deborah
Ratcliff, Controller, will now review the books of Orinda-Moraga Disposal
Service to look at the financial viability of the company. Mr. Morsen
distributed a letter which was received from Orinda-Moraga Disposal
indicating waste is now going to Richmond's West Contra Costa Sanitary
Landfill and proposing a mid-year rate decrease of approximately 3 percent.
Ms. Ratcliff will review this issue as well. At this point, District staff does
not feel a mid-year rate hearing would be advisable, but would propose
instead that the funds be placed in the balancing account and taken into
consideration during the regular rate setting in December.
2)
Mr. Dolan stated that earlier in the agenda a public hearing was scheduled
for July 1, 1 993 to receive comments on certain segments of the Pleasant
Hill Relief Interceptor. The Board is aware that as a cost-saving move, the
District plans that the northern most section of this pipe will be designed to
provide capacity for the future A-Line Parallel Project. In sizing this reach
of pipe, the District did not include capacity for the Tri-Valley Wastewater
Authority (TWA).
The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) process has been completed for the
Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project. The only issue not covered was the
unresolved rights of way. There are three areas where there were
alignment issues. Staff is now prepared to recommend an alternative on
two of those areas. One could argue that the EIR process has been
concluded and that an amendment to the EIR would not be required.
However, staff believes that the most prudent approach would be to do an
EIR amendment dealing only with the alignments and rights of way issues.
There are two disadvantages if the EIR is challenged. First, the District's
ability to provide adequate storm protection to the residents of Pleasant Hill
would be delayed at least one year. Second, the District budget and
staffing plans are built around this very large project. Normally, many
projects would be going at once; but with a project of this magnitude, that
is not possible. Delays in the project will result in substantial inefficiencies
and significant waste of public resources. Staff hopes to move smoothly
through this EIR amendment process, but problems could arise.

Mr. Dolan reported that progress has been made on the Ultraviolet (UV)
Disinfection Project in recent months. The pilot study conducted by the
Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the District was very successful.
Predesign is underway and more specific information is being gathered
increasing staff's confidence in the project costs. Some time ago, President
Clausen expressed an interest in the UV project costs and chlorine
disinfection costs. Mr. Dolan introduced Mr. Doug Craig, Senior Engineer,
who stated that in February 1993, the Board authorized the predesign effort
to further define the details of the UV system and to refine the cost
estimate. Predesign is now approximately 60 to 70 percent complete. The
location of UV facilities has been selected, structural and hydraulic issues
have been resolved, and a need for a new electrical substation has been
identified. Mr. Craig reviewed the disinfection predesign capital and O&M
near-term and long-term estimated costs for chlorine disinfection and UV
disinfection, noting that the chlorine disinfection estimated costs are less
accurate than the UV disinfection estimated costs. The total annualized
costs for chlorine disinfection are estimated to be $2.5 million compared to
total annualized costs for UV disinfection estimated to be $2.2 million. At
this point, UV appears to be the more cost effective project. In addition,
the safety factors involved with the use of UV make it more viable. Mr.
Craig stated that future efforts will include finalizing predesign and
continuing discussions with the Regional Water Quality Control Board to
modify wet weather coliform requirements. In terms of final design, all
disinfection alternatives have been evaluated, a thorough pilot test has been
conducted, UV has been determined to be cost effective, and staff is
confident of UV performance. Considering these factors, staff will come
back to the Board in late summer recommending that the District go forward
with final design for UV requirements. Following discussion, the Board
concurred.
6)
Mr. Dolan announced that the District will be advertising to prequalify
bidders for tunneling on the Pleasant Hill Relief Interceptor Project.
Qualified bidders identified will then be included in the bid specifications.
7)
Mr. Dolan announced that the District is advertising for the Preaeration Odor
Control Project. The engineer's estimate for the work is $963,000.
8)
Mr. Dolan announced that the District is advertising for bids for the Sewer
Replacement Project on Glenside Drive. The engineer's estimate is
$102,000.
9)
Mr. Dolan stated that President Clausen noted that some cities are dropping
out of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and asked for a
summary of the District's expenditures to outside organizations. Mr. Dolan
distributed the summary for the Board's information and review.
Mr. Dolan reported that Mr. Randy Schmidt, Associate Engineer, recently
attended a course on air quality dispersion modeling. Mr. Schmidt has been
working with Junior Engineer Joe Pomroy to increase his awareness and
technical knowledge with regard to this modeling and health risk
assessment at the District.
Mr. Dolan announced that he may be unable to attend the August 19, 1993
Board Meeting. As Past President of the Water Environment Federation
(WEF), he has been asked to represent WEF at the Sweden/Baltic Sea
Conference.
Mr. Dolan announced that 67 residents in the unincorporated areas around
Pleasant Hill have been receiving the level of refuse collection services and
rates established by the City of Pleasant Hill. This came to the attention of
District staff through a telephone call from one of the residents. Pleasant
Hill Bayshore Disposal has agreed to correct the situation and has prepared
a draft letter to the affected residents. Mr. Dolan distributed a copy of the
draft letter. Discussion followed regarding the fact that Pleasant Hill
93
13)
14)
15)
16)
125
Bayshore Disposal has not requested a rate increase since February 1990,
resulting in lower rates for the residents in the areas franchised by the
District.
Mr. Dolan stated that some confusion may have occurred at the last
meeting when the overview of the Collection System Operations (CSO)
Department Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Budget was presented for
review. By way of clarification, Mr. Dolan stated that the CSO Fiscal Year
1993-1 994 O&M Budget assumptions were based on providing staff
support to the capital program provided for under Capital Improvement
Budget Scenario A.
Mr. Dolan introduced Ms. Deborah Ratcliff, Controller, who reviewed the
cumulative tax revenue and shortfall for the two-year period July 1, 1992
through June 30, 1994 and the effect on the 1993-1994 Sewer Service
Charge. Ms. Ratcliff stated that the District had originally thought that the
State would take 35 percent, $2.8 million, of the District's ad valorem tax
revenue. Staff has just learned that $3.2 million, 40 percent, will be taken
in 1992-1993. The effect on the Sewer Service Charge is $23.40. In
1993-1994, if an additional 40 percent is taken, the dollar for dollar
replacement effect on the Sewer Service Charge would be $47.95; and if
100 percent is taken, the effect would be $84.78. Mr. Ratcliff then
reviewed the effect of budgeted increases in salaries and employee benefits
on the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charge. Before elimination of nine
positions, the effect on the Sewer Service Charge would be $7.29; after the
elimination of nine positions, the effect on the Sewer Service Charge would
be $3.54. President Clausen thanked Ms. Ratcliff for the information.
Mr. Dolan stated that at the last Board Meeting a question arose with regard
to the Pollution Prevention Program budget. Mr. Dolan reviewed the
components of the budget, indicating that $41 ,000 was budgeted in Source
Control and $11 7,445 was budgeted in Public Information, for a total of
$158,445. The biggest single cost of the program is a mailer that could
go out to all citizens to encourage residents to change their behavior
regarding what goes into the sewer system. Before that mailer goes out,
staff will gather more information and return to the Board for approval.
Mr. Dolan announced that notices of resignation have recently been
received from three key people at the District: Planning Division Manager
Dave Williams, Public Information/Graphics Coordinator Colleen Camicia,
and Accounting Technician II Gayle Turnage. Staff will be discussing
refilling the Accounting Technician II position with the Board Personnel
Committee.
