Horstkotte, Jr., General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Comments received directed to the District's Environ- mental Impact Report covering Local Improvement District 54 Schedule 2. 1. PROBLEM: Board action on 6-14-73 established a review period of 40 days for the draft EIR. The review period expired July 30, 1973. All letters of comment received within the review period have been included as a part of the final EIR. One letter of comment, which is attached to this memo, was received after the review period. Since all of the significant comments by this letter have been covered in the final report, the staff feels that this letter need not be included in the report as the others have. 2.

Horstkotte, Jr. -- General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: CLAIM OF VERN S. RYAN IN THE AMOUNT OF $500.00. 1. PROBLEM: The Cost to install sewer main extension, Permit F45975, Job #545, was based on information received by Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Permit Department, which indicated the end of an existing line being 25' from a manhole. 2. BACKGROUND: The actual end of the line was 45' frori the manhole causing the Oontractor to have to remove fencing and shrubs to complete the job. The Contractor submitted a bill for $500.00 to cover the additional expense.

Horstkotte, Jr. - General -Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: Authorization of additional $5000.00 for Slide Repairs, 27" Line E between South Lucille and Bollinger Canyon Road. 1. PROBLEM: Due to updated appraisal of work to be done, monies as authorized are deemed insufficient. (Refer to attached memo of May 31, 1973, approved June 7, 1973). 2. BACKGROUND: Field Reconnaissance made by Burton H. Marliave, Consulting Geologist in April 1973 and subsequent surveys by the District in July 1973 were turned over to Harding -Lawson Associates, Consulting Engineering and Geologists for recommendations. It has been suggested by the latter firm that the slides at Sta. 139+90+ will require, at a minimum, a reestablishment of surface and sub- surface drainage to curtail further sliding action in the near future. The slide at Sta. 110+60+ will require immediate attention to securing the existing exposed sections of pipeline now temporar- ily supported over the undermined area. It has been suggested that; a minimum of 8 reinforced concrete caisson pile supports 20 ft. deep and integral offset concrete saddle be utilized at the pipe joints, excess cover now existing be removed from over the pipe in that area, and that surface and subsurface drainage be reestablished. Con- struction cost of these repairs and precautionary measures has been estimated at $15,000.00. 3. RECOMMENDATION: Having been reviewed by the District's Engineering and Maintenance Staff, it is recommended that the suggested methods to secure the trunk sewer from further damage and failure be adopted and that an additional $5000.00 be authorized for this project.
