NEJEDLY RELATIVE TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS Senator Nejedly stated it was refreshing to see the District taking action to solve pollution problems within its own area, stating that under present conditions it was difficult to develop a regional plan. Senator Nejedly continued to say that it was appropriate to proceed on a local solution rather than waiting for some regional plan. He suggested that this approach should be coupled with wide publicity to develop community understanding in anticipation that other communities will follow on a volunteer basis rather than waiting for a mandate from a regulatory agency. Member Mitchell stated he was concerned about the mechanisD of taking the lead regionally. Senator Nejedly stated that this lead would follow action taken at the local level and that the assimilative capacity of the Bay should be preserved for future needs of the Bay Area and should not be diverted to other areas. He suggested that a letter be written by the District to Mr. Norman Livermore of the Department of Natural Resources indicating that this District has con- sistently endeavored to upgrade its waste treatment to reduce its demands on the assimilative capacity of Suisun Bay. Senator Nejedly indicated that, in his opinion, renovated water has a substantial potential for recreational use. Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, stated he would prepare a letter to Mr. Livermore for President Gibbs' signature, and submit it to Senator Nejedly for approval. President Gibbs thanked Senator Nejedly for his attendance and giving his thoughts on environmental problems. VII.
