OLD BUSINESS 1. STAFF RECOMMENDATION ON INTERIM GROWTH POLICY Mr. Dolan, Genral Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that at the Board's request, staff conducted a study on the affect various regulatory require- ments would have on future District area and population expansion as controlled by the folow capacity of the treatment plant. An initial study was made, but the Board still expressed concern and requested that staff pursue this matter further. Mr. Dolan handed out a volume of letters covering the matter of sizing Project 5B-I to each Board Member. On July 25, 1978, staff met with representatives from ABAG, EPA and the SWRCB to discuss restraints that those agencies might put on future expansion of our flow capacity. Clear statements were received from ABAG and SWRCB as to their positions in this matter. ABAG stated that the District's responsibility is to follow the "208 Plan". Future construction grants under the EPA will have to be in conformance with the local "208 Plan", which stipulates population growth. ABAG does not approve of using water projects as growth limiting tools. Mr. Dolan called the Board's attention to a copy of the letter from EPA to ABAG dated April 10, 1978 regarding EPA's role as it relates to the "208 Plan". The State Water Resource Control Board stated that they do not wish to impose grant conditions on the District to restrict future capacity increases and understand the statuatory restraints that exist with respect to the District's authority. The only way they will become involved in capacity or growth matters is through future State or Federal Grants. However, in accordance with grant policy, no further funds are available to the District for capacity increases thereby precluding any involvement in the construction grant procedure. EPA indicated that they may impose further grant conditions on both 5BI and 5B-II with regard to the plant capacity issue. However, there is a difference of opinion at EPA as to whether or not air quality related requirements should be imposed on Central San. A letter was sent to the District from EPA on July 19, 1978, This letter was later rescinded verbally by the EPA. If imposed, these requirements would froce Central San to adopt and implement an air quality mitigation program which could call for limitation on growth. The District1s NPDES permit will expire in July of next year. EPA has indicated that they will at that time raise our flow capacity to 40 MGD. That does not insure that in the 1984 renewal we will be allowed to raise the flow capacity beyond that point. Mr. Dolan directed the Board's attention to a flow capacity graph which displayed flow projections that are currently being studied. There is every indication from the RWQCB that the District will receive approval for a flow capacity of 35 MGD on August 15. In concluding his presentation, Mr. Dolan stated that it was apparent the District was not currently subject to any regulation or law which would require it to control growth or restrict connections or annexations. This included consideration of planning and approval of documents on Project 5-B. The only regulatory agency which took the position that they might impose such regulations on the District in the future was the EPA, which either through grant conditions or the NPDES process could impose growth limits. He then recommended that the District continue its practice of accommodating growth as such growth is permitted by local planning agencies. President Allan thanked Mr. Dolan for the presentation and asked for Board comments. 27 78 1351 Member Boneysteele commented that should the Board opt to accept staff recommendation concerning the District's growth policy, it will be incumbent upon staff to review the schedule of annexation, fixture and connection charges to make certain that new connections pay their own way and do not become a financial burden on the District. Mr. Dalton Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, advised that results of the study affect the financial planning and we have to be conservative in our approach to assure future project funding. Member Carlson commented on the importance of keeping the public informed as to how capacity of the treatment plan effects the District growth policy and ithat it is still necessary to control the use of water. It was the consensus of the Board that the present District policy of accommodating growth, as such growth is permitted by local planning agencies, be continued as in the past. 2. FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF THREE PARCELS, PA 78-23 IN THE DANVILLE AREA, PA 78-24 IN THE ALAMO AREA AND PA 78-28 IN THE DANVILLE AREA TO BE INCLUDED IN PENDING ANNEXATIONS TO THE DISTRICT Mr. Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, advised that action on these parcels had been put over to this meeting pending further review of our growth policy. It is now staff's recommendation that these parcels be approved for inclusion in pending annexation to the District. Board Members noted correspondence received from Ponderosa Homes (PA 78- 23), Elbaco Inc., (PA 78-24) and Harold W. Smith Company (PA 78-28). After comments and discussion, it was moved by Member Carlson, seconded by Member Campbell, that authorization of three parcels PA 78- 23, Danville area, PA 78-24, Alamo area, PA 78-28, Danville area, be approved for inclusion in pending annexations to the District.

AUTHORIZE CONDEMNATION ACTION AGAINST MR. SCOTT KING, JOB NO. 2904, PARCEL NO.2, LOCATED AT 864 MT. DIABLO RD., IN THE DANVILLE AREA Mr. Carniato, District Counsel, advised that, as a matter of procedure, there should be a hearing conducted prior to any Board action. President Allan declared that a hearing was now open on the condemnation action against Mr. Scott King. There being no one present wishing to be heard on this matter, President Allan declared the hearing closed. Mr. Carniato, District Counsel, stated that the sewer alignment across the corner of the subject property is necessary due to the location of a large concrete box culvert under Diablo Road. Design without the easement, would require a considerably more expensive sewer installation. Mr. Scott has refused to grant the easement on the basis that he is endeavoring to obtain County permission to split his property into two building sites and believes that this easement would adversely affect the split approval. Staff checked with the County and found that only access easements are considered in determining property splits.
