BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4a
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Ross Johnson, Manager of Plant Operations
MEETING DATE: April 16, 2008
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Plant GIS (Geographic Information System)
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve Proposal from Winzler & Kelly for Phase 2, Task 4
and 5, for mapping of the District's Wastewater Treatment Plant and Emergency Retention
Basin, in the amount not to exceed $78,033.
DISCUSSION: The treatment plant site has undergone more than a dozen major
modifications and improvements since its original construction in 1959. Numerous in-house
changes have never been accurately captured in a single document. Some of the older plan
sets are inaccurate and difficult or impossible to read. The lack of accurate comprehensive
plant drawings leads to significant operation, design, construction problems and costs. A
modern GIS mapping system will allow more accurate electronic documentation of future
changes as well as a formal means to capture existing individual knowledge. Staff
recommends the professional services of Winzler & Kelley for this project because of their
associated work on the Final and Secondary Effluent Pump Stations.
SCHEDULE: June 2009
COSTS: Not to exceed $78,033
ACCOUNT NO: 1006-8921

SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITIES DISTRICT
WWTP AND ERB GIS DATABASE MAPPING
SCOPE OF SERVICES
This scope delineates the effort and deliverables for utility mapping services for the South Tahoe
Public Utilities District (District) Winzler & Kelly is to develop a comprehensive Geographic
Information System database of below-grade assets and utilities for the District's Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) and Emergency Retention Basins (ERB).
The proposed scope includes five Tasks conducted during two phases. Phase One would include
Tasks 1, 2 and 3.
Task 1.0 - Geodatabase Design Criteria (Complete)
To ensure the capture of relevant facility map data for current and future use by District staff, the
project would begin by establishing Geodatabase Design Criteria for mapping efforts These
criteria would determine parameters and guidelines for collecting, identifying, and recording of
WWTP and ERB assets and utilities.
Using the existing database as the baseline model, Winzler & Kelly will both extract from and
build upon the database to create geodatabase design criteria to meet the needs of the WWTP and
ERB mapping effort. During this task W&K, with the assistance of the District, will determine if
existing datasets will adequately capture asset information inside the plant boundaries, as well as
develop new datasets when warranted. In addition, effort during this task will.
• Clarify types of point data sets - valves, manholes, hydrants, vaults, etc
• Clarify types of line data sets - pipes, conduit, etc.
• Clarify types of polygon data sets - buildings, vaults, clarifiers, etc
• Identify naming conventions of assets and utilities.
• Reference existing Hansen Database (if applicable).
• Identity dataset type for each asset (point vs line vs. polygon)
• Identify data fields for each asset dataset. (valve vs pipe vs conduit)
• Capture of abandoned assets
• Capture of surface features related to underground utilities or assets
• Identify tie-ins to the existing assets mapped in the District's geodatabase.
• Identification of above-ground assets which serve as references for underground
assets and utilities.
• Identify any assets to be excluded from the initial mapping effort due to size,
location, or service
• Capture source data (drawing, institutional knowledge, etc ) for underground utilities
and assets.
• Identify if mapping of assets, utilities, and services inside or underneath building
envelopes should be included.
• Identify any mapping of assets, utilities, and services outside the WWTP and ERB
property boundaries that should be included as part of the project (eg. 30" ERB Line)
A kick off meeting between the W&K team and District staff is included in this task to introduce
team members and discuss and agree upon the design criteria for use throughout the mapping
-4-
effort. Upon conclusion of this task, a technical memorandum prepared by Wmzler & Kelly will
be issued to detail the agreed upon criteria for asset and utility snapping at the WWTP and ERB
Task 2.0 - Site Survey and Mapping (Complete)
W&K will enlist the services of Turner & Associates again to complete an entire survey of the
plant. The survey will be tied to the California State Plane Coordinate System and will include
all surface features and site improvements at the WWTP and ERB. Due to the large area
requiring survey, an aerial survey is proposed. The completed topographic map would then be
imported in the GIS database, establishing the base map upon which the utilities and assets will
be recorded.
Task 3.0 - Historical Drawine/Document Review (Complete)
Winzler & Kelly will review the available District drawings and other related documents to
identify the underground services and utilities which tie the plant systems together. W&K
already has many of these historical documents on file from the F/SEPS project and is familiar
with many more that reside at the District's office. Completion of this task, along with the
District's current geodatabase and the completed survey of the W WTP and ERB will allow W&K
to estimate the necessary level-of-effort on the remaining two tasks W&K would also begin
redline drawings during this task for use during geomappsng work in Task 4.
Phase Two would include Tasks 4 and 5:
Task 4.0 - Undereround Utility and Asset Mapping
Using Turner's survey and topographic map as a base map loaded into the GIS Database and
building from the mapped F/SEPS project area, W&K will take the underground services and
utilities identified during the drawing and document review task and, following the agreed design
criteria guidelines, map them onto the GIS database map. This mapping effort will also include
loading the identified yard plan as built of files into the database for quick reference These files
will also assist W&K during the design efforts.
Based upon the agreed data fields for each asset class from Task 1.0, Winzler & Kelly will
populate data fields for each feature class As many of these data fields for each asset
classification are specific to District terminology and use, W&K will not attempt to fill every data
field for all feature classes but instead focusing on those that can be captured using the as-buslt's,
specifically size, depth or elevation, material, and the source drawing(s) Should there be
additional information that can be easily obtained from the as-built's beyond this physical data, it
will be recorded to the extent possible Conversely, it is also possible that less data will be
collected on a particular feature depending upon the availability and quality of the as-built
information.
This task would be completed through three subtasks, a 50%, 90%, and 100% Design phase, with
a draft site utility map deliverable for District review during each subtask. A breakdown of the
subtasks is as follows.
• Task 4 1 - 50% Design - GIS map of all relevant surface utilities and assets and 50%
complete mapping of underground utilities and assets with data
fields.
• Task 4.2 - 90% Design - GIS map completed to 90% including data fields with corrected
data incorporated from the 50% review
2
-5-
• Task 4.3 100% Design - GIS map of all underground utilities per the agreed Design
Criteria Guidelines incorporating all information from the
50% and 90% designs
Upon submission of the 50%, 90%, and 100% Designs, a meeting would follow a review period
to identify data problems and inconstancies. Additionally, as the mapping will not involve
verification through potholing; efforts, instead eliciting `institutional knowledge' of utility
locations from District staff that may not reside in the historical drawings. The GIS Database
design will be submitted electronically on CD ROM.
Task 5.0 - Completed WWTP and ERB Site Geodatabase Map
W&K will finish incorporating District feedback from the final 100% review and issue the
comprehensive GIS database map of the WWTP and ERB in electronic format. With the use of
District provided reference files, the completed Geodatabase map will also include appropriate
references to the District's standard symbology for feature classes.
The completed geodatabase maps and associated support files will be in ArcGIS 9.2 GIS
compatible format for use with the District's existing geodatabase. Should the District require it,
Wmzler & Kelly can also provide maps, GIS and/or topographic, in paper format as well, sheet
sizes, scales, and page counts would need to be determined prior to delivery of the hardcopy
maps. Included in the scope are up to 10 copies of Architectural E size bond paper for hard copy
maps
Upon delivery of the completed map files, W&K will work with District staff to implement and
reconfigure the delivered files such that the file and directory structures are consistent with
existing District GIS database files and directories Completion of implementation should allow
the WWTP Geodatabase to easily interface with other geodatabases currently used by the District.
Additionally, the District has also indicated a desire to utilize data fields with pull down menus
for each feature class in the WWTP and ERB Geodatabase. Winzler & Kelly will construct these
pull down menus during this final task prior to final delivery of the Geodatabase map. This
pulldown menu subtask will require District input for the menu selection for each datafield
requiring a pulldown menu. Included in the scope are up to 80% of feature class data field pull
down menus with the remaining data fields being free text that would not need pull downs.

TO: Board of Directors
FROM: John Thiel, Principal Engineer
MEETING DATE: April 16, 2009
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Harvey Channel Culvert Project
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize staff to advertise for bids for purchase of
culvert.
DISCUSSION: This project includes the replacement of an existing 48" CMP culvert
under an access road to Harvey Place Dam. The existing culvert is undersized and has
caused flooding and road damage on numerous occasions during storm events.
In 2008, District engineering staff completed a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for
Harvey Channel, a preliminary culvert design, cost estimate and schedule, all in support
of a FEMA grant application prepared by the District's Grants Coordinator.
On February 2, 2009, the District received notice of an approved FEMA grant in the
amount of $94,176. District engineering staff has subsequently completed a survey and
detailed design for the installation of 12'x6'9"x24' reinforced concrete box culverts. The
culverts will be delivered in 8 pieces to keep weight down and facilitate installation by
District crews this summer.
District engineering staff has also completed the permitting process including a
Categorical Exemption per CEQA, and approvals from the Corps of Engineers, and the
Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board.
SCHEDULE: Advertise for bids in April; Approve bid at May 7th Board meeting.
Receive culverts in June. Complete installation in August 2009.

change orders per our contract. We have 200 hours budgeted for this work with an associated
budget of $32,950. Additionally, the District has asked us to include shop drawing review within
the original budget. As we discussed, when we negotiated the budget, we had assumed that,
since the most technical submittals would be associated with the pre-purchased equipment from
Severn Trent, we expected the District would be reviewing shop drawings from the general
contractor, as has been the case on previous projects. Carollo will utilize the original budget

hours to also review shop drawings and will notify the District if and when hours remaining in the
construction services budget are low.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments regarding this letter and the
associated request for a contract amendment for $9,074.
Sincerely,

ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION
Lisa Coyner reported the proposed amendments
to the Administrative Code will allow both a single
water and sewer connection to common interest
developments, and will clarify that the owner of a
common interest development (or homeowners
association) would be responsible for the distribution
facilities downstream or collection facilities upstream
of the connection to the District's facilities, as applicable.
They would also be responsible for all water and sewer
charges associated with the master connection. This
will increase the efficiency and quality of water service,
and also reduce or eliminate costs to the developer
associated with the installation of separate services to
each unit within a common interest development.
Moved Schafer / Second Jones / Passed Unanimouslv
to enact Ordinance No. 516-09 adding, amending, and
deleting sections of the Administrative Code relating to
mulitiple service, and to also research and include the
term "townhouse" if applicable.
Moved Schafer / Second Jones / Passed Unanimously
to approve payment in the amount of $907,671.88.

REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES - MARCH 19, 2009 PAGE - 3
Water and Wastewater Operations Committee: The
committee met March 16. Minutes of the meeting
are available upon request. The District's help has
been requested to provide services to the Van Sickle
Bi-State Park.
City Issues Ad Hoc Committee: The committee met
with City representatives and recommended moving
forward with a revised City Water MOU to acknowledge
the value of water by trading a percentage of application
fees on District projects that are in the right-of-ways for a
continuation of the same amount of water at no charge.
A connection for a drip irrigation system for the Linear Park
project will be provided at no cost, with the stipulation
that a low water use landscape (native plants only, no turf)
be planted. The City will install the system and pay for the
use of the water.
Georgetown Divide is no longer a part of the El Dorado
County Water Power Authority agreement for excess
water since they cannot use the water; County Auditor
found errors on the tax transfer fund involving several
misallocations; and Cathy Monaghan gave a report on
several events sponsored by the County Water
Agency.
Director Claudio distributed handouts and reported on
his attendance at the California Special Districts
Leadership Academy.
Director Rise discussed his concerns related to the
unfunded mandate to have the entire water system
metered for usage by the year 2025.
Director Schafer reported on his idea to suspend
the Davis Bacon Act to keep prevailing wages
down in order to create more cost efficient projects.
President Mosbacher reported she received a letter of
thanks from Marjorie Springmeyer for sending her
a historical account of the District.
General Manager: Richard Solbrig reported: the Integrated
Regional Water Management Plan group was working on
defining geographic boundaries to avoid overlap and meet
state guidelines; the Tahoe Keys Water Company sent an
information packet that staff will evaluate; and several
personnel issues have risen that require confidentiality.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 6a

FROM: Lisa Coyner, Manager of Customer Service
MEETING DATE: April 16, 2009
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Van Sickle Bi-State Park: Cooperation Agreement with
Douglas County Sewer Improvement District No. 1 (DCSID)
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize execution of agreement to provide sewer
service to Nevada portion of the park, subject to final negotiations by legal counsel, staff
and DCSID.
DISCUSSION: The District has been asked to provide sewer service to the proposed
Van Sickle Park that will straddle the California/Nevada border, including collection of
sewage from the Nevada portion of the Park. The Nevada portion of the park is within
the service territory of Douglas County Sewer Improvement District No. 1 (DCSID). The
District has been asked to provide sewer service to the Nevada portion of the Park as
its sewer main abuts the Park property, while DCSID does not have a sewer main in
close proximity to the Park and extension of the main would require significant
expenditures by the Park.
In order to allow utility service in this manner, the District must enter into an agreement
with DCSID, pursuant to which DCSID consents to the District's provision of service
within DCSID's service territory. Staff requests that the Board approve the execution of
the Cooperation Agreement with DCSID at this time.
The District's Board of Directors also will be required to make a finding that surplus
sewer capacity exists, allowing it to serve the Park area outside its service territory. The
Park will not connect the Nevada portion of the Park to the District's sewer system
during the first phase of its development. In the future, when the Park is ready to
connect the Nevada portion of the Park to the District's sewer system, staff will request
that the Board make the necessary finding of surplus capacity, based on the capacity
information available at that time.

COOPERATION AGREEMENT
This Cooperation Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into on this day of
2009 by and between the South Tahoe Public Utility District ("District") and the
Douglas County Sewer Improvement District No. 1 ("DCSID"), at South Lake Tahoe,
California, with reference to the following facts and intentions:
A. The District is a California Public Utility District, formed pursuant to California
Public Utility District Act (Cal. Pub Util. Code, § 15501, et seq.) and owns and operates a public
sewer system and provides sewer service to residential and commercial customers situated in the
City of South Lake Tahoe ("City") and portions of El Dorado County, California;
B. DCSID, a Nevada Improvement District, provides sewer service to residential and
commercial customers situated in
C. Nevada State Parks and the California Tahoe Conservancy are developing the
Van Sickle Bi-State Park (the "Park"), which they will jointly operate. The Park will straddle the
California/Nevada Border. The District has been asked to provide sewer service to the Park.
While the connection point to the District's system would be located within the District's service
territory, the District would accept sewage generated within the Nevada portion of the Park,
which is within DCSID's service territory. The Park's initial development (Phase I) will not
require the collection of sewage from the Nevada portion of the Park, though it will be required
in subsequent phases of development. Service of the Nevada portion of the Park is contingent up
on the Park's application to the District for such service;
D. The District is best suited to provide sewer service to the Park because its sewer
main abuts the Park property, while DCSID does not have a sewer main in close proximity to the
Park and extension of the main would require significant expenditures by the Park;
E. Pursuant to the Public Utility District Act, if the District's sewer system contains
capacity in excess of that necessary to serve the needs within its boundaries, the District may
employ such surplus capacity to provide sewer service outside its boundaries. (Pub. Util. Code,
§ 16474.)
F. Nevada's Interlocal Cooperation Act provides that public agencies may enter into
cooperative agreements to make the most efficient use of their powers by enabling them to
cooperate with other local governments to provide service in order to best address the needs and
development of local communities. (N.R.S. § 277.090.); and
G. The Parties, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, desire to cooperate to allow
the District's provision of sewer service to the Nevada portion of the Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Provide Service. Pursuant to its powers under the
California Public Utility District Act, if, upon application from the Park for sewer service to the
Nevada portion of the Park, the District's Board of Directors finds sufficient excess sewer
SB 501215 0 007627 1010
-31-
Capacity, the District will accept sewage from the Nevada portion of the Park. The District will
collect and treat the sewage pursuant to California law and its rules and regulations.
2. Consent. Pursuant to its powers under the Nevada Interlocal Cooperation
Act, DCSID consents to the District's collection and treatment of sewage from the Nevada
portion of the Park, which is within DCSID's service territory. .
3. Mutual Indemnification and Protection. Except as otherwise described
herein, each Party (the "Indemnifying Party") covenants and agrees to indemnify and to hold
harmless the other Party and its successors and assigns (the "Indemnified Party") for, from and
against any and all third party claims, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expert witness fees and other litigation-related expenses)
which may be claimed or asserted against the Indemnified Party on account of the exercise by
the Indemnifying Party of the rights granted to it under this Agreement; provided, however, in no
event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible to the Indemnified Party for any claims,
liabilities or expenses that may be claimed or asserted against the Indemnified Party relating to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its employees,
directors, officers, trustors, trustees, agents, affiliates, personal representatives, heirs, legatees,
successors or assigns.
4. General l1rovisions.
(a) Recitals. The recitals stated at the beginning of this Agreement of
any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof and the terms and
conditions of the recitals, if any, shall be deemed a part of this Agreement.

reasonably requested to do so by the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered any and all documents and instruments as may be
necessary, expedient or proper in the reasonable opinion of the requesting party to carry out the
intent and purposes of this Agreement, provided that the requesting party shall bear the cost and
expense of such further instruments or documents (except that each party shall bear its own
attorneys' fees).
(c) Authority. The individuals executing this Agreement represent
and warrant that they have the authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform all acts
required by this Agreement, and that the consent, approval or execution of or by any third party
is not required to legally bind either party to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(d) Construction. The provisions of this Agreement should be
liberally construed to effectuate its purposes. The language of all parts of this Agreement shall
be construed simply according to its plain meaning and shall not be construed for or against
either party, as each party has participated in the drafting of this document and had the
opportunity to have their counsel review it. Whenever the context and construction so requires,
all words used in the singular shall be deemed to be used in the plural, all masculine shall include
the feminine and neuter, and vice versa.

prevailing party shall be entitled to recover actual attorneys' fees which may be determined by
the court in the same action or in a separate action brought for that purpose. The attorneys' fees
to be awarded shall be made to fully reimburse for all attorneys', paralegals' and experts' fees,
costs and expenses actually incurred in good faith, regardless of the size of the judgment, it being
the intention of the parties to fully compensate for all attorneys', paralegal and experts' fees,
costs and expenses paid or incurred in good faith.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the
same instrument.
(i) Entire Agreement and Amendment. This Agreement contains
the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters considered, and
there have been no promises, representations, agreements, warranties or undertakings by any of
the parties, either oral or written, of any character or nature binding except as stated in this
Agreement. This Agreement may be altered, amended or modified only by an instrument in
writing, executed by the parties to this Agreement and by no other means. Each party waives
their future right to claim, contest or assert that this Agreement was modified, canceled,
superseded or changed by any oral agreement, course of conduct, waiver or estoppel.
(i) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other
communications required to or permitted to be given under this Agreement, shall be in writing
and shall be conclusively deemed to have been duly given (1) when hand delivered to the other
party; or (2) when received by facsimile at the address or number below, provided, however, that
notices given by facsimile shall not be effective unless a duplicate copy of such facsimile notice
is promptly given by depositing same in a United States post office with first class postage

ITEM - PROJECT NAME: SB 672 (Cox) Water Meters
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize Board President to sign letter of support of
SB 672 to extend compliance deadline.
DISCUSSION: On the District's behalf, Senator Dave Cox has introduced SB 672,
which proposes to extend the compliance deadlines for AB 2572 which mandated water
meters on all public water systems. Due to Sierra winters and TRPA grading
restrictions, the District can only install meters during the abbreviated building season
and will require addition time to complete that task. In addition, the extension will allow
the District to concentrate its resources to complete water infrastructure improvements
to protect our customers from wildfire prior to full metering compliance.

The Honorable Dave Cox
California State Senate

Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 672 (Cox) South Tahoe Public Utility District - Water Meters
Dear Senator Cox:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District (District),
thank you for introducing SB 672. This letter is to serve as the Board of Director's formal
support of this legislation.
As you know, the District faces the challenges of long Sierra winters as well as the
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's (TRPA) grading restrictions which only allow
construction, that disturbs the soil, to occur from May 1 until October 15 each year. As
such, we cannot install as many meters as can our sister agencies elsewhere in the
state
In addition to this challenge, the District faces a formidable task of replacing thousands
of feet of undersized water infrastructure to provide adequate fire protection capability
amidst the tinder dry forest in which our community lies.
We appreciate your leadership and willingness to help the District obtain some much
needed flexibility in this challenge.
Sincerely,
Mary Lou Mosbacher
President, Board of Directors

SENATE BILL No. 672
Introduced by Senator Cox
February 27, 2009
An act to add Section 527.1 to the Water Code, relating to the South
Tahoe Public Utilities District.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 672, as introduced, Cox. South Lake Tahoe Public Utilities
District: water meters.
Existing law requires an urban water supplier to install water meters
on all municipal and industrial service connections located within its
service area on or before January 1, 2025. Existing law requires an
urban water supplier to charge each customer that has a service
connection for which a meter has been installed based on the actual
volume of deliveries as measured by the water meter beginning on or
before January 1, 2010.
This bill, with regard to the South Tahoe Public Utilities District,
would extend that January 1, 2025, date to January 1, 2035, and that
January 1, 2010, date to January 1, 2020. The bill would set forth related
declarations and findings, including findings and declarations relating
to the need for special legislation.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program. no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
1 SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the
2 following:
3 (a) The South Tahoe Public Utilities District currently has one
4 of the lowest per capita water usages in the State of California.
99
-44-
SB 672
2-
1 (b) The district has taken a number of steps to conserve water
2 in its service area including all of the following:
3 (1) The district has implemented a water conservation rebate
4 program for low-flow toilets, fixtures, dishwashers, tankless water
5 heaters, and front loading washing machines.
6 (2) The district has a full-time water conservation specialist on
7 staff.
8 (3) The district employs three full-time "water educators" during
9 the summer months to educate district water customers and enforce
10 the district's water conservation program.
11 (4) The district has initiated a "turf buy-back" program that has
12 resulted, to date, in the savings of one million gallons of water
13 annually.
14 (c) Conserved water from the district does not flow into the
15 California watershed.
16 (d) Due to grading requirements established by the Tahoe
17 Regional Planning Agency, water meters may only be installed
18 from May 2 to October 14 each year. This construction window
19 is shorter than those in the rest of California and impacts the
20 district's ability to meet the current statutory metering deadline.
21 (e) Meeting the current statutory deadline is cost prohibitive
22 due to a water main improvement project. The water main
23 improvement project is necessary to protect the Tahoe National
24 Forest from fire.
25 (f) Forest fire is a clear and present danger to the Lake Tahoe
26 Basin. The Angora Fire of 2007 damaged property and the
27 environment.
28 (g) Waterline retrofit is essential to forest protection and to
29 protect Lake Tahoe's clarity.
30 (h) The district has identified over 185,000 lineal feet of
31 waterlines that cannot provide sufficient flows for fire suppression.
32 SEC. 2. Section 527.1 is added to the Water Code, to read:
33 527.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the South
34 Tahoe Public Utilities District shall do both of the following:
35 (a) Meet the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of
36 subdivision (a) of Section 527 on or before January 1, 2035.
37 (b) Meet the requirements set forth in subparagraph (A) of
38 paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 527 on or before January
39 1, 2020.
99
-45-
-3- SB 672
1 SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares that this act, which
2 is applicable only to the South Lake Tahoe Public Utilities District,
3 is necessary because of the unique and special water problems in
4 the area included in that district. It is, therefore, hereby declared
5 that a general law within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV
6 of the California Constitution cannot be made applicable to the
7 district and the enactment of this special law is necessary for the
8 conservation, development, control, and use of that water for the
9 public good.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM 6d
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Julie Ryan, Senior Engineer
MEETING DATE: April 16, 2009
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Angora Tank Replacement Project
2:30 P.M. PUBLIC MEETING
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Hold a Public Meeting to receive any comments on
the Initial Study and Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact; (2) Certify the
Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact; and (3) Authorize staff to
advertise for bids for construction of the Sitework portion of the project.
DISCUSSION: Staff has (1) approved the Draft Initial Study / Draft Initial Environmental
Checklist and the determination that with mitigation, there are no significant effects on the
environment, (2) prepared a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration with
submittal to the State Clearinghouse, and (3) published such notice in the Tahoe Tribune.
At this time, after a review period of over 30 days, staff has received the following
comments and questions on the proposed action.
1. Comments from the neighbor at 325 Uplands Way concern the potential hazards to
them and their property during and after construction which may be caused by
earthmoving and permanent operational activities. They recommend that the
access road be rerouted to the south of the existing tank on Forest Service
property, which is not adjacent to their property.
2. Comments from the neighbor at 349 Uplands Way question the preference of the
proposed access route and compare it to a route south of the existing tank, giving
consideration to the environmental impacts described in the document.
3. A comment from the Department of Public Health reminds the District that its water
supply permit will need to be amended because the project will increase water
storage in the system.
4. A comment from the neighbor at 349 Uplands Way recommends that the project
utilize erosion controls on the access road that will inhibit use of the road by
recreationists.
5. A comment from the California Tahoe Conservancy that document does not
address Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions, as required by SB 97.

These written comments have been provided to the Board in advance for their review.
After considering these comments, staff has revised the environmental document and the
project plans as follows.
1. Additional mitigation measures have been included to decrease the potential hazard to
adjacent persons and property. These include:
Requiring the Contractor to install temporary protections along the property
boundary between the STPUD tank site and the adjacent private parcels to
minimize the hazard potential from falling debris during construction;
Extending the proposed site fencing to enclose the entirety of the proposed
improvements on the STPUD tank site, which will minimize public access to the site
and provide additional protection to adjacent parcels from small falling debris;
Identifying and removing or stabilizing any hazardous boulders near the top of the
slope prior to commencing with mass grading activities.
2. The air quality section has been revised to further address GHG Emissions. The project
itself will not result in any new sources of GHGs, however there will be temporary impacts
to air quality and minor releases of GHGs from construction vehicles.
These changes do not materially change the project.
At 2:30 p.m., open a meeting to receive public input on the Draft Initial Study/Draft Initial
Environmental Checklist and Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact for
the STPUD Angora Tank Replacement Project. After receiving public comments and
response to comments by staff, the Board may close the meeting, certify the Mitigated
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact, and approve the project as proposed, with
the additional mitigation measures added. With approval of the document, the appeal
period for the CEQA NOD posting will commence, and will be complete as of
May 16, 2009.
With Board approval, staff will advertise for construction of the sitework portion of the
project. 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 90% 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 April 22, 2009, the schedule for the bid period and construction will be as
follows.

Julie,
Thanks for organizing the site visit today. I think we all have a better
understanding of the layout for the proposed route as well as the alternate southern
route. I still believe the southern route is the better choice and is flatter than the
documents show and would not require the degree of excavation shown. I do
understand and appreciate the efforts you are making to make the northern route
work and be as inconspicuous as possible. I think the USFS over-reacted to the
"harm" a southern route would have caused. My guess is you will find the
contractor(s) driving their equipment around the south side of the existing tank
because it's so easy and direct.
Separately, as you do the final design work for the access road with its erosion
controls and swales, please give consideration to using those erosion controls to
also inhibit use of the road by people looking for places to use their Mountain Boards
and Carveboards. The boards are pretty amazing with their 6" and 8" pneumatic
tires and shock absorbers that are designed to be used on rough terrain. I'm sure
they are a lot of fun to ride, but hopefully not on the tank access road.
Thanks again for all your efforts,
Mike Connolly

Climate Change, the California Environmental Quality Act,
and General Plan Updates:
Straightforward Answers to Some Frequently Asked Questions
California Attorney General's Office
At any given time in this State, well over one hundred California cities and counties are
updating their general plans These are complex, comprehensive, long-term planning
documents that can be years in the making Their preparation requires local
governments to balance diverse and sometimes competing interests and, at the same
time, comply with the Planning and Zoning Law and the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA)
Local governments have decades of experience in applying state planning law and
excellent resources to assist them - such as the "General Plan Guidelines" issued by
The Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). 1 They are also practiced in
assessing whether general plans may have significant localized environmental effects,
such as degradation of air quality, reductions in the water supply, or growth inducing
impacts The impact of climate change, however, has only fairly recently shown up on
the CEQA radar
The fact that climate change presents a new challenge under CEQA has not stopped
local governments from taking action A substantial number of cities and counties
already are addressing climate change in their general plan updates and accompanying
CEQA documents These agencies understand the substantial environmental and
administrative benefits of a programmatic approach to climate change Addressing the
problem at the programmatic level allows local governments to consider the "big picture"
and - provided it's done right - allows for the streamlined review of individual projects 2
Guidance addressing CEQA, climate change, and general planning is emerging, for
example, in the pending CEQA Guideline amendments,3 comments and settlements by
the Attorney General, and in the public discourse, for example, the 2008 series on
CEQA and Global Warming organized by the Local Government Commission and
sponsored by the Attorney General In addition, the Attorney General's staff has met
informally with officials and planners from numerous jurisdictions to discuss CEQA
requirements and to learn from those who are leading the fight against global warming
at the local level
Still, local governments and their planners have questions In this document, we
attempt to answer some of the most frequently asked of those questions We hope this
document will be useful, and we encourage cities and counties to contact us with any
additional questions, concerns, or comments
Climate Change, CEQA & General Plans Page 1
FAQs [Rev 3/06/09]
• Can a lead agency find that a general plan update's climate change-related
impacts are too speculative, and therefore avoid determining whether the
project's impacts are significant?
No. There is nothing speculative about climate change It's well understood that
(1) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increase atmospheric concentrations of
GHGs, (2) increased GHG concentrations in the atmosphere exacerbate global
warming, (3) a project that adds to the atmospheric load of GHGs adds to the
problem.
Making the significance determination plays a critical role in the CEQA process.
Where a project may have a significant effect on the environment, the lead
agency must prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 5 Moreover, a
finding of significance triggers the obligation to consider alternatives and to
impose feasible mitigation 6 For any project under CEQA, including a general
plan update, a lead agency therefore has a fundamental obligation to determine
whether the environmental effects of the project, including the project's
contribution to global warming, are significant
• In determining the significance of a general plan's climate change-related
effects, must a lead agency estimate GHG emissions?
Yes. As OPR's Technical Advisory states
Lead agencies should make a good-faith effort, based on available
information, to calculate, model, or estimate the amount of CO2 and other
GHG emissions from a project, including the emissions associated with
vehicular traffic, energy consumption, water usage and construction
activities
In the context of a general plan update, relevant emissions include those from
government operations, as well as from the local community as a whole
Emissions sources include, for example, transportation, industrial facilities and
equipment, residential and commercial development, agriculture, and land
conversion
There are a number of resources available to assist local agencies in estimating
their current and projected GHG emissions For example, the California Air
Resources Board (ARB) recently issued protocols for estimating emissions from
local government operations, and the agency's protocol for estimating
community-wide emissions is forthcoming 8 OPR's Technical Advisory contains
a list of modeling tools to estimate GHG emissions Other sources of helpful
information include the white paper issued by the California Air Pollution Control
Officers Association (CAPCOA), "CEQA and Climate Change"9 and the Attorney
General's website,10 both of which provide information on currently available
models for calculating emissions In addition, many cities and counties are
working with the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives
(ICLEI)11 and tapping into the expertise of this State's many colleges and
universities 12
Climate Change, CEQA & General Plans Page 2
FAQs [Rev 3/06/09]
• For climate change, what are the relevant "existing environmental
conditions"?
The CEQA Guidelines define a significant effect on the environment as "a
substantial adverse change in the physical conditions which exist in the area
affected by the proposed project." 13
For local or regional air pollutants, existing physical conditions are often
described in terms of air quality (how much pollutant is in the ambient air
averaged over a given period of time), which is fairly directly tied to current
emission levels in the relevant "area affected " The "area affected," in turn, often
is defined by natural features that hold or trap the pollutant until it escapes or
breaks down So, for example, for particulate matter, a lead agency may
describe existing physical conditions by discussing annual average PM10 levels,
and high PM 10 levels averaged over a 24-hour period, detected at various points
in the air basin in the preceding years
With GHGs, we're dealing with a global pollutant. The "area affected" is both the
atmosphere and every place that is affected by climate change, including not just
the area immediately around the project, but the region and the State (and
indeed the planet) The existing "physical conditions" that we care about are the
current atmospheric concentrations of GHGs and the existing climate that reflects
those concentrations
Unlike more localized, ambient air pollutants which dissipate or break down over
a relatively short period of time (hours, days or weeks), GHGs accumulate in the
atmosphere, persisting for decades and in some cases millennia The
overwhelming scientific consensus is that in order to avoid disruptive and
potentially catastrophic climate change, then it's not enough simply to stabilize
our annual GHG emissions. The science tells us that we must immediately and
substantially reduce these emissions
• If a lead agency agrees to comply with AB 32 regulations when they
become operative (in 2012), can the agency determine that the GHG-related
impacts of its general plan will be less than significant?
No. CEQA is not a mechanism merely to ensure compliance with other laws,
and, in addition, it does not allow agencies to defer mitigation to a later date
CEQA requires lead agencies to consider the significant environmental effects of
their actions and to mitigate them today, if feasible
The decisions that we make today do matter. Putting off the problem will only
increase the costs of any solution Moreover, delay may put a solution out of
reach at any price The experts tell us that the later we put off taking real action
to reduce our GHG emissions, the less likely we will be able to stabilize
atmospheric concentrations at a level that will avoid dangerous climate change
Climate Change, CEQA & General Plans Page 3
FAQs [Rev 3/06/09]
• Since climate change is a global phenomenon, how can a lead agency
determine whether the GHG emissions associated with its general plan are
significant?
The question for the lead agency is whether the GHG emissions from the project
- the general plan update - are considerable when viewed in connection with the
GHG emissions from past projects, other current projects, and probable future
projects 14 The effects of GHG emissions from past projects and from current
projects to date are reflected in current atmospheric concentrations of GHGs and
current climate, and the effects of future emissions of GHGs, whether from
current projects or existing projects, can be predicted based on models showing
future atmospheric GHG concentrations under different emissions scenarios, and
different resulting climate effects.
A single local agency can't, of course, solve the climate problem But that
agency can do its fair share, making sure that the GHG emissions from projects
in its jurisdiction and subject to its general plan are on an emissions trajectory
that, if adopted on a larger scale, is consistent with avoiding dangerous climate
change
Governor Schwarzenegger's Executive Order S-3-05, which commits California
to reducing its GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to eighty percent
below 1990 levels by 2050, is grounded in the science that tells us what we must
do to achieve our long-term climate stabilization objective The Global Warming
Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), which codifies the 2020 target and tasks ARB with
developing a plan to achieve this target, is a necessary step toward
stabilization 1,5 Accordingly, the targets set in AB 32 and Executive Order S-3-05
can inform the CEQA analysis .
One reasonable option for the lead agency is to create community-wide GHG
emissions targets for the years governed by the general plan The community-
wide targets should align with an emissions trajectory that reflects aggressive
GHG mitigation in the near term and California's interim (2020) 16 and long-term
(2050) GHG emissions limits set forth in AB 32 and the Executive Order.
To illustrate, we can imagine a hypothetical city that has grown in a manner
roughly proportional to the state and is updating its general plan through 2035
The city had emissions of 1,000,000 million metric tons (MMT) in 1990 and
1,150,000 MMT in 2008 The city could set an emission reduction target for 2014
of 1,075,000 MMT, for 2020 of 1,000,000 MMT, and for 2035 of 600,000 MMT,
with appropriate emission benchmarks in between Under these circumstances,
the city could in its discretion determine that an alternative that achieves these
targets would have less than significant climate change impacts.
• Is a lead agency required to disclose and analyze the full development
allowed under the general plan?
Yes. The lead agency must disclose and analyze the full extent of the
development allowed by the proposed amended general plan, 17 including
associated GHG emissions.
Climate Change, CEQA & General Plans Page 4
FAQs [Rev 3/06/09]
This doesn't mean that the lead agency shouldn't discuss the range of
development that is likely to occur as a practical matter, noting, for example, the
probable effect of market forces But the lead agency can't rely on the fact that
full build out may not occur, or that its timing is uncertain, to avoid its obligation to
disclose the impacts of the development that the general plan would permit Any
other approach would seriously underestimate the potential impact of the general
plan update and is inconsistent with CEQA's purposes
• What types of alternatives should the lead agency consider?
A city or county should, if feasible, evaluate at least one alternative that would
ensure that the community contributes to a lower-carbon future Such an
alternative might include one or more of the following options-
o higher density development that focuses growth within existing urban
areas,
o policies and programs to facilitate and increase biking, walking, and public
transportation and reduce vehicle miles traveled,
o the creation of "complete neighborhoods" where local services, schools,
and parks are within walking distance of residences,
o incentives for mixed-use development,
o in rural communities, creation of regional service centers to reduce vehicle
miles traveled,
energy efficiency and renewable energy financing (see, e.g , AB 811)'$
o policies for preservation of agricultural and forested land serving as
carbon sinks,
o requirements and ordinances that mandate energy and water
conservation and green building practices, and
o requirements for carbon and nitrogen-efficient agricultural practices
Each local government must use its own good judgment to select the suite of
measures that best serves that community
• Can a lead agency rely on policies and measures that simply "encourage"
GHG efficiency and emissions reductions?
No Mitigation measures must be "fully enforceable."19 Adequate mitigation
does not, for example, merely "encourage" or "support" carpools and transit
options, green building practices, and development in urban centers. While a
menu of hortatory GHG policies is positive, it does not count as adequate
mitigation because there is no certainty that the policies will be implemented
There are many concrete mitigation measures appropriate for inclusion in a
general plan and EIR that can be enforced as conditions of approval or through
ordinances Examples are described in a variety of sources, including the
CAPCOA's white paper '20 OPR's Technical Advisory, 21 and the mitigation list on
the Attorney General's website.22 Lead agencies should also consider consulting
with other cities and counties that have recently completed general plan updates
or are working on Climate Action Plans 23
Climate Change, CEQA & General Plans Page 5
FAQs [Rev 3/06/09]
• Is a "Climate Action Plan" reasonable mitigation?
Yes To allow for streamlined review of subsequent individual projects, we
recommend that the Climate Action Plan include the following elements an
emissions inventory (to assist in developing appropriate emission targets and
mitigation measures), emission targets that apply at reasonable intervals through
the life of the plan, enforceable GHG control measures, monitoring and reporting
(to ensure that targets are met), and mechanisms to allow for the revision of the
plan, if necessary, to stay on target .24
If a city or county intends to rely on a Climate Action Plan as a centerpiece of its
mitigation strategy, it should prepare the Climate Action Plan at the same time as
its general plan update and EIR. This is consistent with CEQA's mandate that a
lead agency must conduct environmental review at the earliest stages in the
planning process and that it not defer mitigation In addition, we strongly urge
agencies to incorporate any Climate Action Plans into their general plans to
ensure that their provisions are applied to every relevant project.
• Is a lead agency also required to analyze how future climate change may
affect development under the general plan?
Yes CEQA requires a lead agency to consider the effects of bringing people
and development into an area that may present hazards The CEQA Guidelines
note the very relevant example that "an EIR on a subdivision astride an active
fault line should identify as a significant effect the seismic hazard to future
occupants of the subdivision 2
Lead agencies should disclose any areas governed by the general plan that may
be particularly affected by global warming, e.g . coastal areas that may be
subject to increased erosion, sea level rise, or flooding, areas adjacent to
forested lands that may be at increased risk from wildfire, or communities that
may suffer public health impacts caused or exacerbated by projected extreme
heat events and increased temperatures General plan policies should reflect
these risks and minimize the hazards for current and future development.

DEPARTMENT OF.IUST/CE The California Environmental Quality Act
Addressing Global Warming; Impacts at the Local Agency Level
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), local agencies have a very important role to play in
California's fight against global warming - one of the most serious environmental effects facing the Slate today
Where local agencies undertake projects directly, they can and should design sustainable projects from the start,
incorporating global warning related considerations into their projects at the earliest stages. Further, local
agencies can encourage well-designed, sustainable private projects by analyzing and disclosing to the public the
environmental benefits of such projects in any required environmental documents. And where projects as
proposed will have significant global warming related effects, local agencies can require feasible changes or
alternatives, and Impose enforceable, verifiable, feasible mitigation to substantially lessen those effects. By the
sum of their decisions, local agencies will help to move the State away from "business as usual" and toward a
low-carbon future
This document provides information that may be helpful to local agencies in carrying out their duties under
CEQA as they relate to global warming Included vi this document are various measures that may reduce the
global warming related Impacts of a project. As appropriate, the measures can be included as design features of
a project, required as changes to the project, or imposed as mitigation (whether undertaken directly by the
project proponent or funded by mitigation fees) The measures set forth in this package are examples; the list is
not intended to be exhaustive Moreover, the measures cited may not he appropriate for every project. Tile
decision of whether to approve a project - as proposed or with required changes or mitigation - is for the local
agency, exercising its intormed judgment in compliance with the law and balancing a variety of public
objectives.
The first section of this document lists examples of measures that could be applied to a diverse range of projects
where the lead agency determines that the project under consideration will have significant global warming
related effects. In general, a given measure should not be considered in isolation, but as part Of a larger set of
measures that, working together, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of global warming
The second section of this document lists examples of potential greenhouse gas reduction measures in the
general plan context. This section is included both to suggest how the measures set forth in the first section
could be incorporated into a general plan, as well as to identify measures that are general plan specific. The
measures in the second section may also be appropriate for inclusion in larger scale plans, including regional
plans (c g , blueprint plans) and in specific plans. Including these types of measures at the larger planning level,
as appropriate, will help to ensure more sustainable project-specific development
The third section provides links to Sources of information on global warming impacts and emission reduction
measures "file list is not complete, but may be a helpful start for local agencies seeking more information to
carry out their CEQA obligations as they relate to global warming
The endnotes set forth just some of the many examples of exemplary emission reduction measures already
being Implemented by local governments and agencies, LitIIitIes, private industry, and others As these
examples evidence, California at every level of government is taking up the challenge, devising new and
innovative solutions, and leading the charge in the fight against global warming.

Off-Site Mitigation
11" after analyzing and requiring all reasonable and teasible on-site mitigation measures for avoiding or
reducing greenhouse gas-related impacts, the lead agency determines that additional mitigation is
required, the agency may consider additional off=site mitigation The project proponent could, for
example, fund oft-site mitigation projects (c ,fir., alternative energy projects, or energy or water audits fur
existing projects) that will reduce carbon emissions, conduct an audit of its other existing operations and
agree to retrofit, or purchase carbon "credits" from another entity that will undertake mitigation
The topic ol'off'sets can be complicated, and a full discussion is outside the scope of this summary
document. Issues that the lead agency should consider Include-
Tile location of the off=site mitigation. (lithe off-site mitigation is far from the project, any
additional, non-chnnate related benefits of the mitigation will lie lost to the local community.)
• Whether the emissions reductions from off=site mitigation call be quantified and verified
• Whether the mitigation ratio should be greater than 1.1 to reflect ally uncertainty about the
effectiveness of the offset

• In areas designated for mixed use, adopt incentives for the concurrent development of different
land uses (c g , retail with residential)
• Promote inf ill, mixed use, and higher density development by, for example, reducing developer
fees,"' providing fast-track pennit processing, reducing processing fees; funding infrastructure
loans; and giving preference for i nfrastnucture improvements in these areas
Open Space Element""
• Preserve forested areas, agricultural lands, wildlife habitat and corridors, wetlands, watersheds,
groundwater recharge areas and other open space that provide carbon sequestration benefits
• Establish a mitigation program for development of those types of open space that provide carbon
sequestration benefits. Require like-kind replacement for, or impose mitigation fees on
development of such lands Use funds generated to protect existing, or create replacement, open
space
• Allow alternative energy projects in areas zoned for open space where consistent with other uses
and values.
• Protect existing trees and encourage the planting of new trees Adopt a tree protection and
replacement ordinance, c g , requiring that trees larger than a specified diameter that are removed
to accommodate development must be replaced at a set ratio
• Connect parks and publicly accessible open space through shared pedestrian/bike paths and trails
to encourage walking and bicycling.

1 1 Many commercial, industrial, and campus-type facilities (such as hospitals, universities and prisons) use
fuel to produce steam and heat for their own operations and processes Unless captured, much of this
heat is wasted Combined heat and power (CI-IP) captures waste heat and re-uses it, e g , for residential
or commercial space heating or to generate electricity. See U.S. EPA, Catalog ol'CHP Technologies at
http://www.epa-guv/clip/documents/catalog of_%2Uch tech entire_pdf. The average efficiency of
fossil-fueled power plants in the United States is 33 percent. By using waste heat recovery technology,
CHP systems typically achieve total system efficiencies of 60 to 80 percent CHI' can also substantially
reduce emissions ofcarbon dioxide htt4l.//www epagoy/ch /basic/elficienchtml. Currently, CHP in
California has a capacity ofover 9 million kilowatts See list of California CHP facilities at

consumes about 19 percent of the State's electricity, 30 percent of its natural gas, and 88 billion gallons
of diesel fuel every year. See

37 The City of Berkeley is in the process of instituting a "Sustainable Energy Financing District."
According to the City, "The financing mechanism is loosely based on existing 'underground utility
districts' where the City serves as the financing agent for a neighborhood when they move utility poles
and wires underground In this case, individual property owners would contract directly with qualified
private solar installers and contractors for energy efficiency and solar projects on their building The
City provides tine finding for the project from a bond or loan fund that ►t repays through assessments on
participating property owners" tax bills for 20 years See

The California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research Program estimates that the
technical potential for rooftop applications ol'photovoltaic systems to the State ►s about 40 g►gawatts in
2006, rising to 68 gigawatts in 2016 See Public Interest Energy Research Program, California Rooftop

38 As described in its Climate Action Plan, the City of San Francisco uses a combination of incentives and
technical assistance to reduce lighting energy use in small businesses such as grocery stores, small retail
Outlets, and restaurants The program offers free energy audits and coordinated lighting retrofit
installation In addition, the City offers residents the opportunity to turn in their incandescent lamps for
coupons to buy fluorescent units See San Francisco's Climate Action Plan, available at

39 Among other strategies for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, YOIo County ►s considering a
purchasing policy that mandates all purchases Of electrical equipment meet or exceed the PG&E Energy
Star rating This would require departments to purchase unproved efficiency refrigerators, microwaves
and related appliances that have greater power efficiencies and less GFIG impacts See

51 For example, San Diego's Metropolitan Wastewater Department (SDMWD) installed eight digesters at
one of its wastewater treatment plants Digesters use heat and bacteria to break down the organic solids
removed from the wastewater to create methane, which can be captured and used for energy Tine
methane generated by SDMWD's digesters runs two engines that supply enough energy for all ol'the
plant's needs, and the plant sells the extra energy to the local grid. See
ham.//www.sandic ,o. ,ov/mwNvd/facilities/ _tloma_slitml In addition, the Callf'ornia Air Resources
Board approved the Landfill Methane Capture Strategy as in early action measure
