JOHN WYNN: Item #3. ~R. COFER: Mr. Sare is not here. 3/20/86 Board Meeting He indicated he was going to ask for a continuance, but we have not heard officially from him. Rick wanted to report on what he found at the Savings and Loan. RICK HYDRICK: From the beginning?, or just what corrective measures were taken? MR COFER: What you found and what they are doing... RICKHYDRICK: We got a tip through our receptionist that, through someone she knows, that the roof leaders led to the sewer. So, we went and dye-tested them. We got positive tests. We dye-tested the sump in the parking lot area. Bank of America and the whole Tahoe Savings and Loan Building flows..it all slopes to that sump. Also, the roof gutter right above the sump, is.. someone took channel locks or something and Lipped that, so it all drains right in there. That, I think, is still draining from snow melt into the parking lot sump. We dye-tested that, and that was a positive test. We issued a 7-day correction notice which is the most time we can give by ordinance. Apparently, someone went down to Mr. Mason's office, checked the original plans and they showed the leaders going to splash block outside, as they should at that time, for drainage and 3/20/86 Board Meeting, cont. PAGE 2 and they weren't hooked up to the sewer. So, somewhere after the fact, someone hooked roof leaders into the sewer. It is a two-tier building. There is a third floor, part of it's three floors, and part of it is two. So, the second floor section is hooked up to the sewer. The third floor is not. I got a call, several calls, from Mr. Sare and Mr Kaufman, who is the property manager, I guess, and they indicated that they needed additional time, and they were not sure how much. They felt they might need a Lahontan Waste Discharge Permit to pump the water off the property. They need approvals from Bank of America to cross the property and Cal-Trans to dump into their storm drain, and, on my last conversation, they were not sure of all of the approvals that they would need to effect the results that we want. They also felt that exploratory excavation would be needed just to find where those roof leaders tied into the sewer line, and that would take some time. They didn't feel that TRPA would be anxious to give a permit for that kind of excavation. So, I hadn't heard anything. Dale Sate called me, he said that he would be writing requesting continuation and we haven't received anything. I asked Mr. Cofer yesterday evening and he hadn't received anything up to that time. I haven't received anything. But, Jim Brotherton came in, of Jim Brotherton Excavating Pipeline, and they signed him to take care of the job. They told him whatever it takes (These are Jim's words) and I talked to him just before I came to the Board Meeting. He said that Cal-Trans wouldn't let them go into the storm drain, that they had to get approval from TRPA and they needed at least 20 days to design proper drainage 3/20/86 Board Meeting, cont. PAGE 3 facilities and get the approvals and do the work. So, he wants at least 20 days extension. But, I am a little disappointed that some official from Tahoe Savings and Loan isn't here because I would like to hear it from them. I would think you would too, but that's what their Contractor told me. JIM JONES: Are they still connected, everything's connected? RICK HYDRICK: Yeah, the flows during the storm that came in from that building were just tremendous, I am sure. I was driving in that area, checking out and plugging manholes and everything else, and there was quite a flow in that parking lot and I am sure, on the roof from the melted snow. I guess that's about it. I'd sure like at least to see the parking lot taken care of, but it looks like they are going to have to tie everything together so they still don't want to pull the plug. Were they to pull the plug and we get a rain storm or whatever, it could be easily inundate the basement and they have offices down there. So, there would be property damage. I'd love to pull it, but I don't know how we could do that. MR. COFER: I think this is another case of it may have been intentional at the time they plumbed it up. It certainly was not intentional before the storm but I think we've got this one corrected. This one could be a major source. We understand that when the water 3/20/86 Board Meeting, cont. PAGE 4 gets real high, it not only drains their parking lot, it drains the post office parking lot into that area, so it could be a major source of water. We have to get it corrected. NEAL OLSON: Post office wouldn't reach there... MR. COFER: I've driven through that street too. It is almost to their parking lot. NEAL OLSON: Your'e kidding.. RICK HYDRICK: Bob Kaufman and Dale Sare both said that the Post Office does drain into that parking lot. NEAL OLSON: Would you recommend a ~0-day corredtion? MR. COFER: I would give that to the same July 17th, to come in with a corrected solution. If they have done something by then...That should give them time to work with the Agencies. NEAL OLSON: I so move..July 17th, Corrective Notice. MASON: WYNN: AYES: Second. On the Question, those in favor? Unanimous.
