OLD BUSINESS Kt )WN ANI) cALDWELL REPORT Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief hngineer, reviewed for Board Members progressive actions taken in the development of the treatment plant expansion program and water reclamation facilities. 1ic indicated that, because regulatory requirements had not remained static, it had been necessary to progressively revise District planning and report sub- mittals in order to satisfy subsequent newer Lequirements. Mr. Horstkotte etated the District had State approval to submit its final plans and speci- fications for the treatment plant expansion program and water reclamation facilities by October 1, 1972, vice May 1, 1972. As previously requested, Mr. Horstkotte noted that Board Members had received a copy of a financial report by Brown and Caldwell indicating current status of engineering ser- vices in connection with design, consrrucrJon and enlargements of the waste water treatment plant. After introduction by Mr. Horstkotte, Dr. David Caldwell, Brown and Caldwell, introduced his associates in the audience and their area of re- sponsibility for the design of the proposed new treatment plant facilities. Dr. Caldwell, utilizing a wall chart, indicated that b=tsic outward design of the new plant, and its flow processes, were basically unchanged from that previously submitted to the State regulatory agency. He then explained in detail various aspects of the plant design, including methods for sludge handling. In response to query by Member Mitchell, Or. Caldwell indicated that operations of the Advance Test Treatment Facility had made a number of positive contributions to the design of the new plant, particularly insofar as internal operations of the new plant were concerned. Dr. Caldwell then outlined in detail the manner and scope of operations the ATTF had contributed to the design of the new plant. Interspersed throughout Dr. Caldwell's comments, Board. Members posed questions and discussed various aspects of the plant design. Dr. Caldwell stated current plant design does permit a degree of flexi- bility for future handling of sludge but that the District would be com- mitted to: Lime feeding; biological nitrification; and biological deni- trification. Dr. Caldwell explained to Board Members a research project that Brown and Caldwell had under consideration regarding incineration and recalci- ilea-don of lime, and which could have impact on the design for the District's new treatment plant. Dr. Caldwell indicated representatives from the Environ- mental Protection Agency had expressed interest in funding 75 percent of such a project with District participation limited to 25 percent "in kind" funding. After discussion by Board Members, staff and Dr_ Caldwell, it was the consensus of the Board that Dr. Caldwell be authorized to prepare an application for federal funding of the research project with sponsorship to be by the Sanitary District. In addition, Dr. Caldwell was to prepare an estimate of approximate cost for the research project for submission to the Board Members at the meeting of June 1, 1972. After introduction by Dr. Caldwell, Mr. Mike Flanagan of Brown and Caldwell, explained various aspects and responded to questions on the pro- posed multiplex control system designed for nenew treatment plant facilities. 2 MI. Flanagan presented Board Members with a copy of report he had prepared on multiplex eontrol system and the matter was discussed'in some detail. BECHTEL CORPORATION REPORT Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief Engineer, noted that Board Members had received a ropy of a financial and work progress report from Bechtel Cor- poration regarding the waste water reclamation project. Board Members, staff and Dr. Clark Weddle of Bechtel CoLporation, discussed at length various aspects of the Bechtel report. Dr. Weddle noted that under provisions of the "Agree- ment for Engineering and Coustruetion Management Services", signed on December 7, 1971, by Bechtel Corpoiation and the Sanitary District, Bechtel Corporation had completed 27 percont of the preliminary engineering and final design work at a monetaTy cot of approximately 31-32 percent of the estimated total cost for the project. Board Members, staff and Dr. Weddle discussed the Board's previous decision to limit Bechtel Corporation work under the December 7, 1971, contract to 3O percent and its relationship to theDistricts Environmental Impact State- ment which now requires •revision. Mr. Horstkotte explained that the original impact statement was prepared from data now obsolete and then indicated the specific areas where revision was necessary. Mr. Horstkotte explained that State certification of the Districts proposed treatinent expansion program was contingent upon approval of a revised environmental impact statement. A general discussion followed with Dr. Weddle indicating that weekly cost for Bechtel Corporation to continue present operations under terms of its December, 1971, contract would amount to approximately $10,000.00. After further dis- cussion and indication that certification of the District's project may be forthcoming by. June 15, 1971, it was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member- Boneysteele, that authorization be given for Bechtel Corporation to extend its preliminary engineering and final desi.gli work to a maximum of 40 percent under terms of the December 7, 1971, cuntree't_ Carried by the following vote: AYES: Members: Boneysteele, Gibbs, 4itche11, Rustigian arid Allan NOES; Members: None ABSENT: Members: None • Member Mitchell asked that Bechtel Co/poration representatives monitor closely the progress of the Envirooluental LrnpncL Statement in order to co- ordinate their activities with the certification process.

OLD BUSINESS AUTHORIZATION FOR PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY TO EXECUTE RECLAIMED WATER CONTRACT WITH CONTRA COSTA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager -Chief Engineer, acknowledged, in the audience, Mr. John Nelson and Mr. Fred McLaren from the staff of the State Water Resources Control Board. In addition, representing Brown and Caldwell, Mr. Frank Kersnar and associates, and representing Bechtel Corporation, Mr. George Sawyer and Dr. Clark Weddle. Mr. Horstkotte explained that he had invited these gentlemen to answer any questions Board Members may have regarding the District's proposed expansion program and the water reclamation contract with Contra Costa County Water District. Member Gibbs, Chairman of the District's Contract Negotiating Committee, indicated he had reservations on whether filtration of effluent was an essential requirement for discharge into San Francisco Bay by 1975. In the event it was not, Member Gibbs had doubts that the proposed contract for water reclamation with the Water District was economically viable. Member Boneysteele, also a member of the District's Negotiating Committee, and Member Mitchell expressed their concern regarding the cost for filtration and denitrification of effluent. Mr. John Nelson, grant administrator for the State Water Resources Control Board, addressed the Board. Mr. Nelson stated State requirements on water pollution were undergoing rapid change due to action by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency. He indicated the State Water Resources Control Board had approved 9 the first stage of the Delta -Basin Plan which provided for discharge ,t effluent trom the extremities of San Francisco Bay to the central part of the Bay. The "uIV alternative to this plan was a program for water reclamation, such as proposed by the District. Mr. Nelson stated that discharge requirements by lune, 1976, would specify no toxicity or biostimulants. He emphasized, therefore, that, in order to meet these 1976 requirements, filtration and denitrification was necessary. Mr. Fred McLaren, responsible Fr water pollution enforcement for the State Water Resources Control Board, referred to the existing requirements on the District and stated the discharge requirements of June, 1976, would also be appli- cable to other munieipaiities and to Indnntry. Board Members and staff queried Mr. Nelson and Mr. McLaren throughout their presentation and discussed various aspects and ramifications of the 1976 discharge requirements upon the Distr'et and other dischargers. Mr. Frank Kersnar, Vice President of Brown and Caldwell, who had nnrtLcipattet in the preparation of the Contra Costa County Water Quality Study, explained to Board Members that criteria used in that study for discharge of effluent into the Bay was based upon criteria established by the State in 1970. He indicated that if 1976 criteria specified no toxicity or biostimulaars, then filtration and denitrification was necessary. Mr. Nelson commented on the proposed water reclamation contract between the Sanitary District and the Water Dlstrict. Be noted that, as grant inInd administrator for the State Board, the contract was deficient in two respects. The contract provided no written guarantee that the Water Discrict must buy reclaimed water from the District and, secondly, there must be sumo indication that the Water District intends to expand the use of reclaimed water. Mr. Nelson stated he had discussed these two points with representatives of the Water District. To correct the deficiencies, his office, es a minimum, would require the Water District to adopt a regulation stating that industry within a specified service area must use reclaimed water for cooling purposes and, secondly, the Water District adopt a resolution of intent to expand the quantity and use of reclaimed water. A thio point raised by Mr. Nelson concerning the contract was that the Water District must complete its water supply contract negotiat!nna withthe U.S. Government t the earliest practical date, certainly prior to \k lune 30, 1973, as specifie in the contract. in the event these conditions were not met, no grant fundsisould be authorized. Board Members, staff, Mr. James Carniato, representing Counsel for the District, and Mr. Douglas Flett from the Water District discussed various aspects of Mr. Nelson's comments. Mr. George Sawyer, Bechtel Corporation, commented that, in order to meet 1976 discharge requirements as enunciated this evening, tiltration and denitri- fication as minimum was necessary and perhaps additional treatment may he needed such as carbon filtration. In response to Member Gibbs, Mr. Nelson indicated his office would provide the District with written confirmation that 1976 discharge requirements would necessitate filtration and denitrification. Board Members, staff and representa- tives in the audience discussed the impact of the 1976 discharge requirements on the District and surrounding communities. Mt. Kersnar commented that the District's proposed expansion treatment plant program with water reclamation was entirely compatible with current ,b - regional pJannng or any alternative plans that may be adopted. Board Members, staff, Mr. Carniato, Mr. Flett and others discussed at length various aspects of the proposed contract with primary emphasis on the advisability of amending the contract to reflect the views of Mr. Nelson, specifically that the Water District must buy the District's reclaimed water. After motion had been made and seconded to authorize the President and Secretary to execute the water reclamation contract subject to amendment, further discus- wion followed and the motion was subsequently withdrawn. 7 RESOLUTION NO. 72-24 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT ANI) SECRETARY TO EXECUTE THE RECLAIMED WATER CONTRACT WITH THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT After further discussing the feasibitity, exploLed by Nr. b'lett, of anotner meeting with the Boncd of the Water District, iL wa-; moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member boneysteele, that Resolutiva No. 72 24 be adopted, subject to clerical correction on page 3 of the contract and correction of Exhibit 'A' to the contract.

BACKGROUND; Muir Oaks is an old partially developed subdivision on the perimeter of the City of Martinez (and CCCSD). Adjacent to this sub- division are homes fronting on Vine 'Hill Way which are considered part of the area sewering problem. Lots are large (1 acre 4) in the area, streets (except Vine Hill Way) are not public being dedicated but not accepted by the County, and the soil cover over sand rock is shallow. Even with large lots and long drain fields, septic Systems have failed in inany cases. Many vacant lots remain unused because the Health Officer could not get satisfactory percolation tests and has imposed a building moratorium. This area is Atibttary-, to the old Martinez City system. which means that lots obtaining Service imust annex to the City as well as well as Central Contra Costa Sanitary District. A ridge line divides the area so that a portion must be served by gravity to Nt. View Sanitary District, It has been proposed previously by both residents and Mt View Sanitary District that the entire area be pumped to Mt. View Sanitary District to avoid City annexation but this proposalhas been resisted by Central Contra Costa Sanitary District management, Martinez„and the LAN executive ()facer° Sewer service to those who need it is now stalemated because there are enough opposed resident „Landowners/voters to vote down any annexation proposal to Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and Martinez. Over the past four years, we have had many meetings with area resi- dents, City officials and Health Department personnel trying to resolve this probleii and the conclusion that we have finally, reached is that a local improvement district under the Board of Supervisors administered by this Districes Board is the only available method of providing and paying for sewers to solve thelaealth problem. The procedures would be similar to those empioyed in LIDs 30 and 40, where annexation is not a requisite until service is achieved, but .very lot is assessed for its share of the proceedings. The tentative and proximate schedule of events discussed follows: June 1972 - Agreement of the Sanitary Distrtct Board of Directors to ti7e proposal and to administration of the LID, July 1972 - Review by LAFC to fix boundary between Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and Mt View Sanitary District in area. Sept, 1972 - Issuance of Certificate of Necessity for sewering by Flealth Officer to County Board of Supervisors, Oct, 1972 - Formalization of agreement between County and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District on procedure. Nov, 1972 to April 1973 - Engineering and assessment detail work as Central Contra Costa Sanitary District work load permits May 1973 - Formation and assessment hearing, Sept, 1973 - Complete installation.
