LETTER TO WATER POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD: (December 27, 1962)
"Please refer to report from this District, dated December28, 1961, wherein a oroeram was
outlined to you that would have effectivelv reduced the sewage problems existinK here, The
orogram was turned down by a large majority of voters within the District, May 1st, 1962,
for $2,510,000 bond issue. A lesser program was nresented to the electorates July 31, ].967,
for a $920,000 bond issue and was defeated. Seotember 18, 1962, a similar nrogram and bond
issue for $920,000 was again defeated.
"During this time, everything possible was being done to forestall an overflow from an over-
burdened disposal facility. Relief came when a 170 acre tract of land was rented near
disposal area until October 15, 1962 for effluent disoosa!.
"Every Congressman, Senator, Governor, and U.S.Forest agent reoresentlnK th~ States of
California and Nevada were contacted for their help and/or influence in gett~ne federal lands
for effluent disposal. September 24, 1962, an offer was made to the Distr~ct bv the. W.S.
Forestry (enclosure). The land committee of the District Board is oresent]v studvln~
the nroposal and will make its recommendation if and when same means of finarc~ne the force-
main and spray facilities can be worked out.
"The one favorable situation at this time, in relation to the same time last year, is that the
holding pond has aooroximatelv 11 ft. 6 in. of free-board. Weather conditions
cooperation from the Nevada District have been a great asset in this re~ard.
"At this time, we cannot make a prediction or set forth any nro~ram relative to eff!uept
disoosal other than that which is presently bein~ utilized."
REOUEST TO DEPORT EFFLUENT (JAN. ?, 1963) (?~r's Rot. Cont.)
"California-Uevada Interstate Compact Commission, Sacramento, Califnrmia.
"The South Tahoe Public Utility District does hereby make aool]cation to your body for
permission to export highly treated sewage effluent out of the Lake Tahoe Bas{ri.
"Since its inception, this District has worked dilieentlv toward a final so]ut~op to
its disoosal problems. The oresent means of disposal is definltelv a temporary measure amd
is getting closer to a major problem with each added connection.
REGULAR
REQUEST TO DEPORT EFFLUENT (cont.) (~grs. Rpt. Cont.)_
"The District's consulting engineers are continuin? their efforts toward other ~css[ble
means of treatment and dlsmosal. This will take ~recious time to effect and could very
well not be acceptable as a solution to the entire basin. We therefore impress on your body
the need for a clear and concise answer to the California-Nevada Interstate Compact
Commission, Sacramento, California.

animous decision has not been reached.

MA~ACER'S REPORT: General Yanaeer read his report which is as follows:
"YanaKer's Re9ort
February 7,1963
PLAI[T OPEPATIOU:
The recent storms created considerable ~rob]ems and damaee to the fol].ow~n~ facilities:
The berm around the ballast ~ond washed out in five ~!aces.
Area around Snarlln~ meter washed away.
Prlmarv sedimentation tank collect[pR mechanism ~ammdd due to excessive debris
broke shear ~ins too fast to re,!ace. The tank is heine drained to locate trouble."
(General ~anaeer Pridav stated this has been taken care of and back Sm service,) "~!eter
transmitter blew out mercury seal on narshall flume ~l, ~robablv due to beavv surges of
water and influent. This meant considerable time s~ent transferr~ne read[nOs from
flume to #2 transmitter.
Both sludge drvine beds had washed out harms.
Ail numo stations oneratln~ well under the impact of infiltration (whlc~ was fn excess
of 5 m.g.d, over normal) cominff into Treatment Plant.
HOLDIN~ PO~ID AND SPRAY DISPOSAL: Considerable erosion has taken ~lace on berm,
Eight (80) feet of interceptor ~itch filled with soil and debrfs; also, one s~ot washed out.
A total of 20 control irri~atlon ditches at three different levels on h~l] hav~ to be re-
paired due to washes.
Flow back line from interceptor ditch to oond has to be repaired.
Johnson road, north and south of ~lant, damaeed and made unsafe for travel and so
indicated by barricades ~laced by District ~ersonnet." (General ~ana~er Prldav stated
that this has been taken care of.)
"Manhole No. 1-]2 on the Beach Trunk Line at Lakevlew and North Poads was almost
washed out. This could have been a ma~or ~roblem resultin~ in serious consesuences.
Many manholes were under water, includin~ those access holes to the u~dercround
pumping stations.
Director Stewart and I made a rather extensive survey durin? the stor~ and it was our
opinion that the infiltr~tlon could not have come solely from manholes. Other factors, such
as floor drains, Goon ends of sewer connections (after trailers and bul].d~.nes had been
moved) and the nrobabilltv of someone removine manhole covers to relieve water ccnd[tlons
were heavv contributors.
Due to the extensive workload out on the Treatment Plant bv storm water intrus~om, ~t mi?bt
well be a consideration br the Board (as expressed bv Director Stewart) to ~ost a ~
reward for any ~erson having information that would lead to the arrest and copvlct~on of
anvone using the sewage collectJon system as a ~round water drainage s~stem."
Director Fesler moved, seconded bv Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that the ~ZanaFer's
Re~ort be acce~ted.
]~.~SURANCE (MR. C. GIBSON): Mr. C. Gibson of C. M. Gibson & Associates brlef]v stated
the coverage the District has rezardin~ insurance, tie also stated that the ]arffest

TO: DIRECTORS O? THE SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC [!TILITY DIST=ICT
"Dear Sirs:
I wish you would give careful consideration before enterin~ into a new contract
for sewerage disnosal for Nevada. I'm ou[te sure that such a contract to handle al!
the sewerage would lead to very serious trouble in the near future for the
CalJfornla residents.
I think Nevada should solve their own nrob!ems by nutting in their own dlsnomal
nlant.
I would appreciate vour comments on this.
Sincerely yours,
s/ Ervln C. Perry, ~errv's ~ote!"
Central ;{ana~er Pridav will acknowledge rece~mt of Hr. E.G. Perr~,,'s letter.
General }~ana~er Pridav stated that ~eo~le sheu!d realize that Nevada nays
of every dollar that the District is being taxed for. Should Nevada decided to humid
facilities of their own, this District would have to absorb the ~0% er an
25 to 30 cents on their tax rate.
PAYHENT OF CLAIHS: Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously
carried that the checks and warrants in the amount of $10,386.92 be annroved for
navment: CHECKS:= $10,386.92
WARRANTS:= $50,000.00 (transfer of fund~ only)
Hr. R. Andersen asked General ?ana~er Pridav if the insnectors are renuired to check
all sentic tanks to see if they have been numbed and filled. Hr. }r!dav ~tated that
the District res~onsibi!itv is malnlv to check the connection to the sewer ].in~s;

MANAGER'S REPORT: Oeneral Hanager Oriday read bis renort which is as follows:
"t~AIAGER'S PEPORT
FEBRUARY 21, 1963
"PLANT OPERATION: Almost immediately after the storm subsided, the flow throueh the treat=
ment nlant went back to normal. This tends to 4ustifv our theory that the infiltration
is from surface run-off and not through the sub-surface collection s-stem. We are contlnuip~
our efforts to shut out surface infiltration by closer insoection on onen end lines, drains,
and coverin~ additional manholes sub~ect to water run-off.
We lost about three feet of freeboard in the holdin? nond due to excessive run-off. If
favorable weather holds for the next two weeks, we can draw the nond donna aea~n. The oond
now has 9'-5-1/2" of freeboard.
CENEPAI. INFOPP~ATION: The office has had a number of neon]e object to extra insn~ction fees.
These extra insnections are due to imorooer and imcomnlete installations. If the {nsta]l=r
calls for an insnection with the intent of Rettin? bv with somethln?, or when the hook-un
is not comolete, it necessitates an extra insnection and thus the additional cbaree.
contractor knows this and the oeonle hiring the work done should not make final navment
until any question of extra charges is cleared. It should not be the resnonslbi!~tv of
prcnertv owner to Day for extra inspections due to mistakes made by contractors.
A soecial meeting was called bv the California Water Comnact Commission yesterday,Wednesday,
February 20, 1963, to discuss with the South Tahoe Public Utilltv District certain aspects
relating to exportation of reclaimed water. It is ~uite aooarent that co~slderabte
confusion arose when the two commissions tried to answer a recent request from this Distr~ct
and the Nevada District to export effluent out of the Lake Tahoe Basin. As t~e Comnact
now stands, it nrohibits any sewage effluent from ?oin~ into Lake Tahoe or its tributaries
and, in turn, it makes it nracticall¥ imoossible to exoort same from the Basin. It is our
contention that the comoact should be flexible enou?h to make allowances for cban~ne
conditions and treatment methods during the years to come. After more than two hours of
discussion, it was aRreed by the California Comnact Commission to bold in abeyance any
action on our request until a study was made of the basin Surve~ Penort now heine made b,,
the Lake Tahoe Area Council."
Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that the ,ana?er's
Reoort be aporoved as read.
ADVANCE BILLINg: A brief discussion was held re~ardinf advance bi]!in~ and President
stated that this will be on the Agenda for the first meetin? in Varch.

a letter to the Board of Directors reeue2tine connection of b~s restaurant only. ~ceord[n~
the the Ordinance, Mr. Walter Nixdorf was told that all buildings on one lot must he

Ceneral YanaKer Pridav read a letter from the District Inspector fn w~ch the Insnectcr
mentioned that a seotic tank on the mrom~rtv (Yr. Walter Nixdorf'~) ]DCa+ed i~' +x~ r~ar of
the Oastaldi Real Estate Office, was caved in and omen thereby ~resentln~ a health ~rok~]em

letter also mentioned that no protection of any kind has been ~rovlded r~ t~`~ sent{c +enk.
The insnector recommended that all of tb~ nrooertv he connected at th~ name time.
Director Fesler stated that we have a mo!icy to cover this situation and "r. !'ixdcrf made
this apmlication before our rule and moved that we allow ~r. Nixdorf the relief t~,=.t he
asks and the other mrooertv be connected within a year. No second - motion ]DSt.

a re~ort cf his f[~d;~.,~,,,.:, reeerdinr ccm~ect[o~ of the rostaurant or,
not connect all the mrcmertv. -- ]!at carried.
Director resler moved that a ~ermit be issued temmorarilv for the rasteuravt a~d ell
other ~ronertv to be connected as of the dates we wilt nut on t~c m~rmit.
Director Wakeman amended the motion of Director Fesler to read that this nerm{t be ~ssued to
connect the restaurant and the motel unless the ~'ana?er's ReDort mroves that both cannot be
connected at this time and if it is imnossible to mane both connections, then ~r. Nixdorf
should be granted a nartlal hermit for his restaurant. Director Kortes seconded and the
vote was three (3) aves and one (1) no. Carried.
Yr. Ralnh Andersen stated to the Board that Yr. Nixdorf is trvir~ to do right but be-
cause the ~otel business is not what it used to be - and finaneia!]v he cannot connect
all at one time, as well as other reasons, and felt that some consideration should be
given to Ur. Nixdorf re~ardin? his recuest.
HARPER AUD BAYTEP LAW SUIT: Attorney J. We[dream briefly exmla~ned to the ~rectors

As you ~now, the matter was d~scuss~d
some length, with our demartment reasoning that
trams were unnecessary ~n the smaller establishments ~ue
to lack of maintenance and in some cases creetip~ er~ater
sanitary ~roblems than any they mieht alleviate. In
addition, their installation also eliminates the moss[btlltv
of Karba~e disposals in most ~nstances. The results of tb{s
reeuirement bv the So~th Tahoe Pt~bl~c Utility Distrlcm has
therefore aided in the creation of some {haan[tory

Chlorine use showed an extra heavv use due to heavy flows and the bv-massine of the

remairs are being made to this unit due to immro~er installation. Two lubrication aoints
had been omitted and ~lu~ged off causing the remlacement of the smur ~ear hushlme and

"The planning committee met on Feb 25, 1963, and again on March 6, 1~6.3. Both of these
meetings involved further study of the three general problem areas presentl? under considera-
tion by the District, namely financing of additional facilities, advisability of construction
of tertiary treatment facilities, and a prooosed second amendment to the agreement for ~oint
disposal of sanitary sewage.
A decision was reached by the planning committee relative to financing and this decision was
expressed by a motion made by Director Stewart and seconded by Manager Priday as follows:
"The planning committee recommends to the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe
Public Utility District that immediate action be taken to make application for a
Public Law 660 Grant." The motion was passed unanimously.
The South Tahoe Public Utility District presently has a high priority based on financial
need and pollution points such that favOrable action on our application is more than
possible. The application tentatively is based on $900,000 Construction costs and a total
pro~ect cost of $1,11B,500. of which ~0% or $3~4,050. may be available in 660 law funds. It
is to be emphasized that application for a Public Law 660 Grant must be oostmarked no later
than March 80, 1968 and this is the reason that immediate board action is necessary. B?
making this application the district is not bound to proceed with the proposed construction
or spend any particular amount of money. The application must be made now if it is going
to be made at all this year, and once made and approved the financing for whatever future
pro~ects are decided upon by the board will be materially resolved.

OF THE
SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
March 21, 1963
The Board of Directors met in regular session March 21, 1963, 8:00 P.M. at the Tahoe
Valley Fire House.
ROLL CALL: Present were President Clarke, Directors Wakeman, Kortes, Fesler and Stewart.
Also present were General Manager Priday, Clerk of Board Mallery, Attorney J. Weidman,
Attorney J. Holtom, Engineer Harlan Moy~r, Mr, J. Taylor, Mr. W.C.Taylor, Ralph Andersen,
Walt Little, John Murphy, E.C. Perry, K.H. Roberts, J.J. Gerken.
MINUTES: Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Fesler, unanimously carried, that
the minutes of March 7, 1963, be approved as written.
MANAGER's REPORT:
PLANT OPERATIONS:
General Manager Priday read the following report:
"Manager's Report
~,, _Mar~h ~,1963 _
Holding pond freeboard - 9 feet 7 inches
Total flow to this date for March - 20,727,000 gallons
Average daily flow - 1,036,350 gallons
The secondary sludge collector is still out of operation awaiting parts.
The No. 2 blower is inoperative waiting for shaft alignment and fan balancing by manufacturer.
GENERAL ITEMS~. Mr. Mallery, Office Manager and Clerk of Board, called a meeting of our
district auditors and the Nevada district auditor to study and clarify certain charges
being billed to the Nevada district. The points in question appear to have been
rssolved byvthose present at the meeting. A report will be forthcoming to the directors
so they can take action on policy matters that will influence the final billing to be
made.
t would like to point out to those people who might be inclined to jump at
conclusions that the aforementioned meeting was to clarify existing chmrges under the
existing contract.
There appears to be an upward trend in business possibilities in South Tahoe as
indicated by the number of inquiries we have had from interested developers as to the
capabilities of this district to handle their proposed sewage needs. In all cases, they
have been advised that the district is in a position to service their requirements. Un-
fortunately in some instances, the inquiry had to do with lands excluded from the district
and this fact might very well deter development. An interested financier does not want to
become entangled with a lot of conditions against a property. ~ They want a package all tied
up neatly. This phase of the district problems will be resolved very shortly when the
latest annexation of excluded parcels is completed. I believe it is most beneficial
to the economy of this area to pursue our opportunity:es* with this positive approach,
*WEBSTER(opportunity - a favorable juncture of c~rcumstances)"

Mr. E.C.Perry asked the Directors if some arrangement has been reached regarding the
contract this District has with the Nevada district. President Clarke stated that the two
District's are in the process of discussion and nothing definite has been decided at this
time. Mr. Clarke further stated that this contract is discussed many times with the Nevada
district.
Mr. E.C. Perry also stated that the California side is going through and will continue to go
through a surplus of rentals, etc., and Nevada will gain all by their building and renting
for lower rents~ etc.
Director Wakeman stated that he is not in agreement with Mr. E.C.Perry and that he expects to
see a 'boom' here at the Lake (South Shore of Lake Tahoe - California) and that in his
private business he has had may srequests for cost estimates on motel units and/or apartment
units.
President Clarke stated that we do have a contract with the Douglas County Sewer Improvement
District No. 1, and they are allowed to so much flow and for every gallon over the flow that
is agreed to in the contract - Nevada does pay for.
Regarding the building which Mr. Del Webb will construct and the one which Harrah's will
possibly construct, President Clarke stated that this District will meet the problem when
_ it arrives.
Director Stewart stated that this District takes care of SANITARY CONDITIONS in this
and the Directors are not in a position to take care of or to control the building which is
going on or the surplus rentals that might be at the South Shore of Lake Tahoe. This will
be handled through the Planning Commission or the State Legislature.
This district has a contract with Nevada that allows them so much flow and they pay for
any flow over which the contract states.
Discussion was held with Mr. E.C. Perry and the Directors in which Mr. Perry stated that the
contract will become void when amended. It was mentioned to Mr. Perry that the contract does
not become void when amended.

of $8.87 be sold to Mr. W.D.Isom for the same price as the District has no further use for
this stand since the meetings are now held at the Tahoe Valley Fire House. Director Kortes
moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried that the mike stand be sold to Mr.
W.D.Isom in the amount of $8,87.
PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: General Manager Priday recommended that the claims in the amount of

PERSONNEL: Mr. Lee Miller, Inspector and Maintenance Foreman for the District since

capacity for six and one-half years. I would like to ~ubticlv thank Lee for h~s untiring
efforts during the trials and tribulations of this District."(Letter to be written to Mr.
A.L. Miller).
"Mr. George Hart, a maintenance man with the District since June 16, 1960, has been
promoted to maintenance foreman and is well ~ualified for the position.
GENERAL: Recently, action was taken bv the Board of Directors of this District to a~lv for
a grant of funds from the Federal Government to construct certain facilities to alleviate
the ever present ~roblem of effluent disposal.
April 4th last, the Directors, Manager and Engineer were called to Sacramento to discuss the
request with the State Water Pollution Control Board and the U.S.Public Health Service. Mr.
Paul Bonderson, Executive Officer, of the State Water Pollution Control Board, conducted the
meeting. He questioned the advisability of our including the Tertiary Treatment program in
the application for funds. His preference appeared to be that a separate application should
be made covering this phase only. He reasoned that the process needed further study and it
might not be compatible with any solution the Lake Tahoe Area Council study would recommend.
The South Tahoe Public Utility District countered with the fol6owing reasons for including
the Tertiary Treatment in the program and request. The process is the lease expensive and
best proven means of treating the effluent to a point of purity where the lands now available
to the District for disposal could accept greater quantities of water than that method now
being used. The big problem existing today is the inability of the land, now being sprayed
upon, to accept any great quantity of water due to the suspended solids in the effluemt. The
Water Pollution Control Board issued a 'Cease and Desist' order because the effluent ran off
the spray area into an adjoining stream. As far as the Area Council studies are concerned,
full consideration will bg given to whatever solution may be suggested; however, considerable
time will elapse before any suggested solution becomes law bv both States involved.
The solution might very well be the right one on paper, but in order to actuate it -monev
will be the factor, and the ability of the taxpavers to support it. In the interim, sewage
still has ~o be collected, treated and disposed of and the Directors of this District are
doing everything within their power to fullfil that responsibility.
Mr. Earl Thouren from the U.S.Public Health Service flatly said thev would not certify any
grant of funds for any portion of the project that would be constructed on Forest Lands
under the proposed land use agreement. He said the term of the use ~ermit is too short and
we must get the Forest Service to agree to a renewable lease for the 'expected life of the
project'. This particular question has already been fought out and we can only get a five-
vear permit. Mr. Thouren has been asked if he would check with the U.S. Forest Service,
who are in the same Federal Building, and come to some determination. Here again the Utility
District is fighting an uphill battle - sandwiched between two Federal Agencies. We again
might have to ask Congressman "Bizz" Johnson to intercede in our behalf. We hope that the
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
-2- APRIL 1!, 1963
MANAGER' S REPORT (CON.T_.)
two agencies can see the fact that if the U.S. Public Health Service grants any funds the
District will pay it back in rent to the U.S.Forest Service.
This certainly is not the full text of the meeting but only the principle noints of
disucssion. Many important decisions for the growth of this area hang in the balance and
can only be determined after some of these Herculean opportunities are overcome.
I would like to thank Mr. Harlan Moyer, engineer for the District, for hisssincere
efforts and fine dissertations in behalf of the District during the Sacramento meeting."
Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Fesler, unanimously carried, that the
Manager's Report be approved.
CO?RES~ONDEN~E: Clerk of Board Mallery read the following letter from the Santa
Barbara Chamber of Commerce:
--7'
Gentlemen:
The California Water Pollution Control Association
invites your attendance to the 35th Annual Conference
to be held at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Barbara on
April 24-27, 1963.
This Association has been in existence 6or 35 years, having
been formed for the purpose of improving the oerformance
of those who are responsible for the operation of sewers
and the operation of sewage and waste treatment olant.
We are enclosing a cody of the outline of the Technical
pmogram and ask that you particularly note the Short
School on Wednesday April 24 for Sewer Maintenance
personnel and Treatment Plant Operators. These will be
conducted by experts in their field.
The General Conference which follows will cover a wide
range of subjects by speakers who have had many years
of experience in Water Pollution Control.
It is not necessary to hold membership in the Association
in order to attend and benefit from the Conference. You
are therefore cordially invited to send one or more
representatives to the meeting.
s/ Fred G. Nelson, Publicity Chairman"
General Manager Priday stated that Mr. W. C. Taylor will attend this conference, and
if any of the Directors are interested to please notify him as he does not feel he can
attend the conference.
PLANNING COMMITTEE: Director Fesler, Chairman of the Planning Committee, stated that the
co'm~i'~e' ~e't o~ March 25, 1963, and discussed the Special Use Permit. This permit is not
completed and Director Fesler mentioned that originally this permit was based on 200 acres
of land, (some of the land could not be used) and it is now based on 180 acres of land
less a buffer strip of 35.4 acres or a total of 144.55 acres for which we will be
charged. The original rent on this property was $12,000.00 and it is now $8,673.00.
The effective date of this rent for the 144.55 useable acres will be July 1, 1963.
Director Fesler further stated that approvals are needed from the Lahontan Regional Water
Pollution Control Board and E1 Dorado County Health Department, U.S.Public Health
Service and the State Department of Water Resources, before this permit is completed.
Director Fesler also stated that the Planning Committee has been very active with the
Nevada Amendments and stated that both the Douglas County Improvement District Board
and the South Tahoe Public Utility District Board have reviewed an agreement drafted
originally by the South Tahoe Public Utility District and re,rafted bv the Nevada District.
In order to expedite the final drafting of this agreement, Director Fesler moved that the
Attorneys and Engineers and the General Manager for the respective Districts compose the
final draft, as a Committee, and present same to the two Boards for review and final
action. Director Kortes seconded and the vote carried unanimously.
EASEMENT COMMITTEE (Director Stewart) The following is the reoort as read by the
'C~airman"~'f' th~ 'Lan~d Committee and/or Easement Committee, - Director Stewart:
"The easement committee met on March 27, 1963.
ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING
-3- APRIL 11, 1963
EASEMENT COMMI?T.E~E. P!E..p.0.RT (~con$. )~_
Those present were Director Fesler, Manager W. F. Pridav, Attorney Weidman, and T.L. Stewart
as Chairman.
This being the first meeting of the present easement committee, and due to the lack of
knowledge of this subject matter on the part of Director Fesler and myself, the first
course of action was a complete briefing given to us by the other two members of this
committee. I
It was first determined that past easement matters were handled by Attorney Hughes and Mr. H.
Reeves, a Right=of-Way Agent, employed by this District, and after the employment of thes~
representatives expired, all easements matters and problems were delegated to our Attorney
by board action, which brings us up to the present time.
It was also concluded that over the past years the District has obtained some 200 easements,
of which some twenty are still pending settlement. Approximately one-half are collection
lines and the other one-half are force mains.
We also found that there are monies being held in Trust by the Superior Court of this
County, which were intended for use to settle pending easement claims, which were oosted
for this District by Attorney Hughes in the event these claims had to be settled in court.
Exactly how much money is being held in Trust is being determined and will be reoorted
later. At this time, we know it is not a great amount, for only a minimum sum was
required, but could be released by the court to settle pending claims out of court.
It was further determined that a few of the pending easement claims are with individuals
residing here at the Lake year around or part time and constitutes many of our larger
easement cases still pending.
From this information, we have compiled two recommendations, which we would like to present
to this board.
(1) Since the chore of settling all easement matters was delegated solely to our
Attorney by past board action, we would like your approval, so as to allow us to openly
assist Attorney Weidman on a local level. By this we mean to contact those individuals
with claims still pending residing locally, and try to reach a settlement. If this is not
possible, then to place this matter in the hands of the court, because several of these
cases have been pending for too long a time and it appears to have everyone confused,
which has lead to negative public relations."
Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that Director
Stewa~t's recommendation (#1) be approved.
" (2) That we make use of the money that is being held in trust by the Suo~rior Court
for each one of the pending easement claims if we are able to settle these claims out of
court. It is our understanding that this money can be used for this purpose. We further
understand all settlements must be approved by this board."
Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that Director
Stewart's recommendation (#2) be approved.
Director Stewart stated "I would like to add a personal remark. I believe our Attorney and
Management have done a pretty good job, considering they have had to shoulder this chore
darn near single handed."
TUNZ.IxCAPUT0 ~SEMEN~: Attorney Weidman requested approval of claim for $1,500.00 to
settle the easement for Tunzi-Caputo. Attorney Weidman stated that the District does have
the grant of easement and there is one exception included in this, which is as follows:
"THE EASEMENT IS NOT TO BE USED FOR AN ADDITIONAL PIPE LINE OR FORCE MAIN."
Director Wakeman moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that this easement-
claimm in the amonnt of $1,500.00 for Tunzi-Caputo be approved for payment providing the
Title Company guarantees this grant is an insurable one.
Following discussion regarding the 660 Application, General Manager Priday recommended the
claims in the amount of $6,211.63 be approved for payment.
Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously carried, that the checks
in the amount of $6,211.63 be approved for payment as recommended bv the General Manager.

of a week ago. I would like to commend the men "on the hill" for the fine job they
are doing for the District in keeping the pond down this entire year.
GENERAL: As reported last week, Mr. Earl Thouren - Chief of Construction Grants for the
U. S. Public Health Service - was asked to talk with the U. S. Forest Service about
Government policies concerning terms on Land Use Permits. I talked with Mr. Thouren
Wednesday A.M. last, and he assured me he would make every effort to establish a mutual
understanding between the two agencies. I also took the opportunity to discuss the
tertiary treatment question he had as to its evaluation by their Advanced Waste
Treatment Research Branch in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was brought to his attention that the
Pit con Pilot Plant was in operation when two gentlemen, Dr. Stepha~ and ~r. Masse,
from the Research Branch visited here April 25, 1962. It was brought to his attention
that the process was not unfamiliar to them as Dr. Stephan and Mr. Masse had spent some
time with Mr. Moyer going over the entire process. Mr. Thouren indicated this in-
formation would be most helpful in the evaluation of the Tertiary Treatment request.
We have been in contact with Mr. Manoukian, Attornev for Nevada District, in regard to
the final draft of an amended agreement. A meeting of the committee will be set for
next week.
Mr. Bliss was notified Wednesday last that a sewer line on Saddle Road of his sub-

Dear Lee:
It is with sincere regrets that the South Tahoe Public Utility District accents
your resignation.
Your faithful performance of duties during the six and one half years you
served the district has been outstanding.

MANAGER'S REPORT CONT.
631 "J" Street
Sacramento 14, California
Gentlemen:
The South Tahoe Public Utility District is formulating an agreement with the United States
Forest Service to rent certain lands for effluent spray disposal. As a condition of this
Land Use Permit, it is necessary for this district to get your approval for this use inso-
far as the effect of health and sanitation of the general area is concerned. This land is
in addition to that which this district is now using under p~rmit for spray disposal of
effluent.
The enclosed map will serve to identify the land in question.
Your early response will expedite our plans and arrangements for the subject Land Use Permit.
Very truly yours,
SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
s/ W. F. PRIDAY
General Manager
cc: Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board
E1 Dorado County Department of Health'
These letters are necessary in order to comply with condition #16 of the permit, to wit:
"16. Applicant shall furnish d6Cu~entaryevidence~'tha~ its pr6p6~al~ihJs'
approval of the following agencies insofar as the effect of health and sanitation of the
general area is concerned:
a. Lahontan Regional Water Pollution Control Board
b. E1 Dorado County Department of Health
c. Calioz~nia State Department of Health"
I cannot see any reason for such delays on the part of agencies who on one hand insist on the
district getting moee adequate lands for spray disposal and in turn appearing reluctant to do
their part in helping us fulfill their own requirements.
BEPTIC TANKS: A more restrictive proceedure has been put into effect regarding septic tank re-
moval. No sewer connection will be passed by the District until the septic tank, on the
property having such connection is properly emptied of sewage, filled with sand, limed or any
other means found necessary by the inspector to completely obliterate the septic tank. Any
final line inspection will include the tank inspection and no releases will be given unless
both items are approved.
EXTRA INSPECTION FEES: The Manager's Report of February 21 last brought out the reasons for
extra inspection fees and that the property owner should not be penalized by a Contractors
poor workmanship.
We are instigating a new proceedure wherein the Contractor will be personally liable for
extra inspections. If a Contractor or p~rson making an installation requires extra
inspections, he will have to prepay the fee before the inspection is made. Release of the
installation will not be made until all inspection fees are paid.
If there appears to be any differences of opinions about this proceedure we can go back to our
original requirement and get up to $100.00 deposit on the permit and then refund the
difference when the work is complete.
The property owner is the person we intend to protect, to the best of our ability, from poor
workmanship and extra financial burdens."
General Manager Priday stated that the Agencies mentioned they needed more time to study the
district's request, and that he was also told that the one rgquiremsnt or restriction that
would be placed on this would be that a fence must surround the area.
Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that the Manager's
Report be accepted.
PARKING: President Clarke again reminded all present to please park on the side facing the
Fire House.

375,183 gallons per day
NOTE: The high flow from Nevada was brought about by seven days average of 781,700
g.~'.d, from May 20 through 26th of May. The Casinos had tmouble with sand in their
water systems that held the automatic valves open thereby allowing excessive flows through
the sewer system. Repairs have been made and the flow is back to normal.
POND FREEBOARD: - q feet 9 inches, the gain in the pond was due to the shut down of
the spray disposal system from May 8 to May 22. During this time interceptor ditches
have been repaired and extended. Check dams have been built in the drainage area
above Montgomery Estate Property. Some spray lines have been relocated as further
protection to adjacent properties.
The clarifier is back in service as of May 23 which brings the secondary treatment into
operation. Samples taken for laboratory tests are showing 93.2% removal of impurities
from the influent.
I talked with Mr. Paul Bonderson about the meeting in Sacramento in which our 660 Fund
Application would possibly be discussed. I asked him if we should be represented at
that meeting. Mr. Bonderson advised me that it would not be necessary as it would be
only routine as to setting priority, we have that by the action of the Regional Board..

area:

property owner by b~inging public sewers to the property. The property owners are buying
the right of service in the area.
Mr. Leonardo stated that he was protesting the amount of $998.64 and that he had clear
title to the property. Clerk of Board Mallery stated that the District records show '
no pro6f of having received any money covering annexation costs for the property
owned by Mr. Leonardo.
Director WaReman stated this could be another case where the Contractor has
connected the property to the sewer line and did not obtain a permit and mentioned
to Mr. George Leonardo that the District is asking for the Assessment in the amount of
$998.64 and that his property has never been a part of the District.
(2) WILLIAM V. D. JOHNSON - 62 1 362;_.3~ 29_p~:- Mr. Johnson stated that the

Mention was made that this petition could have been filed but %he annexation never was
approved. This parcel of Mrs. Smith's was never included in the district and was
definitely an excluded parcel.
Mrs. Smith stated she wished to protest until she knew definitely what her charges would
be for this assessment. Mr. Harlan Moyer stated that her charges will be as those
on her notice, less approximately $100.00. This assessment will permit Mrs. Smith
to conmect to the sewer line and the property is now a part of the SOUTH TAHOE
PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT.
(4) S. H. OSER 62 1 126; 29 033 07: It was explained to Mr. S.H.Oser that the fee

charged a system charge - only district tax.

EASEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT:(DIRECTOR STEWART)
~ollowing is the report by the Easement Committee Chairman:
"Easement Committee Rep.or.t .o~. J.un~..lO.~ !.9.6.3.:
Those present were Manager Priday, Attorney Weidman, Director Fesler and myself, Director
Stewart, as Chairman. ~
The first subject on the Agenda was the final draft of the GROSS EASEMENT, which was
approved and an offer of $452.20 is being made for this easement. It was the findings
of this committee that the size of the GROSS EASEMENT could and should be reduced to
approximately one-half of the original siz~~ ~or~ ~istance of 390' which would be and will
save the District approximately $200.00 to $250.00.
Dr...Whitel[ request: We have no recommendation to make at this time in regards to the re-
quest of Dr. Whitely due to need of additional information fmmm the ElDorado County Road Dept.
ROWLAND EASEMENT: We do have a grant of easement on the ROWLAND property, but according to
our findings, this collection line is not within the easmment as granted.
We hereby recommend that the District abandon this line since it serves only as a lateral."
Director Kortes moved, seconded by Director Fesler, unanimously carried, that the ROWLAND
EASEMENT be abandoned as recommended by the Easement Committee Chairman.
"BAR~ON EASEMENT: This will require further study before a recommendation can be made.
We are at the present trying to determine the cost for easements,
VANCE EASEMENT: We do have a grant of easement on VANCE property but the owner claims damag~
to the property. The committee does not feel MR. VA~C'E' has a legal claim and the Attorney
was requested to settle this problem.
JOHNSON ESTATE EASEMENTS: Before this committee can make a recommendation concerning the
Johnson Estate Easements,further study and consideration will be required, as well as a
personal conference with the JOHNSON REPRESENTATIVES,

A report by Harlan Moyer was presented and discussed involving the following points:
(1) Contiguous annexations should be accomplished in an orderly manner; (2) non=contiguous
annexations of small isolated undeveloped subdivisions are not desirable both from a
financial standpoint and from the problems of service;(3) present annexation fees are entirely
inadequate;(4) contiguous areas annexation fees should range from $300 to $600 per acre,
based on current capital investment.
Ail coTnmittee members were in agreement that future annexations must be acoomplished
with a view toward overall planning considering the Regional Planning Commission, E1
Dorado County Planning Commission and other affected public entities, such as Fire
Distr~ct, etc. = ..... Attorney Weidman was requested to draw up a RESOLUTION tying in the
matter of annexations with the overall master planning for the area."

DETERMINING THAT THE ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN TERRITORY WILL NOT FACILITATE THE
ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, COMPLETION, OR OPERATION OF ANY PUBLIC UTILITY WORKS OR

ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
JUNE 27, 1963
The Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility District met in an adjourned
session June 27, 1963, 8:00 P.M.
ROLL CALL: Present were President Clarke, Directors Wakeman, Fesler, Kortes and Stewart.
Also present were General Manager Priday, Clerk of Board Mallery, Attorney J. Weidman,
Engineer H. Moyer, W. C. Taylor, L. Shoupe, Donald Richardson.
President Clarke called the meeting to order at 8:00 P.M. and he also complimented Director
Wakeman for his manner in conducting the meetings during his absence.
MANAGER'S REPORT: General Manager Priday read his report which is as follows:
"Manager"s Repmrt
June 27, 1968
PLANT OPERATION: Holding Pond freeboard 5'11".
should get a special thanks for a job well done.
the pond is gaining in freeboard.
Again I think the 'men on the hill'
Even though the flows are increasing
The time delay mechanism, built by Mr. Taylor, Supt. of Plant Operations, and installed
on the spray pumps is working as anticipated. The mechanism allows time for the spray
system to drain before the pumps go on again after a power failure. Heretofore, the
pumps were manually turned on after having to drain the lines. It has been necessary
to drain the lines after the pumps shutoff so the piping will not fail, due to movement
from pump pressure, because the lines are on top of ground and have a minimum of
anchorage.
I would like to recommend to the Board that Link Road be paved over to Mr. Perry's fence
for the full length of the District's easement to the pump station. By so doing, it will
benefit the District and the residents using the road as it is very narrow and
particularly difficult to travel during inclement weather. The subject work would only
involve the District right-of-way. Approximate cost - $400.00.
I would like to recommend to the Board that the plant and inspection personnel be uniformed.
I feel by putting uniforms on the plant personnel, it would upgrade the individual by
keeping uniformity and cleanliness to a higher degree. In fact it has been suggested by
the Industrial Accident Commission that it could be a safe guard against an employees
family being subjected to impurities by having to change from his working clothes and
showering before leaving plant. By putting the inspectors in uniforms it would help
identify them as District personnel and make their entree to the public more official.
We have investigated the uniform service and it is as follows:
This concern furnishes seven (7) uniforms per man. The name is put
on the shirts at no extra cost to the District. Any District insignia
that we might want on the shirts would be an extra cost to the District.
The cost per man for the uniform service would be approximately $2.70
per man per week.
Seven (7) uniforms per week, per man, are furnished. Three (3) will be
in the laundry at ail times. Three (3) will be worn by the man during
the week (a clean uniform every other morning) and the fourth (4th) will
be put on Friday morning when the laundry will exchange three (3) clean
uniforms for three (3) dirty uniforms.
They have a selection of approximately (8) eight colors to choose from
or they can arrange any com~ination of colors from the basic colors
supplied that the District might want.
Uniforms needed:
11 - operating and maintenance
? ~- inspectors
13 Total @$2.70 per man - $35.10 per week."
RDCOMMENDATIONS OF GENERAL MANAGER PRIDAY: (1) ~[LI~K~0AD: Director Stewart moved,
seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried, that General Manager Priday's recommenda-
tion be accepted.
(2) RE UNIFORMS: Director Kortes moved, seconded by Director Stewart, unanimously
carried, that General Manager Priday's recommendation to obtain theuniforms be approved.
Director Fesler moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried, that the
Manager's Report be accepted.

June 27, 1963 Adjourned Meeting
Mention was made re the Lake Tahoe Area Council Report. It was stated that no report was
received by the District.
In answer to the question as to the District's opinion of the Lake Tahoe Area Council
Report, Engineer ti. Moyer stated that the report did not state anything regarding cost or
how it would affect the South Tahoe area, and it is not possible for the District to
give an opinion at this time.
Director Fesler stated that the intention of this meeting was to discuss the
future plans of the District and that because it will be sometime ~efore the
District can use the Forest Service land, he questioned the advisability of the
entire U.S.Forest Service program.
Engineer H. Moyer stated that land disposal or any other means is not their recommended
answer to effluent disposal and the plan was to assure the protection of the Lake from
pollution at the present time and near foreseeable future.
After reviewing the files (re 660 Application) and what was said at the meeting which all
Directors attended at Sacramento, Mr. Moyer stated that Mr. Bonderson stated the District
application was:
(1) a grant on effluent pump stations and force main;
)2) land disposal system;
(37 in addition to the treatment plant, provide a better effluent for
land disposal as well as increasing the effluent from the plant
which would be Tertiary Treatment.
Mr. Moyer also stated that it would be to the District's advantage to provide a better
treatment of effluent.
Mr. Moyer stated that the Health Service stated they do approve the portion that relates
to Tertiary Treatment and have not stated if they will approve the part that relates to
the Forest Service Land Use. Also, Mr. Moyer stated that he understood the Health
Service w~ould notify the district in time for the application to be changed if they
will not approve the portion for the Forest Land Use.
The District is still under the Cease and Desist Order issued by the Lahontan
Regional Water Pollution ?Control Board and that the LRWPCB does not aare what type
of treatment is given the effluent - - their concern is that the effluent be confined
to the disposal site only.
Also, Mr. Moyer stated that by Tertiary Treatment many of the nutrients would be removed,
possibly eliminate the sewage disposal by land methods, eliminate the odors, and there
will be no A.B.S. in the effluent. However, Mr. Moyer stated, land disposal is
necessary and the District will have to abide by the request. In order to use land
disposal and make it successful the effluent will be treated to a higher degree. Nutrients
will be removed that could cause this disposal to the lake - - this is the entire
program the grant was set up for. In order to get help, the grant had to be made be-
case of the cause of the problem we have with land disposal.
Engineer Moyer stated that the expansion project for the district will cover: (1) force main and pumping station Est. $150,000[
(2) additional holding ponds and spray disposal facilities ---Est $150,000;
(3) Tertiary treatment plant - - - $600,000
Total costs ..... $1,113,500
Engineer Moyer presented the plans and specifications to the Board and stated that
the plans are not in formal form but must be submitted describing the intended use.
The plans and specifications for the Tertiary Treatment will be submitted in final
form in approximately four (4) months. These plans are needed to accompany the
Forest Service Use Permit Mr. Moyer stated and suggested that they are not submitted
until all necessary documents are ready to be sent to the Forest Service.
Mr. Moyer also stated that the Directors have to decide whether or not they want to
plan for the Tertiary Treatment, and ..... if so, this will produce an effluent that
is better than now. Also, if the District wishes to take advantage of the 30% Federal
funds, the engineer should be authorized to go ahead with the plans and specifications
for the Tertiary Treatment, which will take apprdximately four (4) months to prepare
in final form.

Mr. Moyer also stated that if the District is going to continue with land disposal the
same problems will be faced as are faced now. Right now, we have to continue with
land disposal because it is the only form that is approved by the Lahontan Water Regional
~ollution Control Board, and they are the ones that have set the standards and require=
ments.
Mr. Moyer also stated that with proper treatment and dangers of pollution will be
eliminated and this area will be an atDraction for the South Shore. The effluent will
then be good, clear, pure water because it will meet the standards required for drinking
water.
Mr. Priday stated that Mr. Elwood Johnson stated he felt the Tertiary Treatment was
an excellent idea and he is in hopes of being able to use this in Lake Christopher.
Mr. Moyer stated the only reason this is being put on land is because there is no other
place to put the effluent.
General Manager Priday stated that many people will use the effluent if treated by the
Tertiary Treatment and that the U.S.Forest Service would use it but cannot use it with
the present treatment the effluent is given.
Director Wakeman stated that by going Tertiary Treatment we will be doubling the
capacity of the plant. He then asked if - "We are thinking of the development of Lake
Tahoe? If so, why don't we think big enough about paying for the development of Lake
Tahoe? Why don't we get outside help" Why don't we present our problem to a higher
pgwer?"
General Manager Priday stated that all authorities that could be contacted regarding our
problem have been written to - such as Governor Brown, Governor Sawyer, Congreeman
"Bizz" Johnson, etc.
President Clarke stated that the outside world is not allowing us to solve our problem;
they are telling us what we can or cannot do and I think they should pay for the
privilege of apeaking their piece.
Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Kortes, unanimously carried that the Engineer
be authorized to prepare and submit plans and specifications on the basis of the
program as outlined re 660 Fund and our Use Permit, Pump Stations, Force Mains, Spray
Disposal; also, the Tertiary Treatment Plans, which will take four (4) months to prepare.
Upon receipt of these plans, submit to the agencies requesting them.
Discussion was held as to requesting an audience with the U.S.Public Health Service.
Director Stewart stated that he would like to have our Manager authorized to contact the
heads of the agencies and set up a meeting in regards to the 660 Funds.
President Clarke instructed our Manager to contact the agencies and set up a meeting with
Mr. Bonderson, Thourene, and the Representative from the Forest Service.
COMMITTEE REPORTS: Director Stewart stated that Tuesday, June 25, the committee -
General Manager Priday, Director Fesler, and Director Stewart met.
Discussed were: (1) ALVA BARTON EASEMENT: An offer was made to Alva Barton in the amount
of $540.00 to settle th'is cla'i~'.'" ~i~'Ba~ton will accept this amount and Director Stewart
recommended that this easement claim be settled in the amount of $540.00. Director
Wakeman seconded, unanimously carried.
(2) KNOX JOHNSON - ESTATE: Director Stewart stated that at the present time there is an
easement that has been pending for a number of years which is in the Johnson acres -
Lots 10 and 11. This was discussed with Mr. Knox Johnson and Mr. William V. D. Johnson.
There are three different pipe lines that the District encroached on the property in
front of the plant which is 40' by 100' long, and for which the District has a right-of-
way.
We discussed the outright purchase of this property, which is the lot in front of the
plant(Johnson Road), at .10¢ square foot and we can make the purchase instead of procuring
the granting of an easement. This purchase will give the District ownership of l~nd
contiguous to the existing boundaries of the South Tahoe Public Utility District anda
allow the annexation of the plant property to the District. This annexation will eliminate
the assessing of the District property by the County. Total figure to settle this with
the Johnson Estate is $7,100.00. -
Director Stewart moved, seconded by Director Wakeman, unanimously carried, that the District
follow through with this and request the Johnson Estate to annex the 71 acres to the
District in consideration of the settlement of this easement and have title to the land in
