APPROVE QUITCLAIM
OF SEWER EASEMENT
SUBMITTED BY
INITIATING DEPT/DIV
Dennis Hall Associate En ineer
t./lnfrastructure Division
ISSUE: Kensington Place Joint Venture has requested the District to quitclaim portions of the
subject easements.
BACKGROUND: The subject easements were granted to this District at no cost in 1949. The
sewer mains that were within the subject easements were relocated in 1987. A replacement
easement covering the new alignment was granted to this District in December 1986. The sewer
was relocated to permit the property owners to make better use of their property. Portions of the
original easements are no longer needed and may now be quitclaimed. The District's quitclaim
processing fee has been paid.
This project 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 Quitclaim Deed to Kensington Place Joint Venture, Job No. 1556,
authorize the President of the District Board of Directors and the Secretary of the District to
execute said Quitclaim Deed, and authorize the Quitclaim Deed to be recorded.

Ba T. Than, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPT.lDIV.
Collection System Operations
ISSUE: Construction has been completed on the repair of landslides along the Moraga
interceptor in Moraga (DP 9557) and the work is now ready for acceptance.
BACKGROUND: Two landslides were discovered that threatened the integrity of the 27-inch
diameter interceptor sewer serving the Town of Moraga and portions of the City of Orinda.
Failure of this major sewer would have resulted in the discharge of untreated wastewater into
Las Trampas Creek. The Board of Directors declared this an emergency situation at their meeting
on November 7, 1991, and they authorized staff to proceed with the design and construction
of the facilities needed to protect the interceptor sewer.
Plans and specifications were completed by DCM/Joyal Engineering. Staff solicited informal
bids. Four bids were received ranging from $123,073 to $205,135. Staff selected Dalzell
Corporation of Emeryville as the low bidder to perform the work. The construction contract was
executed on December 4, 1991. The work was completed on December 25, 1991. It is
appropriate to accept the contract work at this time.
A detailed accounting of the project cost will be provided to the Board at the time of project
closeout.
RECOMMENDATION: Accept the contract work for the repair of landslides along the Moraga
interceptor project in Moraga (DP 9557) and authorize the filling of the Notice of Completion.

DATE
SUBMITTED BY
Barton L. Brandenburg, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPT JOIV.
Engineering Dept.lPlanning Division
ISSUE: A public hearing is required prior to the adoption of a revised Source Control Ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The existing Source Control Ordinance which was adopted on April 18, 1991,
needs to be updated to reflect amendments to the California Government Code.
The California Government Code amendments authorize the District to assess administrative
penalties for violations of the Industrial Pretreatment Program. Staff expects the RWOCB will
require that the District implement the Government Code amendments prior to the next
pretreatment program audit. Implementation is necessary for the District to efficiently recover
enforcement costs. In summary, the proposed revisions are as follows:
o Civil penalties may be imposed ranging from a maximum of $2,000 per day to a maximum
of $5,000 per day depending on the type of violation. Examples of violations include:
Failing to submit monitoring reports ($2,000 per day)
Failing to comply with the compliance schedule ($3,000 per day)
Violation of waste discharge limits or permit conditions ($5,000 per day)
Any violation of an order ($10 per gallon)
o Noncompliance fees, allowed under the current ordinance, would be eliminated since they
would duplicate of the civil penalties proposed above. These fees, which are assessed for
violation of waste discharge limits, range from $50 to $2,000 per day.
o For violation of waste discharge limits or other violations of the Clean Water Act, penalties
of $25,000 per violation may also be imposed. This replaces the current civil liability limit
of $6,000 per day.
This position paper is transmitted at this time for Board information. At the public hearing staff
will discuss the changes which are proposed to be made to the existing Source Control Ordinance
and be available to respond to Board and public comments.

PROJECT APPROVAL
SUBMITTED BY
INITIATING DEPTJOIV.
Russell B. Leavitt, Planning Assistant
Engineering Dept'/Planning Division
ISSUE: Board approval of appropriate CEQA documentation is required prior to approval of the
Martinez Pumping System Improvement Project.
BACKGROUND: 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. 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.
The pumping station improvements portion of this project is included in the 1991-92 Capital
Improvement Budget as the Martinez/Fairview/Maltby Pumping Stations Upgrade (beginning on
page CS-71). The estimated total cost of this portion of the project is $10.6 million. The M4
Parallel Force Main project is included in the proposed 1992-93 Capital Improvement Budget
beginning on page CS-44. The estimated total cost of this portion of the project is $2.3 million.
As Lead Agency, the District retained the environmental consulting firm of Michael Clayton &
Associates to prepare an Initial Study of the proposed project to determine if the project may have
a significant effect on the environment. Staff has concluded that the Initial Study adequately,
accurately, and objectively evaluates the environmental impacts of the proposed project, and that
a Negative Declaration is the appropriate document to address the environmental effects of the
project. The Initial Study is included as part of the proposed Negative Declaration which has been
distributed separately to the District Board of Directors.
The proposed Negative Declaration finds that there is no substantial evidence before the District
that the project may have a significant effect on the environment and that no mitigation measures
are needed other than those measures already incorporated into the project description. These
measures are discussed in the proposed Negative Declaration.
Staff also has concluded that Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 regarding a mitigation
monitoring program is not applicable to this project, since no changes or conditions of project
approval are required to mitigate potentially significant effects.

ATTACHMENT I
WRITTEN COMMENTS ON THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION
FOR THE PROPOSED
MARTINEZ PUMPING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Two letters were received during the 3D-day public review period for the proposed
Negative Declaration. Comments from the attached letters are summarized in bold with
District staff responses following.
RICHARD PEARSON. ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR. CITY OF MARTINEZ. FEBRUARY 20.1992
1. Architectural and landscaping features of the project will require City of
Martinez design review and approval. While the City will be consulted on these
matters, the District's wastewater transmission facilities are exempt from city
ordinances and regulations, according to California Government Code Section
53091.
2. The possibility of soil contamination must be addressed. The issue of
hazardous substances was generally discussed in the Risk of Upset section of the
Initial Study. The diesel fuel and (caustic soda) chemical storage tanks identified
in this comment currently are located above ground in paved areas, so soil
contamination is unlikely. The District's standard construction procedure require
that any soil contamination discovered during the course of construction will be
properly cleaned-up and disposed.
MARY GRIGGS. MANAGER. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW SECTION. DIVISION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT. STATE LANDS COMMISSION
(SLC). FEBRUARY 24. 1992
1. A permit from the SLC will be required for work extending onto the State's
ungranted sovereign lands. Staff has contacted the SLC to begin determining
where the project may extend into lands under SLC jurisdiction. The District will
apply for an SLC permit, if necessary, and comply with its requirements.
TOM WILLIAMS. STAFF CIVIL ENGINEER. FLOOD CONTROL ENGINEERING. CONTRA
COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT. FEBRUARY
25. 1992
1. The project Will/may require permits from Contra Costa County and the
Department of Fish and Game. Notification should be given to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the Bay Conservation and Development
Commission. These agency coordination issues were addressed on pages 19-21
of the proposed Negative Declaration.

Dear Mr. Leavitt:
SUBJECT: MARTINEZ PUMPING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT/
PROPOSED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
We have reviewed the proposed Negative Declaration for the Martinez Pumping
System Improvement Project. Ken Erickson, City Engineer, discussed this
project with you.
The project is designed to provide efficiency and wet weather protection for
existing and near-term uses. Our general concerns include the aesthetic s,
environmental and growth inducement aspects of the project. In reviewing the
report, we note only a few areas of specific concern:
1. Architectural theme - we are particularly interested in the three new
buildings that are proposed (pages 7, 10 and 12), the treatment of razed sites
and the replacement of trees you plan to remove. These items will require
design review and approval by the City.
2. There is a possibility of soil contamination at the existing diesel tank,
the caustic soda, and the chemical storage sites which must be addressed.
Other impacts, such as from construction work and traffic interference, appear
to be non-~ignificant cr mitigatable.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Leavitt:
Staff of the State Lands Commission (SLC) has reviewed the Negative Declaration
(NO) for the Martinez Pumping System Improvement Project (SCH 92013042). Based on
this review, we offer the following comments.
The State acquired sovereign ownership of all tidelands and submerged lands and the
beds of navigable waterways upon its admission to the United States in 1850. The State
holds these lands for the benefit of all the people of the State for statewide Public Trust
purposes which include, waterborne commerce, navigation, fisheries, water-related
recreation, habitat preservation, and open space. The landward boundaries of the State's
sovereign interests are generally based upon the ordinary high water marks of these
waterways as they last naturally existed. Thus, such boundaries may not be readily apparent
from present day site inspections.
The SLC has jurisdiction and authority over all ungranted tidelands, submerged lands,
and the beds of navigable rivers, sloughs, lakes, etc. The SLC has an oversight responsibility
for tide and submerged lands legislatively granted in trust to local jurisdictions (Public
Resources Code Section 6301). All tide and submerged lands, granted or ungranted, as well
as navigable rivers, sloughs, etc. are impressed with the Common Law Public Trust.
The State's sovereign interests within the project area generally include: 1)
ungranted sovereign lands, either owned in fee by the State or subject to a State-reserved
Public Trust Easement; and 2) sovereign lands, either owned in fee by the State or subject
to the State-reserved Public Trust Easement, which fee lands and Easement have been
granted in trust by the Legislature, pursuant to Chapter 815, Statutes of 1976, to the East
Bay Regional Park District. The tidelands grantee has direct administrative control over the
granted lands, with the State retaining oversight authority.

CONTRACT
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Collection System Operations
ISSUE: On February 18, 1992, sealed bids were received and opened for raising 200
manholes to grade in accordance with Bid Request No. G0427C. The Board of Directors
must authorize award of the contract or reject bids within 50 days of the opening of bids.
BACKGROUND: Cities within the District Service Area have overlaid existing streets with
new asphalt pavement. The work deposited a layer of asphalt pavement over the
manhole covers making access to the manholes impossible. These manholes need to be
raised to grade to provide access for cleaning and inspection.
Plans and specifications were completed by the Collection System Operations Department
(CSOD) staff. This project was advertised on February 8 and 13, 1992. Ten bids were
received ranging from $41,914 to $175,000. A summary of bids is presented in
Attachment 1. The Engineer's estimate was $70,000.
CSOD and Purchasing staff have conducted technical and commercial evaluation of the
bids and concluded that the lowest responsible bidder is Ponte General Engineering with
a bid price of $41,914. The funding for this work was allocated in the CSOD Operation
and Maintenance Budget of CSOD. CSOD staff will administer the contract and provide
engineering support and inspection services for this project.
Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) under District CEOA Guidelines Section 18.2, since it involves minor
alterations to existing sewer facilities with no expansion of capacity. The Board of
Directors approval of this project will constitute a finding of agreement with this
determination unless otherwise indicated.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize award of contract to Ponte General Engineering as the
lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $41,914 for the raising of 200 manholes to
proper grade per Bid Request No. G0427C.

APPROVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
WALNUT CREEK FOR THE SEWER RELOCATION PROJECT
AT SOUTH BROADWAY EXTENSION, DP 4826
February 27, 1992
TYPE OF ACTION
APPROVE
AGREEMENT
SUBMITTED BY
Andrew J. Antkowiak
Assistant Engineer
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Engineering Department
Infrastructure Division
ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization is required for agreements with other public agencies.
BACKGROUND: The City of Walnut Creek has proposed an extension of South Broadway
including the installation of soundwalls in the former Southern Pacific Railroad Right of Way
between Newell Avenue and Rudgear Road. As proposed by the city, the east-side soundwall
will interfere with the operation and maintenance of an existing 10-inch sanitary sewer. To
avoid the interference, the existing 10-inch sewer needs to be relocated. The proposed
relocation project will include upsizing of the existing 1 O-inch sewer to 12 and 15 inches. The
upsizing is necessary to meet the District's ultimate capacity criteria. The project will also
include construction of 8-inch collector sewers and replacement of undercapacity sewers as
shown on the attached map. The District staff has negotiated a relocation agreement with the
city. The negotiated agreement outlines the responsibilities and requirements of the city and
the District to accomplish design and construction of the sewer relocation project.
The conditions contained in the agreement require the city to obtain, at no cost to the District,
all permits and sewer easements. The conditions also require the city to pay 100 percent of
all cost attributable to construction of the 8-inch collector sewers, concrete encasement for
sewer at the Flood Control channel, abandonment of existing 10-inch sewer, and any special
requirements for the proposed sewer construction between Newell Avenue and Murwood
Drive. Further, the conditions require the city to fund 69 percent of all cost associated with
the design, engineering, construction, and administration of the sewer between Newell Avenue
and Murwood Drive. This percentage is based on the ratio of the estimated construction cost
for relocation of the existing 10-inch sewer versus relocation and upsizing of the existing
sewer to 12 and 15 inches.
The District will pay 100 percent of the cost associated with the sewer construction at the
southern end of the project in Murwood Drive and Ward Drive. This sewer is not affected by
the city street project, but it is hydraulically deficient and, therefore, has been added to the
project.
Staff has determined that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines, Section 18.2, since it involves a minor alteration to

SELF-MONITORING
TYPE OF ACTION
ACCEPTANCE OF
REPORT
SUBt&tTEDBY
l,;narles W. Batts,
Plant Operations Department Manager
INITIATING DEPTJOIV.
Plant Operations Department
ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's Self-Monitoring Program annual report fo
1991 has been prepared for submission to the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board, San Francisco Bay Section. This report is presented to the Board at this time for its
information and acceptance.
BACKGROUND: The treatment plant continued to have an excellent year as measured by our
effluent standards compliance record for 1991. There were four total coliform, two pH, and 48
non-zero chlorine residual violations. Only seven, or 1 5 percent, of the non-zero chlorine violations
exceeded the Regional Water Quality Control Board's guidelines for considering (potential)
enforcement.
The two pH violations occurred in November, when the plant was changing from nitrification to
normal treatment. This caused a short-term increased chlorine demand, which lowered the effluen
pH.
The four coliform violations took place last spring, and no specific reasons have been identified for
their cause. In each case, there were no process upset conditions, and the chlorine residual
indicated that good effluent disinfection should have occurred.
The majority of the non-zero chlorine residual violations were due to flow variations caused by the
intermittent operation of the filter plant as effluent was drawn off for reclamation for off-site use.
Over the last several years these violations were related to problems of process control. The Plant
Operations Department staff is presently working on several projects to improve both the residual
detection instrumentation and computer dechlorination control programs, which will reduce the
number of future violations of this type. Furthermore, the District has undertaken an investigation
of alternatives to the use of chlorine for disinfection purposes. As part of the project work for
chlorination alternatives, a survey was conducted of other large municipal treatment plants in the
area. Results indicate that the District is comparable to similar facilities in compliance with
discharge limits.

BOARD ACCEPTANCE OF THE 1991 SELF-MONITORING
PROGRAM REPORT
PAGE ?
DATE
OF 2
March 3, 1992
A comparison of key parameters from the District's annual monitoring reports for 1988 through
1991 is attached.
The District performed routine monitoring of selected organic and metallic contaminants required
by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The results of these tests show that these
contaminants were not detected in the treatment plant effluent in any significant concentrations
and met all National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit standards.
There was a total of 1 2, 1 54 million gallons of wastewater treated for an average daily flow of
33.3 million gallons. This flow is about 9 percent less than in 1990 due to the continuing dry
winters and water conservation. The treatment plant produced an effluent with an annual average
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids concentration of 5 mg/I and 9 mg/I,
respectively. This is markedly lower than our NPDES permit standards of 25 mg/I and 30 mg/l,
respectively. The BOD and total suspended solids removal efficiency for the plant averaged 97 and
96 percent, respectively.
Solids disposal during this year involved the incineration of dewatered sludge in the District's
multiple-hearth furnaces, where approximately 3,322 tons of furnace ash was incinerated. Of this,
approximately 2,085 tons went to Port Costa Materials, Inc. and Contra Costa Topsoil for
beneficial uses. The remainder went to Colusa County landfill.
Upon acceptance of this report by the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Board of Directors,
the 1991 Annual Self-Monitoring Report will be submitted to the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board.
RECOMMENDATION: Acceptance of the 1991 Annual Self-Monitoring Program Report.

SUBMITTED BY
KEN ROAN, VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
ISSUE: Board authorization is required to allocate funds of over $2,000 from the Equipment
Budget Contingency Account.
BACKGROUND: A District four-door sedan (vehicle #100) was rearended by an uninsured driver
incurring major damage. The estimated cost of repair ($12,000) exceeds the blue book value of
the vehicle ($8,000). Staff recommends that the vehicle be replaced and that the cost of
replacement should be split between the Self Insurance Fund $8,000 and the 1991/92
Equipment Budget Contingency $6,000. Staff is pursuing recovery of the vehicle's blue book
value from the at-fault driver.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize purchase of one 1992 sedan with the expenditure of $6,000
from the 1991/92 Equipment Budget Contingency.
