CONSENT CALENDAR b. SUBJECT DATE February 7, 1992 APPROVE AGREEMENT RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY WITH THOMAS FONG AND IRENE L. FONG, JOB 3003, WALNUT CREEK AREA TYPE OF ACTION APPROVE REAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT SUBMITTED BY Dennis Hall, Associate Engineer INITIATING DEPT./DIV Engineering Dept.llnfrastructure Div. ISSUE: The property owners have requested the District's approval to allow the encroachment of a redwood deck over a District easement. BACKGROUND: The proposed deck will be constructed within a portion of an existing easement on Mr. and Mrs. Fong's property. An 8-inch asbestos cement sewer pipe was installed within the easement at a depth of about 8 feet in 1978. The property owner has cooperated with District staff by providing construction drawings of the deck and has paid the District's fee for processing the subject agreement. Staff has determined that the improvements will not interfere with the present use of our sewer. However, if the need should arise, the agreement requires the property owner to move the deck at his/her expense within 30 days of notice to do so. This project (the proposed agreement) has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 18.6, since it involves a minor alteration in land use limitations. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Agreement relating to Real Property with Thomas Fong, et ux, Job 3003, and authorize the President of the Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to execute said agreement, and authorize the agreement to be recorded.

DATE February 3, 1992 TYPE OF ACTION SET PUBLIC HEARING DATE SUBMITTED BY Russell B. Leavitt, Planning Assistant INITIATING DEPT JOIV. Engineering Dept.lPlanning Div. ISSUE: District practice is to hold a public hearing prior to the Board considering approval of a Negative Declaration and project. BACKGROUND: At its March 5, 1992 meeting, the Board will be requested to approve a Negative Declaration prior to approving the Martinez Pumping System Improvement Project. The proposed project involves construction of improvements to three wastewater pumping stations (Martinez, Fairview, and Maltby), as well as installation of the M4 Parallel Force Main along Marina Vista, Waterfront Road, and Waterbird Way in Martinez. The project would increase the reliable pumping capacity of the Martinez pumping system in order to reduce wet weather sewer overflows in the Martinez area. While not required by law or the District's procedures, it has been the District's customary procedure to hold public hearings in advance of the adoption of Negative Declarations on major projects. RECOMMENDATION: Set March 5, 1992,3 p.m. as the date and time to receive public comment on the Negative Declaration for the Martinez Pumping System Improvement Project.

SUBJECT DATE February 7, 1 992 CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ESTABLISHING EQUALIZATION CHARGES FOR LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 57 (MID-HILL SEWER PROJECT) TYPE OF ACTION CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING AND ESTABUSH CHARGES SUBMITTED BY Jay S. McCoy Infrastructure Division Mana er INITIATING DEPT/DIV. Engineering Department/ Infrastructure Division ISSUE: The Board of Directors must conduct a public hearing to establish equalization charges for Local Improvement District (LID) 57. BACKGROUND: LID No. 57 provided sewer service to seven properties located in the Brown Avenue area of Lafayette. A total of eight assessments were placed in the seven properties. In addition to the eight assessments on the project proponents' properties, there are a minimum of two other properties that were not part of the LID that potentially can connect directly to the LID sewer. As with past LID's, the owners of these properties must pay an equalization charge when they connect to the LID sewer. The charge, after it is collected, will be distributed equally to the assessment district participants to reduce their assessments. Staff has calculated equalization charges for all 20 years of the assessment district. These charges appear on Attachment 1. These equalization charges include an interest component equivalent to the yearly interest paid by each LID participant. The cumulative interest charges are added to the original assessment amount, ($35,994.97), to determine the equalization charge for any given year. Equalization charges will be collected during the term of the assessment district bonds when structures are connected to the public main. After the assessment district bonds mature, equalization charges will not be collected for any connection to the LID sewer. Staff proposes adoption of the schedule of charges at this time. Section 6.16.020 of the District Code provides for the Board establishing equalization charges after conducting a properly noticed public hearing. The Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Contra Costa Times on February 7, 1992. It is appropriate to conduct a public hearing to establish equalization charges for LID 57. RECOMMENDATION: Establish equalization charges for LID 57 in accordance with the amounts shown in Attachment 1. RE~EWEDANDRECOMMENDEDFORBOARDAcnON ~ RAB GEN. MGR.lCHIEF ENG. #JfJ ROGE J.

District BOARD OF DIRECTORS I PAGE 1 OF1 NO. 6. ENGINEERING a. AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT WITH WOODWARD-CLYDE CONSULTANTS AND TRACOR AEROSPACE REGARDING CONTINUED SAMPLING AT BOLLINGER CANYON DATE February 18, 1992 TYPE Of ACTION AUTHORIZE AGREEMENT SUBMITTED BY Barton L. Brandenburg, Associate Engineer INITIATING DEPT JOIV. Engineering Dept.lPlanning Division ISSUE: Authorization by the Board of Directors is required for the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute agreements in amounts greater than $50,000. BACKGROUND: The District owns and operates the Bollinger Canyon leachline, a wastewater disposal system that percolates septic tank effluent from Tracor Aerospace, Inc. (Tracor), one private residence, and one forestry department outpost along Bollinger Canyon Road. The leachline began operation in 1966. The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued a Cleanup and Abatement Order (CAO) which names the District and Tracor as responsible parties. In part, the CAO stipulates that the District and Tracor Aerospace must submit monthly technical reports documenting recent work completed. Each quarter the reports include water level readings and analysis data collected as part of the quarterly sampling of 13 groundwater monitoring wells and 3 locations in Bollinger Creek. For more than a year, the District and Tracor have shared equally in the costs of sampling, analysis, and reporting which has been done by contract with Woodward-Clyde Consultants. Woodward-Clyde's contract ended at the close of 1991. For the long term, the District and Tracor have recommended to the RWQCB that sampling be reduced to semi-annually at five wells and two locations in Bollinger Canyon. Until the RWQCB agrees to a revised sampling schedule, the District and Tracor must continue to report as required under the current CAO. An agreement has been negotiated with Woodward-Clyde Consultants with a cost ceiling of $124,000 for one year of additional sampling, analysis, and reporting. Tracor will. share equally in this cost with the District. The agreement will be revised if a reduced sampling schedule is approved. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute an agreement with a cost ceiling of $124,000 with Woodward-Clyde Consultants for continued sampling of the groundwater contamination at Bollinger Canyon and to enter into a cost sharing agreement with Tracor Aerospace, Inc. for this sampling.
