Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION OF $800 FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO HEAVY DUTY PORTABLE HEATERS FOR THE STOREROOM Issue: The low temperatures and high winter humidity in the metal storeroom, as purchased from the Contractor, is causing damaged to District purchased materials, equipment, and supplies. Background: The metal Butler building as purchased from the Contractor, is uninsulated. Therefore, the interior temperatures and relative humidity are approximately the same as the ambient exterior. This is resulting in damage to equipment and supplies that have been purchased by the District. The low temperatures encountered in the morning are also detrimental to the morale of the personnel who work in the area. A long range solution is to provide insul- ation and heating for the building. This will not be available for some time. An interim solution would be to purchase two heavy duty portable heaters to elevate the temperature and thus decrease the relative humidity within the building. Recommendation: Authorization of $800 for the purchase of two heavy duty portable heaters for the storage building. DGN:mg Reco ndation Ap oved: Roger .

NB 3 2/15/79 January 30, 1979 MEMORANDUM TO: HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION OF EXPENSES AND TRANSPORTATION TO HOUSTON, TEXAS FOR JOHN WALTER, MACHINE SHOP FOREMAN Issue: The plant air supply compressors are requiring abnormally high levels of maintenance to keep them operating. Background: The high pressure air system for the treatment plant is supplied by two 75 Hp Worthington air compressors which supply 370 cu.ft./min. of air at 125 psi. These units have been in operation for 20 months and have required extensive maintenance to the compressor valves in order to keep them operating. The Contractor has been put on notice that the operation of these units has been unacceptable, and he has to date, failed to take any corrective action. The Maintenance Division has been performing preventive maintenance on these compressors in order to maintain plant operation and have found that a different valve from the ones supplied for these units has increased compressor efficiency. The ability to use this new valve would also represent a savings of $12,000 each time a complete set of valves were changed in the compressors. Based on the need for correcting an operating problem and the potential cost saving, it is felt that a representative from the Maintenance Division should be authorized to investigate the correction of the fatigue problem with this new valve at the valve manufacturer's engineering division at its headquarters. Recommendation: Authorization of two days' expenses and transportation for John Walter, Machine Shop Foreman, to confer with Texcentric, Inc. in Houston, Texas. The estimated cost would be $550.

NB 4 2/15/79 MEMORANDUM FOR: VIA: SUBJECT: January 22, 1979 HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer AUTHORIZATION OF $2,400 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CHAIN LINK FENCE (CL6) NORTH OF THE VISITORS PARKING LOT AT THE PLANT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Issue: Unauthorized personnel have the opportunity to access plant grounds through the main visitors' entrance. Background: As designed, the new treatment plant allows for two major points of access to the grounds. The gate located south of the Adminis- tration building is monitored by Operations on a 24-hour basis. This allows for access of plant personnel, construction personnel, and other delivery traffic as necessary. The main entrance located to the north of the Administration building is designed primarily for the access of visitors during the daytime. This entrance is closed at night but essentially unmonitored during the day. People entering this gate have the option of either parking at the visitors' parking lot or driving into other areas of the plant. This has resulted of many unauthorized visits without the knowledge of plant personnel. The District insurance carrier has suggested that the District modify the plant security measures to pre- vent unauthorized individual access to treatment plant properties and critical control areas. In order to conform with this suggestion, access must be denied to unauthorized people. This can be accomplished by the placement of a chain link fence and gate system on the northerly side of the visitors' entrance. This, with proper signing, will help to direct visitors traffic into the office for proper identification and thus will prevent unauthorized individual access to critical areas. Recommendation: Authorization of $2,400 for the construction of a chain link fence and gate system on the north side of the visitors' parking lot.

Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: DRAFT REGIONAL SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN Following two years of extensive work, the San Francisco Bay Region Wastewater Solids Study (WSS) has completed a Draft Regional Sludge Management Plan. The purpose of the study was twofold: (1) to identify any opportunities for regional/subregional sludge management and (2) to provide detailed plans for the major wastewater treatment agencies within the region. The importance of the study is that all future grant funding decisions for the sludge handling facilities will be based on the final plan (and supporting facilities plans). The enclosed draft reports are for your review. The contents of the reports are: Summary - This volume was prepared as a very brief description of the Regional Plan. The proposed methods of sludge management for each of the major agencies are also discussed. This document will be provided to the general public for review and comment. Volume I - DRAFT REGIONAL SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN - This volume provides a more detailed version of the Regional Plan. All of the background information used in the evaluation of alternatives is also included. Volume I provides the Environmental Impact Assessment required for plan approval. Volume II - CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT DRAFT FACILITIES PLAN SUPPLEMENT - This volume is specific to the Stage 5B Phase II Project. The information included in Volume II, when combined with the two previous facilities pians, fulfills the State Water Resources Control Board requirements for grant funding. Chapter 4 provides a detailed description of the proposed project and the steps required for its implementation. t Draft RegioSludge Management Plan —_ruary 13, 1979 -2- The solids study group is planning to make a presentation before the Board on March 15, 1979.
