Manager Cofer stated he had met with Lahontan Staff to discuss the concept of the alternative mitigation plan and reviewed his concept of the plan. Lahontan Staff told Manager Cofer they had discussed the plan with their Board Members and felt there was a problem with this mitigation plan because it would require permits which the District does not have and may not be able to get. Lahontan staff felt the new plan left too big a doubt for the District to be able to implement th mitigation plan. The Lahontan Staff suggested the STPUD Board consider making a financial contribution to some Water Quality Mitigation Study as an alternative to this proposal. Attorney Wediman stated he felt the Staff should carry out the promise to the Lahontan Board to investigate the alternative mitigation plan.
