OLD BUSINESS REVIEW AGREEMENT WITH CCCWD-DEMINERALIZATION FACILITY ON CCCSD PLANT PROPERTY 1. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reviewed the background of the agreement between Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and the Contra Costa County Water District in which Central San agreed to turn over certain property and facilities to the Water District. /' The Water District is planning to build a demineralization facility, but prior to the start of construction, the Water District has to be notified that all conditions have been met and the land accepted by the Water District. Mr. Carniato is now framing an agreement to that effect. After further discussion, it was moved by Member Carlson, seconded by Member Rustigian, that the General Manager-Chief Engineer, be authorized to execute the necessary agreement between the CCCWD and CCCSD for Acceptance of Section Two Reclamation Facilities by Contra Costa County Water District, subject to approval by District Counsel. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Members: NOES: Members: ABSENT: Members: Campbell, Carlson, Rustigian, Allan and Boneysteele None None APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF PLEASANT HILL AND CCCSD REGARDING TEMPORARY ACCEPTANCE OF BACKWASH WATER 2. Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reviewed the problem, stating that Gregory Gardens Water District has received a cease and desist order from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board in regard to their discharging backwash water into the creek. After negotiation, an agreement has been drawn by our District whereby we will accept their backwash water at a controlled discharge rate on an interim basis. This agreement is to terminate on July 1, 1978, unless extension is granted, in which case, the charge will be increased from $0.77 per each hundred cubic feet (ccf) of backwash water discharged to $1.54 per ccf. After further discussion, it was moved by Member Rustigian, seconded by Member Allan, that the President of the District Board be authorized to execute the agreement between the City of Pleasant Hill and the Central Contra Costa Sanitary O-rstrlct to accept the backwash water from Gregory Gardens Water District Treatment Plant on a temporary basis.

Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, advised that this resolution is required before the EPA will process the final EIR/EIS. EPA approval is necessary before there can be any grant funding. 08 25 77 1106 The adoption of the resolution declaring the intention of the Board to proceed with Stage 5B treatment enlargements projects will certify to the State and Federal Government that the 5B, Phase II sludge can be adequately handled by existing centrifuges and incinerators. To provide more information to the State, we will have to direct Brown and Caldwell to produce a brief report which will indicate how much additional sludge will be produced and how existing facilities will be used to process it. President Boneysteele introduced to the new Board Members Mr. Jerry Gilbert and Mr. Perry Schafer of J. B. Gilbert and Associates. Mr. Dolan referred to Mr. Gilbert who made further comment concerning the EIR/EIS. Because there was insufficient time to process an EIS and because the EPA felt there was no significant adverse environmental impact, the EPA intended to proceed with a Negative Declaration in lieu of an EIS. For that reason, Gilbert and Associates were directed to issue an EIR by modifying the volume they have already prepared, eliminating any reference to an EIS. Mr. Dolan then went on to give a detailed explanation of the twelve items contained in the resolution. Discussion followed. Mr. Dolan then referred to Mr. Schafer who reported that with the adoption of the resolution and some changes in Volume 2 of the EIR, it can be used as the final EIR. After further discussion, it was moved by Member Allan, seconded by Member Rustigian, that a resolution certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report on the Central Contra Costa County Wastewater Management Program and approving the Stage 5B enlargements, be adopted.
