Other Aaenda Items a. Receive Quarterly Permit Counter Activity Report Ms. Gemmell reviewed the Permit Counter Activity Report included in the agenda materials. There were over 700 permit applications this month. It was noted that with the reopening of the Permit Counter to in -person services on July 12, the same level of activity was obtained and that the figures being shown today are through the end of June for services completed through Microsoft Teams videocalls, emails, and phone calls. In response to a question from Member Hockett, Ms. Gemmell advised that the Permit Counter process put in place at the beginning of July has remained smooth and believes that with the hiring of greeters, staff can focus on the technical work rather than the status of permits and plans. Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Minutes September 13, 2021 Page 3 Chair McGill requested trending information on permit totals for the last six years. Ms. Gemmell advised that in 2015 there were more commercial permits but a shift towards residential permits has been seen in the last couple of years. A trend chart will be provided with the next Permit Counter quarterly report. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update. b. Receive Pharmaceutical Collection Program update Mr. Wyatt reviewed the presentation included in the agenda material. Central San has collected 149,600 pounds of medication through June 2021. In response to a question from Member Hockett, Mr. Wyatt advised that with the recent uptick in manufacturer involvement, the financial impact is approximately $10, 000 compared to $30, 000 in the past. Cost will continue to diminish as Central San loses more collection sites. Mr. Wyatt showed a google map of all the site locations available for collection. Member Hockett appreciated the number of locations that were available to the customers. Chair McGill asked about the cities adopting an ordinance for this program. Mr. Wyatt advised that he believes this is unnecessary as the state is going to mandate a program shortly which will include sharps. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update. C. Receive update on Recycled Water Quality Order requiring Quarterly Site Inspections Mr. Foss reviewed the presentation included in the agenda material. Member Hockett expressed her appreciation for the added requirement of self - monitoring on the District website and stated that the customer outreach and communication is awesome, and the inspection empowers the customers to be more responsible. In response to a question posed by Chair McGill, it was stated the new requirement requires less Central San staff effort, approximately six weeks of labor hours. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update. Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Minutes September 13, 2021 Page 4 d. Receive update on Concord Community Reuse Project (formerly Concord Naval Weapons Station) Ms. Gemmell reviewed the slides provided in the agenda material. She informed the Committee that Concord had interviews to select a new master developer team for the Concord Community Reuse Project on August 21, 2021. Concord staff selected Concord First! and will likely negotiate terms of the Agreement and bring it back to the City Council in the first quarter of 2022. Ms. Gemmell informed the Committee that she and Senior Engineer Dan Frost met with Seeno and Parsons of Concord First!, for a kick-off meeting last week, and confirmed that Concord will be leaving the land use intact and there will be no major changes to the land use plan. It was noted that they are looking to invest approximately $300 million between all of the partners to get through the California Environmental Quality Act process over the next three years and start the design for utilities in the third year. Ms. Gemmell provided a schematic of the wastewater system for the Concord Reuse project and stated that the developer prefers all of the flow coming up to Central San, instead of having two offsite development locations. Multiple options are available where Central San does not have to be in charge of both service areas, including installation of meters and negotiating with Concord as to treatment and pump station operations. In response to a question posed by Chair McGill, Ms. Gemmell advised that the real sewer pipelines will need to be upsized. During the meeting with Seeno and Parsons there was a discussion regarding the relationship between Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) and Central San. It was noted that there is a good partnership and agreement on the recycled water wholesale concept, but no agreement between the two districts has been finalized. Concord First! will need to work through CCWD on alignment and both agencies to discuss demands for the project site. The last discussion item was the anticipation of 13,000 dwelling units, including the combination of a Coast Guard project and the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) redevelopment project which may have higher demand than anticipated because Concord First! wants to include more accessory dwelling units into the development to help with their 25% affordability requirement. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update. Real Estate, Environmental & Planning Committee Minutes September 13, 2021 Page 5 e. Receive update on the most recent meeting of the Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA) Ms. Schectel reviewed the memorandum included in the agenda material. Regarding PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), the first phase of the regional study has been completed. For the second phase of the project, sampling will likely begin in October and Central san will be participating in the sampling collecting samples upstream of the treatment plant. Central San's pre-treatment group will collect the samples. Chair McGill stated that he really appreciates receiving BACWA updates and that the industry is staying on top of issues.
