New Business 3• 1/4/71 December 29, I978 MEMORANDUM TO: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE $100,000 FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY ACQUISITION FOR DISTRICT SEWERING PROJECT NO. 3170 EMERGENCY OUTFALL REPAIR ISSUE: Funding is required to pursue engineering design and acquisition of rights-of-way anticipated to be needed for permanent replacement of that portion of the 72" outfall line severely displaced by recent earth movements at Acme Fill. BACKGROUND: Board has previously authorized $110,000 for emergency protective actions as may be necessary to lessen the impacts of damage in the event of conduit failure. Emergency actions include soils investigations, repair work on the outfall, work necessary to discharge directly to Pacheco Creek and grading in the holding basins. It is now evident that Acme Fill will not take responsibility for the new construction of a portion of the outfall. Therefore, we are requesting authori- zations of $90,000 to pursue the preliminary design and $10,000 for acquisition of rights-of-way required for the permanent repair and new construction of portions of the outfall line. A future authorization of approximately $70,000 will be required for final design. Total project cost, based on a minimum of 2,000 lineal feet of reconstruction is preliminarily estimated to be in the area of $1,000,000. Alternative routings being considered could push the figure as high as $3,500,000.

Russell, Senior Engineer SUBJECT: AN INTERIM REPORT ON THE NOISE STUDY BEING CONDUCTED AT THE TREATMENT PLANT The District has hired the company of Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc., Consultants in acoustics and noise problems from San Francisco, to study the impact of noise produced at the treatment plant. The noise consultant will identify problem noise areas at the plant and define their impact on the adjacent neighborhoods. Additionally, the consultant will identify other noise impacts from other sources upon the same neighborhood areas. Other possible noise sources impacting the adjacent neighborhoods include noise from Buchanan Field, traffic on Highway 4 and Interstate 680, and noise emanating from Lion Oil Company. During the week of December 25, 1978, Mr. Anthony P. Nash, a representative of Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc. visited the plant site during the daytime for purposes of orientation. During this same week, Mr. Nash took ambient noise level readings during the daytime and nighttime. These ambient readings were possible since the furnaces had been shut down during this time period by the Contractor. The District in cooperation with the noise consultant was able to shut down machinery that produces a high noise level. This effectively enables the consultant to identify other noise sources impacting the neighborhood as well as the expected ambient that would be normal during both daytime and night- time hours without the plant's noise contribution. As soon as the Contractor resumes operation of the furnace, Mr. Nash will return for noise level readings and define the probable impact. In the event that the furnace is emitting noise levels in excess of the specifications, the consul- tant will recommend possible means to mitigate the problem. It is anticipated that this noise study should be completed by the end of January. '/C �LC,x A. C. Russell ACR:mg Senior Engineer atchitecttire engin ecting the environment Our firm provides acoustical consulting services to individuals, private firms, and public agencies. Established initially as a sole proprietorship in October 1975 by Mr. Salter, the firm's practice includes a broad range of architectural acoustics, noise control engineering, and environmental noise assessment projects. The five full-time staff consultants are augmented by specialists in acoustic field monitoring and sound system design, retained as needed. The firm owns a complete acoustical laboratory, including sound and vibration measuring and recording devices and an analyzer which computes statistical noise data instantaneously. Presently the firm serves as acoustical consultant for the new $3 billion Riyadh International Airport to be constructed in Saudi Arabia. Other recent projects include a noise assessment of the proposed Yerba Buena Center, San Francisco, as part of the EIR/EIS; preparation of the San Mateo County and the City of Menlo Park General Plan Noise Elements, including airport noise contour preparation and certification; acoustical engineering for the U.C. Davis Hospital expansion in Sacramento and the Herrick Hospital expansion in Berkeley; environmental noise assessment of Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley; industrial noise control services for Qume Corporation in San Jose and Hayward and Raychem Corporation in Menlo Park; and acoustical consulta- tion for design and renovation of several buildings at Stanford University. In the past year our firm has prepared approximately fifty environmental noise assessments. The firm shares office space and works in close collaboration with Thomas R. Morris, PE, on specific projects. Tom is an independent consultant who specializes in engineering acoustics, machine and muffler design, vibration analysis, and tracked vehicle noise control. i Charles Al.

Old Business 3. 1/4/79 December 18, 1978 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: AUGMENTATION OF DISTRICT ENGINEERING FUNDS FOR PROJECT 5B -II (C -06 -1269 -Step 1) ISSUE: Additional funding is necessary to continue planning and pre -design work for this project. BACKGROUND: Project 5B -II is the energy recovery, (solid waste fuel) project originally planned to be a single project consisting of a resource recovery plant and energy recovery facilities costing $32,300,000. A Step 1 grant of $125,000 for planning was received in July 1976, followed by an increase to $453,000 to cover the Concord test burn. We have spent a total of $770,257 and are negotiating with the State to increase the grant eligible portion of our costs. Studies in conjunction with the Regional Solid Waste Study group have changed the concept of the project and divided it into two phases. The first phase will carry clean water grant fund eligibility and be devoted primarily to fuel for sludge destruction with accompanying energy recovery. The final phase, which may have limited or no clean water funding will be energy production for the entire plant by expansion of the first phase, but it may use facilities which are not geared to sludge in any way. Very rough estimates are $20,000,000 for the first phase and $40,00,000 for the second. Final design of the second is to overlap and possibly depend upon experience gained in developing the first phase. Specific engineering authorizations to date have been $30,000 for District activities and this has been over -expended by $8,400. Based on the estimated time and effort to reach the next decision level -which may envolve further pilot plant tests - about 15 man -months plus investigative travel, etc. will be needed. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize an additional $50,000 for District engineering in connection with Project 5B -II (C-06-1269). Respectfully submitted, V/. C.
