Call Meeting to Order Chair Pilecki called the meeting to order at 8:05 a.m. 2. Public Comments None. Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Action Summary September 8, 2015 Page 2 V Presentation by Dave Richardson, P.E. of RMC Water and Environment on the District's Recycled Water Wholesaling Study Mr. Richardson reviewed the slide presentation included with the agenda materials concerning Recycled Water Wholesale Opportunities. With all the potential options presented, Member McGill inquired as to why none has taken hold. Ms. LaBella said the availability of cheap raw water may be part of the reason. Chair Pilecki said water rights may also be a contributing factor. Mr. Richardson distributed two additional slides (see attached), explaining that the first one arranged the opportunities presented along axes for cost per acre foot and economic value. He recommended that the District restrict its consideration of potential projects to those falling within the yellow shaded area. Chair Pilecki suggested eliminating any projects that are seasonal and instead focus on projects with large, year -round demand. He also said regional reliability should be considered. Member McGill agreed. Member McGill requested that a special two -hour Committee meeting be scheduled with RMC Water and Environment devoted to focusing on the direction for the District with regard to wholesaling opportunities, political considerations, and participation of other agencies. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the presentation, provided input to staff, and set a special meeting on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 from 8 -10 a.m. 4. Discuss implementation of an erosion control plan for the Kiewit property at a total estimated cost of $107,500 Member McGill recalled that the District assumed responsibility from Contra Costa County several years ago for soil erosion on the Kiewit property. Ms. Gemmell confirmed that was correct. She explained staff's plan to provide erosion control for the parcel, which includes rental of irrigation equipment at a cost of roughly $25, 000 per month for three months. Chair Pilecki said he was not convinced of the need for erosion control measures, since there have been no problems in the past. The Committee Members both expressed reservation about the proposed irrigation costs and provided direction that the work should be done under staff authority and to follow past practices. Staff will modify the scope of work to not include irrigation, and will check the condition of the existing storm control measures for mitigating soil erosion on the property. COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and provided input to staff. Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Action Summary September 8, 2015 Page 3 5. Discuss financing program for backf low devices for commercial recycled water customers COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and concurred with staff's approach. 6. Receive update on Pollution Prevention (P2) Awards Mr. Petit said the District's approach to the P2 Awards Program has been broadened to include awards for "Water Quality Community Partners" who have maintained full compliance with the District's sewer discharge permit at various yearly milestones, similar to the way the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) recognizes its agencies. The Program also has been refined to clarify that eligibility will be based on the District's fiscal year. A new category for "New Green Business Recognition" was added to recognize new green businesses that the District helped certify during the past fiscal year. Member McGill suggested naming the various five -year increments for the Water Quality Community Partners awards. In terms of the "Recycled Water Recognition" awards, he suggested that there be criteria for some minimum amount of water used. Chair Pilecki questioned the value of recognizing new green businesses when Sustainable Contra Costa, with whom the District has partnered, already does. COMMITTEE ACTION: Discussed and provided input to staff. 7. Standing Items a.
