DISCUSSION: On November 15,2007, the Board approved the proposal from Brown and Caldwell to design the tanks, coatings, and cathodic protection for replacement of the existing tanks at Angora Highlands and Country Club Heights. Subsequently, the Angora Highlands project was delayed, and staff is pursuing a permanent access road to the tank site prior to commencing construction. The Country Club Tank, however, is proceeding as planned, and staff expects to build this summer. The project will be bid under two separate contracts: (1) site grading, tank foundation and pipeline replacement and (2) tank construction, including cathodic protection and coatings application. The tank construction contract will also include re-coating at Forest Mountain Tank, to repair the damage incurred during the 2007 Angora Fire. Brown and Caldwell has completed the 90% tank plans and technical specifications for the project, which are currently being reviewed by District staff. District staff has completed the 50% site grading plans and is working on compiling the specifications for the project. Once the bid documents are received and compiled by the District on March 14, 2008, the schedule for the bid period and construction will be as follows.

Items to be discussed are the size and color of the tank, new site security and site stabilization measures, and any other topics of interest to the residents regarding this project. The total amount budgeted for the replacement of Country Club Tank, including consultant services and construction management, is $900,000. Brown and Caldwell expects that the tank, foundation, cathodic protection and coatings will cost between $480,500 and $572,000. This estimate does not include costs for waterline replacement and related appurtenances, electrical components, site stabilization and site security at the Country Club Tank site; a cost estimate for these elements will be prepared by staff prior to advertisement. The estimate also does not include the cost for re-coating Forest Mountain Tank; a cost estimate for this element will be prepared prior to advertisement. The Forest Mountain Tank recoating will be funded by the District's insurance carrier.

REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve Amendment NO.2 to Brown & Caldwell for additional flow monitoring services, in the amount of $100,500. DISCUSSION: Flow monitoring at selected points in the collection system during wet weather and dry weather flow periods is included in Brown & Caldwell's scope of services for the Collection System Master Plan project. However, due to the lack of rain and runoff in 2007 the wet weather flow monitoring performed did not show adequate results and collection system response. To adequately calibrate the hydraulic model for the sanitary sewer collection system wet weather flow monitoring, the process should be performed again in 2008. The proposed flow monitoring will include 16 flow monitors and five rain gauges for 45 days. Amendment NO.2 will be to Task Order 6 for the development of the Collection System Master Plan. SCHEDULE: Master Plan complete by March 2009. COSTS: $100,500.

Finance Committee: The committee met on January 25, 2008, and January 31, 2008. Minutes of these meetings are available upon request. The committee also met on February 5 and 6, 2008, to review the draft proposed budget and the 10-year forecast, in preparation for the upcoming Board Budget Workshop. The budget process time line is early this year and in compliance with Proposition 218 (Big Horn Bill). Executive Committee: The committee was to meet on February 8, 2008, however, this meeting has been cancelled and will be rescheduled. The agency has not met since the last Board meeting, however, Directors Jones and Rise, and Richard Solbrig attended an orientation presentation held at the District for new Board members. The presentation, given by water agency staff was very informative. The agency's next regularly scheduled meeting is on February 13. 2008. EL DORADO COUNTY WATER AGENCY PURVEYOR REPRESENTATIVE REPORT -8- REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 7, 2008 PAGE-3 Director Schafer reported he attended the recent CASA Conference in Indian Wells, California, held on January 9-12,2008. A summary of his conference notes were distributed to the Board members for their review. BOARD MEMBER REPORTS Director Claudio reported he attended the South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting and the Citizen's Alliance for Responsible Government meeting. General Manaoer: Richard Solbrig gave an update on the GENERAL MANAGER REPORT waterline funding grant process being pursued by the Lake Tahoe coalition. The initial write-up on the grant is due at the Congressional offices February 15, 2008, and the Senate offices on March 1, 2008. The grant is looking at short-term projects for the next four years with an emphasis on plan- ned capital projects to improve firefighting capabilities of utility agencies, surrounding the basin. The coalition level request is being pursued through the Tahoe Restoration Act, on a regional-wide basis, to maximize chances for further earmarks in Congress. 2:33 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING SEWER CAPACITY CHARGES Note: Notices of this Public Hearing were published in the Tahoe Daily Tribune on January 30,2008, and February 7,2008. President Mosbacher opened the public hearing. Rhonda McFarlane, Chief Financial Officer, introduced Tom Pavletic, Municipal Financial Service, who prepared the current study. The last time sewer capacity charges were reviewed by the Board was in 1999. Typically the fees are revisited every five years. She reported that the original intention was to line up review of these fees to coincide with Pathway 2007 however that process is moving slowly. Staff, with the Board's approval decided to proceed with this study. The Finance Committee has met with Tom Pavletic and Marv Winer and has reviewed the details of the report. Mr. Pavletic proceeded with a PowerPoint presentation of the methodology of determining a sewer capacity fee that included: -9- REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 7,2008 PAGE.4 . Setting Capacity Charges must: o Demonstrate a nexus between new develop- ment and the need to replace, expand or build facilities to accommodate it. o Not be arbitrary of discriminatory in its application to individuals or customer classes. o Meet the requirements of California Government Code Sections 66012-66014. . Most prominent requirement of the code is that the fee be reasonable. . Calculation Methodology Average Cost Method for Capacity Charge (replacement value, debt, capacity and demand.) . List of Sewer System Assets. . Sewer Units. . Current, Calculated and Recommended Unit Costs. . Unit Costs and Capacity Charges - 4% Inflation. . Projected Revenue from Capacity Charges (4% Infl.) Mr. Pavletic ended his presentation and answered questions for the Board. Director Rise questioned whether these funds generated from the increase in sewer capacity charges are only used to improve the infrastructure of the District. Rhonda McFarlane confirmed this statement and also included that this is a law of the State of California that these fees are dedicated to infrastructure and cannot be used for anything else. Director Jones stated he felt implementing this increase would be the prudent thing to do. The District needs to replace thousands of feet of lines as they are reaching the end of their life expectancy. Wanda Stanley addressed the Board with concerns regarding whether the public will be able to afford to build new homes or remodel their existing homes with these increases. Director Rise responded that the recom- mended increase for the first year, 2008, was not the full 16% increase, but reduced to 11.8% to try to help the economy. -10- SEWER CAPACITY CHARGES (continued) REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 7, 2008 PAGE-5 Director Claudio would like to see incentives built into the plan to distinguish whether it is a local resident or whether it is a second home. President Mosbacher informed him that making distinctions like that are not legal, and would be considered discrimination. SEWER CAPACITY CHARGES (continued) Rhonda McFarlane commented that District customers are receiving a tangible product when they pay fees. Waste- water is transported and processed. Potable water is delivered to their homes or businesses. Operating costs need to be collected either by initial connection to the system, in the form of a capacity fee, or passed on to the ratepayer. John Cefalu expressed his concerns regarding the high costs of fees for the public who wants to build or remodel residences andlor businesses who wish to come into the community or expand their existing businesses. He asked the Board to consider this increase carefully. He received clarification from the Board and Rhonda McFarlane regard- ing depreciation accounts savings and why a consultant was hired on this project. Rhonda McFarlane pointed out that the consultant's recommendation is being phased in over a five year period with the first year increase taking effect in 60 days. Director Jones received clarification that the TRPA Mitigation Fee of 5% may be eliminated during negotia- tions. Any savings will be applied to the ratepayer. John Runnels addressed the Board. He attended the Finance Committee meetings that discussed this report and sees this fee increase as protecting the existing ratepayers. He also received clarification on how this meeting was advertised to the public. The Public Hearing was closed at 3:39 P.M. Motion Jones 1 Second Claudio 1 Passed Unanimously to Enact Ordinance No. 502-08 to update the charges. Increase to be effective April 7, 2008, and to escalate on a four year progression. Chief Financial Officer: Rhonda McFarlane gave a STAFF REPORTS report on the budget process, especially for the new Board members. On March 13, 2008, a Board workshop is scheduled regarding the draft proposed budget. She reminded the Board that during this period, the -11- REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 7, 2008 PAGE. 6 documents are not legally public information and are considered "a work in progress" and should not be distributed to the public during this initial phase.

Approved Regular Meeting Minutes: January 17, 2008. CONSENT CALENDAR (continued) ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION The purpose of this Ordinance is to adopt certain amendments and additions to the Administrative Code regarding the District's authority to levy fines on an escalating basis for violations of the District's Ordinances, rules or regulations regarding either water or sewer work or connection(s). Currently, District staff (inspections, underground repair) has no ability to fine property owners who do not adhere to a correction notice issued to them to correct water andlor sewer violations. District staff can disconnect water andlor sewer services, but staff considers the disconnection process as a last resort. Having the ability to issue escalating fines will provide the District with an alternative mechanism through which to protect the public safety. Fines would be added to the customer's quarterly bill. Lisa Coyner and Cuz Cullen reported the District does not fully exercise the right to disconnect water and sewer services to a home when a correction notice is ignored out of concern for the residents in the home. Disconnecting service means the occupants would have to vacate the residence since Department of Health laws will not allow occupancy without sewer andlor water service. If customers know the District has the ability to fine, they would be more likely to correct the violation and avoid the fine process altogether. A lengthy discussion took place that covered: the current correction notice and disconnection procedures, the reasons why this ability is beneficial to the District and its customers, the need to clarify the escalating fining schedule, the fact that ignoring correction -14- FINING AUTHORITY REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 21,2008 PAGE - 3 notices puts the entire water system at risk of contamination from backflow devices, the public's perception of additional regulations, the percentage of sewer versus water customers who have correction notices issued to them, the administrative costs and savings to implement the ordinance, the need to treat violators consistently according to the severity of each fine, and staff's discretion to determine the scope of the violation and whether to issue a fine at all. Moved Rise 1 Second Claudio 1 Jones Excused 1 Passed to enact Ordinance No. 503-08 as written, providing additional fining authority pursuant to Government Code Section 53069.4; and directed staff to revisit the Ordinance with the Board if higher fining authorization is needed in order to protect the District's systems. Per discussions that took place when the Finance Committee met to discuss the budget, engineering staff has looked at the feasibility of hiring a new Junior Engineer for the 2008 construction season. The addition of an engineer was to mitigate what the District spends on consultant inspectors during the building season. With the current project work- load, the District will potentially need to hire two outside inspectors from May through October 2008. Based on the projected 1 0- Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the need for two outside inspectors would not diminish, but could be reduced by one by hiring an additional engineer. There is a lot of extra work this position could be responsible for during the winter months. The District will not be able to entirely eliminate the need for consultant services with a new hire due to the ongoing need of materials and testing services by a certified lab. In addition, in some years the number of projects in the CIP would mandate the need for four inspectors. Therefore, at times an additional outside inspector will need to be hired. The recruitment would be predicated on the new position being a field inspector from May through November for at least a four year period. The proposed salary is based on a survey of comparable agencies.

Jim Hoggatt reported the previous Board action eliminated the need to contract for a second inspector. The Board discussed travel time included in the contract, the feasibility of using a courier for delivering testing samples, and doing testing in- house. There are strict procedures that must be followed, and tests must be performed by a lab that is certified to do those specific types of tests as an objective party.

Water and Wastewater Operations Committee: The meeting scheduled for February 19 was cancelled. Executive Committee: The committee met to discuss provisions of the general manager's employment contract. 3:20 - 3:35 P.M. Directors Jones and Rise, Dennis Cocking, and Richard Solbrig attended the February 13 board meeting. Director Jones questioned several expenditures since none were of benefit to South Lake Tahoe. The next meeting will be held March 12. Director Claudio relayed his thoughts on the sewer capacity plan that was approved February 7. He objected to the process (i.e., use of consultants, timing). General Manager: Richard Sol brig reported that the sewer lateral inspection and testing issue will be discussed during the Water and Wastewater Operations Committee meeting on March 3, and also at the Technical Review Committee meeting that staff will hold for local contractors to gather their input. -16- BOARD MEMBER STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS MEETING BREAK EL DORADO COUNTY WATER AGENCY PURVEYOR REPRESENTATIVE REPORT BOARD MEMBER REPORT GENERAL MANAGER REPORT REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - FEBRUARY 21,2008 PAGE. 5 District Information Officer: Dennis Cocking reported on the State of California's budget shortfall of $1 6 billion dollars. It is likely the State will make another attempt to raid special districts of their property tax revenues, which would have a huge negative impact on the District. He also reported a Lake Tahoe Fire Commission was formed to make findings as a result of the Angora fire. The District submitted a finding related to waterline funding that was supported by fire chiefs, which might help in Washington. General Counsel and Land Application Manager: Gary Kvistad and Hal Bird reported on the State Water Resources Control Board's recycled water policy to develop on a uniform basis how recycled water could be used. The District submitted comments, and there will be another public comment time period. The final policy could significantly impact the development of the master plan in Alpine County.

DISCUSSION: A Booster Station to boost the water from the main zone to the Twin Peaks and Flagpole zones has been in our 10-year planning budget for the last five or six years. The project never met the requirements to move up the priority list until the Angora Fire. After the Angora Fire, District staff met and determined this project should move up on the priority list to improve our source of water to these zones. It was scheduled to be constructed in 2012. The current schedule is to design in 2008 and construct in 2009 and 2010. District staff received and reviewed proposals from several engineering firms and determined Carollo Engineers had the best proposal. SCHEDULE: As soon as possible.

The information contained herein is proprietary and we request that it be kept confidential to the extent possible. The Estimated Engineering Hours and Costs worksheet is attached. The not to exceed cost for the required tasks contained in the Scope of Services provided in the Appendix is $41 ,'. FG. The final Scope of Services shall be discussed based on the District's desired level of effort for each of these tasks and any optional tasks. Engineering fees will be based on the current rates in effect at the time work is performed. This estimate utilizes our current (2007-2008) rates, which have been escalated to 2008-09 rates based on our best projections at this time, as our salaries are adjusted in March. Please note that while Flow Science has agreed to be part of the Carollo team should an in-depth . surge analysis be required for the project, we have not included. hours or costs for their services at this time. A preliminary assessment of the surge potential will be conducted in-house as part of Subtask 1.6, with results provided to the District for review, prior to moving forward with a more advanced evaluation through Flow Science. We will be pleased to discuss the Scope of Work and the Labor Hour and Cost Estimate at the City's convenience.

Hi Jim, I talked to Scott and Tim about our discussion today. First, we are all really excited about being able to work with you on this project. Based on those discussions we have made a number of changes to the hours and fees spreadsheets. These are: 1. I am no longer shown on the team and have no hours. 2. We will use Tim Taylor as the checker for the civil and mechanical portions of this project. The 3 hours per sheet for P&S checking have been moved to Tim's hours. 3. I changed checking for the E, I&C hours to a senior engineer not a partner. 4. I moved a few of the QA/QC hours from my hours column to Scott's hours column to check various deliverables. 5. This increased Auerbach's hours and fees and decreased Carollo's hours and fees. If you would like a revised organization chart we can provide that. You also asked what Tim's Role on the project will be. I have separated out Tim's hour on the hours spreadsheet as best I understand them so you can see these. Tim's role is separate from the rest of Auerbach's hours, so Tim will be doing the following: 1. All work with permitting. This includes coordination with the District on the permit issues and if you would like to add the total permitting task, Tim can add this too. 2. QA/QC on all submittals and especial the detailed checking of the Civil and Mechanical drawing. 3. All the Civil Design at the pump station including the plans and specifications. 4. Responsibility for incorporating the BMPs for the entire project as required by the TRPA, the Lahontan RWQCB, etc. 5. Coordination with the Auerbach surveying team. 6. Utility location. 7. Engineering Services during Construction for the civil portion of the work and coordination with regulators as required. 8. Auerbach Project Management - so attendance at project meetings. Hope this answers your questions. Let me know if you have any more. Again we (at least Scott and Tim) look forward to working with you on this project. Bob Robert A. Gillette, P.E.

DISCUSSION: The contract for the General Manager provides for a salary adjustment effective January 24, 2008, which shall be set between 95% and 105% of the survey maximum for the three industry surveys utilized for the General Manager position. All survey figures have been received, and presented to the Executive Committee. The General Manager met with the Executive Committee and a recommendation will be made to the full Board. During review of the contract, a clerical error was discovered, which is a discrepancy between the contract term and term date. The intent was for the contract to be in effect for three and a half years starting May 31, 2007. This would make the contract expiration date as January 20, 2011 (not January 20, 2010, as stated in the contract). SCHEDULE: Notify payroll of salary adjustment retroactive to January 24, 2008 and correct contract.

The package also includes protection of any future Proposition 42 transfers (Proposition 1 A). It would allow the State to borrow the money, but pay it back within three years. It also would restrict the State to only two such transactions every ten years. Finally, the package includes legislation (AB 1039) to streamline the environmental process while safeguarding environmental protections. It also includes legislation (AB 1467) that authorizes the State and regional agencies to engage in public-private partnerships, as it relates to goods movement, to attract private investment for the development of transportation infrastructure in the State.

If a planned project is not able to remove all it's roadblocks before its scheduled start, then it dies. In the old days the project would be delayed and not have to start from scratch. The project demands on CalTrans are so great that forming partnerships with community entities is now the best way to get a project completed. CalTrans has it's own toolbox. Unfortunately, some of these tools, like those dealing with water filtration, are no long sufficient. *" Our expertise is building and maintaining roads not water filtration. We would welcome a partnership with the South Tahoe Public Utility District to design, build and maintain the needed filtration facilities. '''' Email between the City ofSTL and TRPA , From: David Jinkens Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 To: Charles Emmett Cc: City Council Subject: Hwy 50 Update I issues I have been a part of the discussions to move forward the Highway 50 Project for over 5 1/2 years. We have pressed Caltrans to do its part. I believe they are doing their share and want them to do more. The Region needs to step up to the plate and recognize and support that a fully funded and completed project is better than a piece- meal approach. Until the Region, as part of its recommendations for the STIP, recommend full funding for all segments and improvements, Caltrans is not obliged to recommend or seek full funding from a variety of sources for the project as I have been told in the past because it is not clear to them what our priorities are all about. It has to be first to the region before we can argue that it has to be first for Caltrans. Tom Brennan made this point perfectly clear in hs response to a question at the City Council. Caltrans, TRPA, TTD and other supporters need to make clear our Region's number 1 priority. We need State, Federal, SNLPA, and other funds to make it happen. Caltrans needs to do its part, and so does the region. --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Charles Emmett Sent: Wed 3/5/2008 To: David Jinkens Cc: City Council Subject: Hwy 50 Update I issues Caltrans is pursuing this project under the heading of water quality. Although this project provides suitable water quality benefits between Trout Creek and Lakeview, there are only very limited improvements North of Lakeview. For this reason, the Lakeview to Stateline portion of this project is not that critical for water quality improvements. Further, the Executive Director of the Lahontan Water Board stated that he concurred with this and suggested that he would rather delay this portion of the water quality improvements until Caltrans was willing to incorporate the more advanced water quality treatment measures that have been used in other areas. So, although the treatment of this area is indeed crucial to water quality, what is being proposed by Caltrans is not considered prudent at this time for water quality purposes. -'" t t-k::i.fcLtl_.~ () ,_.)-1-. b j J'-'"",", t:NS --{A ESOURCES}-- MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Richard Solbrig, General Manager David R. French February 28, 2008 Washington Visit On February 25 and 26, meetings where held with the District's congressional delegation to discuss the fiscal year 2009 appropriations request. Attending the meetings on behalf of District were Director Jim Jones and Public Information Officer Dennis Cocking. FY 2009 Appropriations Request lake Tahoe Community Fire Protection Project The District is seeking $5 million in federal assistance for planning, design, permitting, materials, installation, and construction costs for water system infrastructure (including waterlines, water storage tanks, booster pump stations, multi-agency interconnections, and emergency power generation equipment) which has a direct relationship to wildland fire suppression. Summary As a result of the meetings, the District's congressional delegation agreed to pursue funding in the FY 2009 appropriations for the Lake Tahoe Community Fire Protection Project. Expanding the request to include the entire Lake Tahoe basin was recognized in the meetings as a positive means to elevate the regional significance and focus on the extent of the threat of catastrophic fire to the region. The meetings demonstrated that the District's congressional delegation strongly supports its efforts to respond to catastrophic fire, as authorized under the Tahoe Restoration Act. ENS Resources, Inc. 1747 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., / Suite 420 Washington, D.C. 20006/ Telephone (202) 466-3755 Telefax: (202) 466-3787 www.ensresources.com i ~ Congressional Meetings A comprehensive PowerPoint presentation was prepared for all of the meetings and used after an introduction by Director Jones. Dennis Cocking lead all of the meeting participants through a background of the issue, basin-wide needs, federal role and budget. Strengthening the presentation was awareness of recent fires in the basin as highlighted by background pictures on the slides of the Angora Fi reo The first meeting was with Ryan Hunt, staff to Senator Feinstein, who worked with the District last year on the successful request and is very familiar with the issues. Hunt appreciated that the District took to heart the desire of the Senator to focus FY09 appropriations on projects with regional significance. He suggested that a single letter, signed by the entire partnership, be sent to Senator Feinstein and Senator Reid. This letter should address the need, note how priorities for the funds are determined, include the requested funding level and acknowledge that the District will receivelmanage the funds. The District ended the meeting by expressing their appreciation for the efforts of the Senator to assist the district on an array of issues and for her dedication to protect the region from catastrophic fire. The second meeting was with Brian McKeon, staff to Senator Boxer, who also worked on the FY08 request. He appreciated the regional nature of the request and expressed that it was a solid proposal that fits with the Senator's priorities. He plans to work with Senator Feinstein's office as the appropriations process moves forward. The final meeting was with Congressman Doolittle and his Legislative Director Evan Goitein. The Congressman was very interested in the Angora fire and how efforts by the District helped prepare for and respond to the fire. He also wanted to know how the FY09 request would improve the ability of those in the basin to respond to future fires. Congressman Doolittle stated that he would do all he could to support this request and at the same time expressed concern about the outcomeltiming of FY09 appropriations. In closing, the District thanked Congressman Doolittle for his many efforts on their behalf over the years. Action Items · Finalize Partnership letter for Senate Delegation (March) · Arrange for District Congressional staff to visit the Partnership to discuss the request and tour basin (March-April-May) · Create a detailed budget for the project (March) · Arrange meeting with the Office of Senator Reid together with the Incline Village Washington representative (ENS) 2 , 'I · Solicit letters of support for the request from a diverse cross-section of the community (Ongoing) · Transmit letter of thanks to meeting attendees Outlook The submittal of project requests to congressional offices jumpstarts the annual appropriation process. Each member has their own procedure for the review of these requests, which if approved will be submitted to the appropriation subcommittees with jurisdiction over specific federal agencies or departments. These subcommittees will then hold hearings, review the Administration's budget proposal and begin the process of drafting individual spending bills. Theoretically, all FY 2009 appropriations bills are to be signed into law by the President by September 30, 2008, the last day of the FY 2008 federal fiscal year. In recent years, Congress has failed to pass final spending bills until November, December or even January. The following is a general timeline for congressional action. February to June - Subcommittees hold budget oversight hearings. March and April - House and Senate Budget Committees pass a budget resolution by April 15, setting the 302(a) allocation, or "top-line" for all discretionary federal spending. (It is increasingly common that a formal budget resolution is not agreed upon) March/April/May - After reviewing appropriations requests from multiple constituencies, Members and Senators will submit their priority requests to the Appropriations Subcommittees. May - House and Senate Appropriations Committees subdivide their allocations which are distributed among the Subcommittees in the House and Senate. May to July - Committees begin the "markup" process, setting targets for funding of both national programs and earmarks. Fall 2008/Spring 2009 - Conference reports are negotiated, passed and enacted with funding outcomes for appropriations projects finalized and signed by the President. 3 Lake Tahoe Community Fire Prevention Partnership 2008/09 Update D • South Tahoe PUD (California) � , 1) • North Tahoe PUD (California) ?(),, • Tahoe City PUD (California) ke • Incline Village GID (Nevada) (A- • Round Hill GID (Nevada) d � • Douglas County Community Development (Nevada) 1 Background • Prior to 1960's - Majority of water systems were either small independent water companies or private domestic wells • Passage of Clean Water Act (1972) motivated many small private system owners to seek buyers due to increased regulations • Public agencies began purchasing these systems and interconnecting infrastructure • Basin -wide, public water agencies serve over 20,000 residential customers and over 1,000 commercial customers Background • In most cases, agencies mandated to provide domestic water service not fire flows • Systems were never designed, nor intended, to provide water volumes and pressures currently required by fire codes • New fire codes can be adopted much faster than infrastructure can be replaced Local Water Agencies Response • STPUD—Sincel994 — $25 million for waterline replacement — $9 million for supply wells — $1.5 million for booster pump stations — $5.3 million for water storage tanks — $6.2 million for emergency generators • Similar expenditures by water agencies basin -wide The Federal Component • TRA Sec. 2 (8) approximately 40 percent of the trees in the Lake Tahoe basin are either dead or dying, and the increased quantity of combustible forest fuels has significantly increased the risk of catastrophic forest fire in the Lake Tahoe basin; • TRA Sec.2 (9) as the largest land manager in the Lake Tahoe basin, with 77 percent of the land, the Federal Government has a unique responsibility for restoring environmental health to Lake Tahoe • Long - standing policy of fire suppression in Lake Tahoe Basin • Long - standing history (until recently) of limited forest thinning and fuel reduction /removal in Lake Tahoe Basin • With increased development, these policies have created a "perfect storm" scenario for wild land fire The Challenge • South Tahoe PUD — Recent study identified 185,000 lineal feet of undersized waterlines (4" or less) — Six -inch or larger lines necessary to provide approximately 1,000 gpm fire flows — Replacement costs for 6 -10" lines are estimated at $300 /foot — Project cost: $54 million in today's dollars — At current agency budgetary levels - 20+ years to complete • Similar infrastructure challenges exist within virtually all Lake Tahoe Basin water agencies The Challenge • In addition to waterlines, new storage tanks, multi- agency interconnections, booster pump stations, emergency generators, and additional hydrants are also necessary. • Sierra winters and TRPA grading requirements narrow construction window to 5 -6 months per year. The Challenge • The Gondola Fire, the Angora Fire, and the Washoe Fire demonstrate that wildfire can move from the forest to developed areas, from developed areas to the forest, and does not honor ten -year capital improvement plans. • Federal and state funds will accelerate the replacement of water infrastructure to enhance the ability to fight the fires when they occur. • They will occur • Now is the time to act Thank You
